Harris and Walz Campaign in Georgia as Fall Races Heat Up: Election Updates

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are taking a bus tour through rural Georgia on Wednesday before a packed Labor Day schedule, while Donald J. Trump and JD Vance have a busy lineup of events ahead this week.

Here’s the latest on the presidential race.

It’s not yet Labor Day, but the fall campaign season is hitting full swing. Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, started a bus tour in Georgia on Wednesday afternoon , after Mr. Walz began his day delivering a speech at a gathering of the International Association of Fire Fighters in Boston.

On Monday, Labor Day, Ms. Harris and President Biden are set to make their first joint campaign appearance since her nomination. She also plans to appear in Detroit, and Mr. Walz will head to Wisconsin, another battleground state.

Their Republican rivals, former President Donald J. Trump and Senator JD Vance of Ohio, have a busy slate as well, including several rallies this week and a town hall in La Crosse, Wis., on Thursday. Mr. Vance is making stops on Wednesday in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and on Thursday Mr. Trump will be in Michigan and Wisconsin.

While they flood the swing states with appearances and ads, the Harris and Trump campaigns are still tussling over the logistics of the ABC News presidential debate set for Sept. 10. Mr. Trump on Tuesday announced for a second time that he would participate in the debate, and he suggested that the question of whether microphones would be muted when a candidate wasn’t speaking had been resolved. But a person briefed on the Harris campaign’s thinking said the issue remained an open discussion, and a spokesman for ABC declined to comment.

Here’s what else to know:

Elon Musk hires up : The world’s richest person hired a Republican operative with expertise in field organizing to help steer his political work, suggesting he is preparing to become even more involved in Republican politics. Get-out-the-vote efforts have been a priority for Mr. Musk, who has endorsed Mr. Trump.

Harris’s next big interview: Ms. Harris has agreed to her first major interview as the Democratic presidential nominee. She will appear on CNN alongside Mr. Walz for a joint interview on Thursday in Georgia.

Cemetery clash: Members of Mr. Trump’s campaign team and an official at Arlington National Cemetery confronted one another during the former president’s visit to the cemetery on Monday, the military cemetery said.

Kennedy and the whale: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sawed the head off a dead whale and drove it home, his daughter said in a 2012 magazine article that has recently resurfaced.

A focus on China: For two years, a rural town in the middle of Michigan has been embroiled in a civil war over plans by a Chinese-owned electric vehicle battery company to build a $2.4 billion factory. The Trump campaign is seeking to leverage local anti-China sentiment in its effort to win Michigan this fall.

Trump’s transition team: Mr. Trump put his former rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and a former Democratic congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard, on his presidential transition team , which will help him select the policies and personnel of any second Trump administration. Mr. Kennedy ended his independent campaign for president and endorsed Mr. Trump on Friday.

Donald Trump’s main super PAC, MAGA Inc., made its largest independent expenditure of the cycle on Wednesday, spending $23 millon on TV and direct mail, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. Over the last week, the group has spent over $45 million on attacking Kamala Harris.

Michael C. Bender

JD Vance ended his event in Wisconsin by declining to say whether presidential candidates should have to abide by federal law banning campaigns from filming at gravesites, as former President Donald J. Trump did at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday . Instead, Vance put the onus on military families.

“The right person to ask is the Gold Star families who invited Donald Trump and lost a loved one because of Kamala Harris’s failed policies,” Vance said, responding to a reporter’s question. “Were they happy to have the president of the United States there? They would say, ‘Absolutely, thank God somebody showed up.’”

Trump videos at Arlington stir more fallout after his gravesite visit.

The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald J. Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed.

Relatives of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano issued their statement two days after Mr. Trump’s visit, which also included a confrontation between members of the Trump campaign and an Arlington employee. The former president’s campaign took video in a heavily restricted section of the cemetery known as Section 60, which is largely reserved for the fallen veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

A woman who works at the cemetery filed an incident report with the military authorities over the altercation. But the official, who has not been identified, later declined to press charges. Military officials said she feared Mr. Trump’s supporters pursuing retaliation.

Sergeant Marckesano died on July 7, 2020, after moving to Washington to begin a job at the Pentagon. He had three children, and friends said he had chronic post-traumatic stress disorder from his time in combat. He earned Silver and Bronze Stars during his service. His gravesite is adjacent to that of Staff Sergeant Darin Taylor Hoover, a Marine who was killed in the 2021 bombing at Abbey Gate outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.

The Hoover family granted permission to the Trump team to film and take photographs at the gravesite; the Marckesano family did not, and filming and photographing at the gravesite for political purposes is a violation of federal law, according to cemetery officials. Yet Sergeant Marckesano’s grave was shown in photos from the visit that were published online. A video was posted to Mr. Trump’s TikTok account featuring footage from the Section 60 visit and the gravestones from behind, with narration criticizing the handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

In a statement from Sergeant Marckesano’s relatives after being contacted by The New York Times, his sister, Michele, said, “We fully support Staff Sergeant Darin Hoover’s family and the other families in their quest for answers and accountability regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal and the tragedy at Abbey Gate.”

“However,” she added, “according to our conversation with Arlington National Cemetery, the Trump campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit to Staff Sergeant Hoover’s gravesite in Section 60, which lays directly next to my brother’s grave.”

Sergeant Marckesano’s sister continued, “We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that these were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and that they are honored and respected accordingly.”

Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, did not address the statement from the Marckesano family, saying when asked about the TikTok video only that “the campaign will continue to respect the wishes of the Gold Star family members who invited President Trump.”

Sergeant Marckesano had served six tours in Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne and others in combat overseas, according to news accounts at the time of his death. His family is said to have sought privacy since his death.

In the aftermath of the Monday altercation, the Army has closed the matter, after the Arlington official declined to press charges. According to three U.S. military officials, some Trump campaign members confronted and eventually pushed past the cemetery official when she tried to stop them from taking photos in Section 60.

Two Trump campaign officials, Mr. Cheung and Chris LaCivita, had insulted the cemetery worker in public statements on Tuesday. Mr. Cheung asserted that she was “suffering from a mental health episode” while Mr. LaCivita said that she was a “despicable individual” who “does not deserve to represent the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

Military officials said that the cemetery worker feared that pursuing the matter with the authorities at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia, which has jurisdiction over the cemetery, could subject her to retaliation from Trump supporters. Mr. Cheung said in a statement on Wednesday that “that is ridiculous and sounds like someone who has Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

The Trump team had said it was prepared to release footage of the altercation, but never did.

Several Army officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential aspects of the matter, on Wednesday sought to keep the politically charged issue from escalating. But at the same time, they defended the cemetery official and pushed back on attacks from the Trump campaign, with one official saying that the woman at the cemetery was just trying to do her job.

Since Monday, the former president’s cemetery visit has become increasingly scrutinized for its political nature.

He was there for a wreath-laying ceremony honoring 13 American troops who were killed in the Abbey Gate bombing during the United States’ Afghanistan withdrawal three years ago. Mr. Trump has said President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris bear responsibility for the bombing and America’s chaotic withdrawal, and repeated his attacks on the subject in campaign events after his visit to the cemetery.

Mr. Trump had laid three wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknowns on Monday morning, the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing. Two of the wreaths were for Marines killed: Sergeant Hoover and Sgt. Nicole Gee. A third was dedicated to all 13 troops killed.

Mr. Trump was accompanied there by family members of the two slain Marines, as well as Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews and Corporal Kelsee Lainhart , two Marines who were injured in the Abbey Gate attack.

Mr. Trump then accompanied the families and Marine veterans to Section 60. That part of Mr. Trump’s visit was private and closed to the press, and resulted in the confrontation . In a statement, the cemetery said that federal law prohibited political campaigning or “election-related” activities within Army cemeteries, including by photographers, and that the prohibition was “widely shared” with those participating in the event.

For centuries the United States has tried to keep military might and partisan politics far from each other, to avoid the appearance of allegiances to a political party or ideology. Because of this, military members are forbidden from participating in partisan activities or endorsing candidates while in uniform and military bases are off-limits for political campaigns.

It was unclear on Wednesday whether the Defense Department would pursue a legal claim related to the episode.

Campaigning in Erie, Pa., on Wednesday, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, Mr. Trump’s running mate, blamed “some staff member” at the cemetery for the incident and criticized the media for reporting on it.

“Apparently somebody at Arlington Cemetery, some staff member had a little disagreement with somebody,” Mr. Vance said. “And they have turned — the media has turned this into a national news story.”

Photos of Mr. Trump’s visit to Section 60 were later published online. Mr. Trump was photographed giving a “thumbs up” to the camera standing behind the grave of Sergeant Hoover, with Sergeant Marckesano’s grave clearly visible a few feet away. Mr. Trump posted the video on TikTok on Tuesday that also showed the two headstones from behind as Mr. Trump laid flowers.

Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah, who published one photo of himself and Mr. Trump standing behind the graves on social media, apologized on Wednesday for including other photos of the visit to Section 60 in a campaign email that solicited donations.

“This was not a campaign event and was never intended to be used by the campaign,” Mr. Cox said on social media . “It did not go through the proper channels and should not have been sent. My campaign will be sending out an apology.”

Michael C. Bender contributed reporting from Erie, Pa., and Dave Philipps from Colorado Springs.

JD Vance opened his remarks in De Pere, Wisc., his second of two campaign events today, with an extraordinary take on Vice President Kamala Harris. “She pretty much agrees with Donald Trump on everything,” Vance said. That’s not true, and Vance did not provide examples. Instead, he joked with the crowd that “she doesn’t think she’s going to win this race and she’s auditioning for my job.”

Swifties for Kamala, a group that is not affiliated with Kamala Harris’s campaign or Taylor Swift, raised more than $120,000 for the campaign after hosting a two-hour organizing call Tuesday, said Irene Kim, a founder of the group. The call featured remarks from Carole King, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey of Massachusetts, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. Kim said some 34,000 people were on the call.

Harris tours Georgia as Democrats see the state fully in play.

Vice President Kamala Harris, aiming to go on offense against former President Donald J. Trump in Georgia, kicked off a bus tour on Wednesday in the rural southeastern corner of the battleground state.

Ms. Harris’s trip emphasizes a growing sense of optimism among Georgia Democrats that she could hold on to the state, which President Biden narrowly won in 2020. The Democratic ticket’s standing in the polls there has increased significantly since Mr. Biden dropped out of the race, although Ms. Harris still trails Mr. Trump, according to a New York Times polling average . Her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, joined her for the two-day bus tour, which is meant in part to mobilize rural Black voters and will culminate with a rally in Savannah.

The bus carrying Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz is emblazoned with the words “A New Way Forward,” which has become one of their campaign slogans as Democrats try to portray Mr. Trump as a creature of the past.

In her first stop on Wednesday, Ms. Harris visited a high school in Hinesville, Ga., a city of roughly 35,000 where nearly one in two residents are Black, to hear the school band play. After the performance, she stressed the importance of practice to the student musicians — comments that could have reflected on her own sudden journey from serving as vice president to becoming the Democratic nominee.

“It requires a whole lot of rehearsal, a whole lot of practice, long hours, right?” said Ms. Harris, adding that she, too, had played in school bands. “Sometimes you hit the note, sometimes you don’t, right? But all that practice makes for beautiful music, and that is a metaphor — that is symbolic — for everything that you all will do in your life.”

The bus tour’s route takes the candidates through a part of the state not often visited by Democrats, underscoring the campaign’s efforts to motivate rural voters. That is true not just in Georgia, but also in nearby North Carolina, a demographically similar Sunbelt state.

Both states have significant populations of Black voters, including many who live in rural areas. Democrats have said that they must drive up turnout outside major cities and suburbs to defeat Mr. Trump statewide. Polls show Ms. Harris performing far better in North Carolina than Mr. Biden did, and her allies in the state have compared the energy of her campaign to Barack Obama’s in 2008 , the last time a Democrat was victorious there.

Her swing through Georgia with Mr. Walz carries echoes of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, in which he and Al Gore, his running mate, traversed the Peach State’s rural towns with their wives, as Mr. Clinton leaned on his Southern bona fides. Mr. Clinton later won Georgia by less than one percentage point, making him the last Democrat to take the state before Mr. Biden’s victory in 2020.

Mr. Biden won Georgia by fewer than 12,000 votes and lost North Carolina by under 75,000, his closest defeat in 2020. The two states, which had been leaning toward Mr. Trump before Ms. Harris’s rise, are now considered tossups. One of Mr. Trump’s clearest paths to victory would involve holding North Carolina and flipping Georgia and Pennsylvania, which, with 19 electoral votes, is the most valuable of the battleground states.

The Harris campaign knows that winning Georgia or North Carolina would almost certainly guarantee her the White House. A Democrat who can defeat Mr. Trump in those traditionally moderate states is likely to face a far easier route to victory in the union-heavy blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Republicans know that, too. Mr. Trump and his allies have invested heavily in advertising in Georgia and North Carolina.

“If Harris wins North Carolina, she’s the next president of the United States,” that state’s governor, Roy Cooper, a Democrat, said in an interview this month.

There has been some tension between Democrats in Georgia and North Carolina as they lobby their national party for resources .

North Carolina Democrats have been particularly motivated by the Republican candidate for governor, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who is from his party’s far-right wing and has called for banning abortion at six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. In contrast, Georgia has no competitive statewide races this year, unlike in 2020, when the Senate campaigns of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff helped turn out Democrats alongside Mr. Biden.

That is part of why Democrats have set their sights beyond the deep-blue Metro Atlanta area and are trying to mobilize voters in Georgia’s southeast and coastal regions, where there are many Black voters whose support will matter at the margins.

“The coast matters,” said Aaron Whitely, the chair of the Democratic Party in Chatham County, which includes Savannah, a smaller Democratic stronghold. “It is not surprising to us that the blue wave is in full effect here.”

New York Times/Siena College polls this month found Mr. Trump leading Ms. Harris by four percentage points among likely voters in Georgia, but trailing her by two points in North Carolina. A previous Times/Siena survey of the Sun Belt states — which did not include North Carolina — found Mr. Trump beating Mr. Biden by eight points in Georgia.

Although Mr. Biden won in 2020 thanks in large part to turnout from Black voters, his support from them dimmed amid high inflation. Ms. Harris, who is Black and of South Asian descent, has re-energized many of them, polls show.

Black voters make up roughly one-third of the electorate in Georgia and one-quarter in North Carolina — higher levels than their representation nationwide. In 2020, about 13 percent of Americans who cast ballots were Black.

Georgia and North Carolina aren’t the only states where the Harris campaign is targeting rural voters. She and Mr. Walz also took a bus tour this month through a conservative county outside Pittsburgh.

Ms. Harris is raising money at a faster pace than Mr. Trump, allowing her to flood the airwaves in the battleground states. She has also built a more robust infrastructure of campaign offices and staff than Mr. Trump, which Democrats say will give her the advantage in getting out the vote. The Trump campaign is relying more on a force of volunteers and well-funded efforts from outside super PACs .

Later on Wednesday, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz stopped at a barbecue restaurant in Savannah. There, Mr. Walz displayed the kind of folksiness that Democrats hope will draw working- and middle-class voters, chatting about his children and “farm country.”

The Minnesota governor, a former high school social studies teacher and football coach, also found a table of patrons that included fellow teachers, who asked him for selfies.

“Can we do a teacher one?” a woman asked, before posing for a photo with Mr. Walz.

Donald Trump reposts a crude sexual remark about Kamala Harris on Truth Social.

Former President Donald J. Trump used his social-media website on Wednesday to amplify a crude remark about Vice President Kamala Harris that suggested Ms. Harris traded sexual favors to help her political career.

The post, by another user on Truth Social, was an image of Ms. Harris and Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump’s opponent in 2016. The text read: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”

The remark was a reference to Mrs. Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, and the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and a right-wing contention that Ms. Harris’s romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco whom she dated in the mid-1990s while he was speaker of the California State Assembly, fueled her political rise.

Mr. Trump’s repost was the second time in 10 days that the former president shared content from his personal account making sexually oriented attacks on Ms. Harris. Though he has a history of making crass insults about his opponents, the reposts signal Mr. Trump’s willingness to continue to shatter longstanding norms of political speech.

The image Mr. Trump shared on Wednesday morning was another user’s screenshot of a post on X, and it was a reply to an unrelated video clip Mr. Trump had posted on Tuesday night.

Mr. Trump reposted the image as part of a series of 30 reposts he made on Truth Social between 8:02 and 8:32 a.m. on Wednesday, including several posts with references to the QAnon conspiracy theory movement and its slogan. Mr. Trump also reposted photos that called for the prosecution or imprisoning of top Democrats and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. The former president has vowed to direct federal prosecutors to investigate his political enemies if elected.

Previously, on Aug. 18, Mr. Trump had shared a video from the Dilley Meme Team — a group of right-wing internet content creators that makes pro-Trump videos and memes denigrating his opponents — that parodied the Alanis Morissette song “Ironic” to attack Ms. Harris as “moronic.” In the parody song, the singer says Ms. Harris “spent her whole damn life down on her knees,” at which point a photo of Mr. Brown appears onscreen.

The Harris campaign, which has largely ignored Mr. Trump’s personal attacks, declined to comment.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly been accused of sexual misconduct and was found liable last year for sexual abuse and defamation. He has a history of attacking female opponents and critics in deeply personal terms, often describing them as mentally ill or at times expressing contempt in epithets.

Republicans close to Mr. Trump have expressed concern that he and his allies risk alienating women, Black voters and moderate swing-state voters if they continue to use racist and sexist attacks against Ms. Harris, the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to accept a major party’s presidential nomination. Mr. Trump last week acknowledged that some of his advisers have urged him to move away from personal attacks, a shift he said he did not plan to take.

Last month, Mr. Trump questioned Ms. Harris’s identity as a Black woman, suggesting at a convention of Black journalists that Ms. Harris had used her racial profile as a way to gain a political advantage.

The Trump campaign did not initially respond to a request for comment. But after this article was published online, Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, complained about The New York Times and said that Mr. Trump, in his reposts about Ms. Harris, “rightfully calls to question her ability to be commander in chief.” The campaign did not respond to questions about the content of these posts and whether Mr. Trump intends to continue such attacks on Ms. Harris. Ms. Leavitt added, “The Failing New York Times spends more time airing negative stories about President Trump than writing about the negative consequences of Kamala Harris’s policies as vice president.”

Ms. Harris has for decades been subject to attacks like the ones Mr. Trump amplified, though they became more frequent during the 2020 presidential campaign, when she was President Biden’s running mate. Critics pointed to her relationship with Mr. Brown as a way to question her qualifications. And after the right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested falsely, quoting from a conservative website, that Ms. Harris had “slept her way up,” T-shirts with the slogan “Joe and the Hoe” were worn by Mr. Trump’s supporters.

The slogan remained popular throughout Mr. Trump’s third presidential bid, and T-shirts bearing the phrase were frequently seen at Mr. Trump’s rallies up until Mr. Biden suspended his presidential bid.

Ms. Harris and her allies have over the years dismissed the claims that her relationship with Mr. Brown was central to her political rise, calling such attacks sexist and saying that she was qualified for positions she has held, including two state posts that Mr. Brown appointed her to, as well as winning elections as district attorney of San Francisco and California attorney general .

Mr. Trump frequently deployed gender-based attacks against Mrs. Clinton in his successful 2016 campaign. Faced with criticism over his treatment of women and the release of the “Access Hollywood” recording in which he crudely boasted about grabbing women’s genitals, Mr. Trump repeatedly pointed to the sexual indiscretions of Mrs. Clinton’s husband.

Throughout his political career, Mr. Trump has made a habit of sharing others’ divisive or offensive social media posts, then dismissing criticism by arguing he was simply reposting.

Last year, a jury found that Mr. Trump had sexually abused the writer E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room in the mid-1990s, then defamed her in a Truth Social post. Earlier this year, Ms. Carroll was awarded an $83.3 million judgment for continued attacks in social media posts.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, have arrived in Georgia for a two-day bus tour of the battleground state’s rural southeast corner. Democrats are aiming to go on the offensive against former President Donald J. Trump and are expressing renewed confidence about their chances of winning the state.

Their campaign bus, which is mostly blue with a red stripe and two large white stars, is emblazoned with a phrase that has become one of their campaign slogans: “A New Way Forward.”

Reporting from Washington

G.O.P. releases Jan. 6 footage, seeking to shift blame from Trump to Pelosi.

House Republicans on Wednesday made their latest attempt to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, releasing a video compilation that sought to shift blame away from former President Donald J. Trump and onto former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was pursued that day by a violent mob of Trump supporters.

The Republican-controlled House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight released video clips, some previously unseen, shot for an HBO documentary about Ms. Pelosi. In them she is shown on the day of the riot venting her rage about the rampage at the Capitol, criticizing security officials for failing to anticipate and prevent it, and saying she felt responsible for their failure.

In the recordings, Ms. Pelosi rails against Mr. Trump and his role in firing up his supporters who stormed the Capitol, but also repeatedly suggests that she and her staff should have pushed the Capitol Police harder to make sure they were better prepared as Mr. Trump summoned thousands of his supporters to Washington to protest the transfer of power from the Trump administration to the Biden administration.

“I don’t care what they say — they should have had much more anticipation about the National Guard,” Ms. Pelosi said at one point during the footage.

At another point, she said: “I can’t believe the stupidity. I take full responsibility.”

In yet another clip, Ms. Pelosi hinted that Capitol Police officials might have deliberately failed to prepare enough, perhaps because they were sympathetic to Mr. Trump and his supporters.

“They thought these people would act civilized?” Ms. Pelosi said, sitting in the back of a car as her security detail whisked her away from an overrun Capitol to safety. “They thought these people gave a damn?”

She added: “Shame on us. I’m suspicious of their motivation, to tell you the truth.”

The video was shot for a documentary titled “Pelosi in the House” made by the filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi, Ms. Pelosi’s daughter.

Republicans, who have been working for years to absolve Mr. Trump for what happened on Jan. 6, used the footage as a fresh opportunity to blame the former speaker for the attack, when more than 150 police officers were injured and a handful of them ultimately lost their lives.

“For over three years, Nancy Pelosi has refused to take responsibility for her failure to secure the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021,” said Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, who is leading a Republican inquiry seeking to show bias in the work of the House committee that investigated the assault. “Instead, she has pushed the focus of the failure on President Trump. As speaker, she controlled House operations and security on the House side of the Capitol — which she acknowledges in this HBO footage.”

In fact, Ms. Pelosi was not solely responsible for the security of the Capitol that day. While the speaker wields considerable influence, security is the job of the Capitol Police, which is controlled by a board that includes one security official appointed by the speaker and one by the Senate leader, who at the time was Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky.

Ian Krager, a spokesman for Ms. Pelosi, denounced the Republicans’ efforts.

“Numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed again and again that Speaker Pelosi did not plan her own assassination on Jan. 6,” Mr. Krager said. “The speaker of the House is not in charge of the security of the Capitol Complex — on Jan. 6 or any other day of the week.”

In the video clips, Ms. Pelosi repeatedly made clear she believed that the blame for the attack fell on Mr. Trump, who spread lies about massive voter fraud stealing the 2020 election from him, fired up a rowdy crowd of his supporters near the White House and directed them to march to the Capitol while Congress was meeting to certify the election.

“I think our focus has to be on the president. Let’s not divert ourselves,” she said at one point, discussing a statement she would issue calling for Mr. Trump to be removed from office.

“There is a domestic enemy in the White House,” Ms. Pelosi said at another moment. “Let’s not mince words about this.”

The leaders of the now-defunct House Jan. 6 committee also opted to focus more on the actions of Mr. Trump that led to the assault on the Capitol than the security failures that allowed the complex to be overrun.

In a text message, Alexandra Pelosi said the batch of footage just released was “NOT news!” and noted that some of it had already been seen in her documentary, which premiered on HBO in 2022.

“Hope you appreciate the cinematography,” she added, noting her footwork to capture the scene as her mother fled the angry mob, “backwards and in heels!”

The Trump campaign already had about 50 supporters gathered to greet Vance at a deli in Erie, Pa., when the power went out, just 30 minutes before he arrived. “I think Kamala turned out the lights,” Vance told the crowd.

JD Vance, speaking in Erie, Pa., defended the campaign after an altercation on Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery and cursed Vice President Kamala Harris for the criticism from her campaign. “She wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up?” Vance said. “She can go to hell.”

Elon Musk, eyeing an edge for Trump, hires a Republican political adviser.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has hired a Republican operative with expertise in field organizing to help steer his political work, a move that suggests that Mr. Musk is preparing to become even more involved in Republican politics and get-out-the-vote efforts specifically.

Chris Young, most recently a senior political official at PhRMA, the trade association of the pharmaceutical industry that does some grass-roots organizing, is joining Mr. Musk’s team, according to three people briefed on the move. They spoke on condition of anonymity because it was not public.

The hire reflects a less whimsical approach to political involvement for Mr. Musk. The Tesla, X and SpaceX leader has been a mercurial political and philanthropic donor for years, frustrating some in the conservative movement. He has just a few key relationships in Washington: Mr. Musk is particularly close with Kevin McCarthy, the former speaker of the House, who himself is close with Mr. Young professionally.

Mr. Young has worked for the trade group since 2020 after rising through the ranks of Republican field organizing. A native of Louisiana, he began his career working as a field organizer for former Gov. Bobby Jindal’s operation before becoming the national field director for the Republican National Committee during the 2016 cycle.

Mr. Young was once the head of Engage Texas, a voter-registration nonprofit in the state funded by major Republican donors. Field organizing has been a priority of Mr. Musk, who like Mr. Young lives in Texas, during his recent foray into campaign politics. Mr. Musk, for instance, at one point privately dismissed television advertising and argued that donors should simply fund programs that convince voters, two at a time, to back Mr. Trump.

Mr. Young declined to comment. Mr. Musk and Jared Birchall, the head of Excession, Mr. Musk’s family office, did not return a request for comment.

Political “donor-advisers” function as both gatekeepers and consiglieres, and ultrarich donors typically hire them when they are preparing to make significant political contributions over the long term.

Part of Mr. Young’s job will be to serve as Mr. Musk’s eyes and ears at a super PAC that Mr. Musk started but has undergone some turbulence . America PAC is focused on Republican voter turnout, but the group effectively shelved its entire field operation after just a few weeks, following the super PAC’s hiring of a powerful Republican consulting firm. The group’s new leadership has since restarted its field program.

Senator JD Vance is speaking in Erie, Pa., the first of his two campaign events today. He’s joined by his wife, Usha, in a warehouse at Team Hardinger, a trucking logistics company, to “remind everybody just how good our truckers could do if we get better leadership in the White House.”

So much for tempering personal attacks. Vance just responded to a shouted comment from his crowd in Pennsylvania about speaking without a teleprompter: “Ma’am i don’t need a teleprompter, I’ve actually got thoughts in my head, unlike Kamala Harris.”

Donald Trump made an incendiary claim about his Secret Service protection.

Former President Donald J. Trump claimed without evidence in an interview broadcast on Tuesday that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had denied him sufficient Secret Service protection and that they were therefore partly responsible for the assassination attempt against him last month.

“Our people were always fighting to get more security, more Secret Service, and he knew that we didn’t have enough,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Biden during an interview with the television host Phil McGraw, known as Dr. Phil. “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. Look, they were weaponizing government against me. They brought in the whole D.O.J. to try and get me. They weren’t too interested in my health and safety.”

The Secret Service has been under a cloud since July 13, when the gunman was able to fire , unimpeded, on Mr. Trump at an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The attack grazed Mr. Trump’s ear, killed a spectator and seriously wounded two others. The F.B.I. is investigating, and congressional leaders have also opened inquiries. But there is no evidence that Mr. Biden or Ms. Harris knew about any deficiencies in Mr. Trump’s protection.

The Secret Service has taken responsibility for the security lapses that made the shooting possible. Kimberly A. Cheatle resigned as the agency’s director and has been replaced.

The former president’s remarks to Dr. Phil were similar to what Mr. Trump had written in a social media post in July , when he blamed Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris for the shooting and said they had failed to protect him.

Mr. Trump on Tuesday also echoed an accusation that some of his allies — including Senator JD Vance of Ohio, now his running mate — made right after the assassination attempt: that Democrats’ criticism of him, and descriptions of him as a threat to democracy, might have incited the gunman. Investigators have not confirmed the gunman’s motive.

That assertion by Mr. Trump came after Dr. Phil, referring to Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris, asked, “I’m not saying that they wanted you to get shot, but do you think it was OK with them if you did?”

“They’re saying I’m a threat to democracy. No, they’re a threat,” Mr. Trump replied. “They would say that. That was a standard line, just keep saying it, and you know that can get assassins or potential assassins going.” He added, “Maybe that bullet is because of their rhetoric.”

Mr. Biden, who did campaign against Mr. Trump as a threat to democracy , called for the nation to “lower the temperature in our politics” after the assassination attempt and condemned it.

Mr. Trump has a history of violent speech dating back to his 2016 campaign, when he suggested he might pay the legal fees of a supporter who was accused of attacking a protester, and said of Hillary Clinton : “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.” More recently, he has suggested that shoplifters should be shot and embraced the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He has also described the outcome of a Democratic victory in apocalyptic terms.

In the interview with Dr. Phil, which ran for about an hour, Mr. Trump also repeated his complaints about Ms. Harris replacing Mr. Biden as the Democratic nominee.

“In politics, you have an opponent and you win or you lose,” he said. “But you don’t have an opponent, and then you’re doing well against the opponent, they take him out, they give you a new opponent. They give you a nice fresh opponent.”

And he expanded his false claims about voter fraud, saying he believed he had won California — one of the most Democratic states in the country, which voted for Mr. Biden in 2020 by nearly 30 percentage points.

“If Jesus came down and was the vote counter, I would win California,” he said. “If we had an honest vote counter, I would win California.”

Democratic operatives have launched a super PAC called Democracy Defenders, starting with $10 million in funding, to support messaging and lawsuits against any Republican efforts to undermine voting rights, vote-counting or election certification. The PAC is led by Jim Messina, who managed the 2012 Obama campaign, and its chief strategist is the former Biden spokesman T.J. Ducklo.

In Boston, Walz assails Trump on labor and previews Harris’s debate: ‘It’s going to be good.’

Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, assailed former President Donald J. Trump’s labor record while contrasting it with his own at a firefighters’ union convention in Boston on Wednesday.

Speaking to the International Association of Fire Fighters, Mr. Walz built on the message woven throughout his party’s convention last week in Chicago: that Democrats were defending blue-collar workers, and Republicans hoped to exploit them.

“Every single chance they’ve gotten, they’ve waged a war on workers,” Mr. Walz said of Mr. Trump and Republicans, while promising that, if elected, Ms. Harris would sign the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, a proposed bill that would strengthen labor protections. (Congress would have to pass the bill first.)

Mr. Walz, in one of his first solo campaign appearances since being named to the Democratic ticket, also previewed the upcoming debate between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump. Campaigns often try to manage expectations, but Mr. Walz did not hold back.

He predicted that Ms. Harris would “hold him accountable on the debate stage,” referring to Mr. Trump.

“Tell me you’re not looking forward to that,” Mr. Walz said. “It’s going to be good.”

After a quiet stretch for Mr. Walz since the convention, his appearance in Boston begins a busy rest of the week for him, as both the Harris and Trump campaigns prepare for the fall stretch. Mr. Walz will travel to Georgia later on Wednesday to begin a bus tour with Ms. Harris, and then he will attend fund-raisers in Raleigh, N.C., and the Washington metro area later in the week. On Thursday, CNN will air an interview with the pair, Ms. Harris’s first sit-down interview since beginning her presidential bid.

The Harris campaign hopes Mr. Walz, a former teacher and union member, can be a key conduit to working-class voters, as well as to rural white voters in the Midwest.

His first solo campaign event was an appearance before another union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, this month in Los Angeles.

Republicans, meanwhile, are working to attack Mr. Walz’s credibility, arguing that he has lied or overstated various aspects of his biography, including his military service record .

Previewing the Donald Trump-Kamala Harris debate, Walz said that “she’s going to hold him accountable on the debate stage.” He added: “Tell me you’re not looking forward to that. It’s going to be good.” He just wrapped up his speech after just over 15 minutes.

Notably, Walz has not — at least so far — repeated the false claim he made in Los Angeles that he was the first union member on a presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan. (Donald Trump was a member of the Screen Actors Guild until 2021, when he resigned after the union threatened to expel him following the Jan. 6 insurrection.)

Walz is onstage now. He’s clearly very comfortable speaking to organized labor, based on his demeanor at this appearance and at his stop at a union convention in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. He’s talking about pensions and eulogizing a deceased Minnesota fire captain.

Gov. Tim Walz is set to address the International Association of Fire Fighters here in Boston momentarily, his second solo campaign event at a union gathering in recent weeks. The Harris campaign hopes Walz, a former teacher and union member, can be a conduit to working-class voters.

The Harris campaign released a new ad on Wednesday about Project 2025, the right-wing policy blueprint drawn up by allies of former President Donald J. Trump that Democrats have tried to use as a political cudgel against him. The ad says that Trump is out for “complete control” and that Project 2025 is a road map for making Trump “the most powerful president ever.”

The ad is part of a $370 million media blitz that the Harris campaign is financing in battleground states through Election Day. But it will also run in the Florida media market that includes Palm Beach, where Trump lives — apparently so the former president is sure to see the ad on his TV.

Democrats have begun a highly targeted messaging campaign up and down the Pennsylvania ballot.

The Pennsylvania Democratic Party began a program Wednesday to give locally tailored messaging to canvassers across the state, for candidates from the Harris-Walz ticket down to school boards.

The party said it was the largest and most coordinated campaign it had conducted in Pennsylvania.

Canvassers will have highly targeted talking points. In a town where conservatives control the school board, the focus might be on book bans; in a rural county without good internet access, it might be on broadband funding from the infrastructure bill President Biden signed; in Pittsburgh, where a bridge collapsed in 2022, it might be on funding for road repairs.

The canvassers will also have campaign literature to give out, tailored to each of the state’s 67 counties and 203 State House districts, or even smaller areas. Each piece of literature — there are 395 in all — will have a QR code leading to a list of every candidate on local ballots and to voting information like polling locations that can be updated daily if details change.

The state party is spending at least $500,000 on the effort, called Vote Local PA.

The program is an acknowledgment of Pennsylvania’s central role this year. Its 19 electoral votes could tip the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump. The re-election campaign of Senator Bob Casey, a Democrat, could decide control of the Senate. At least four House races are competitive, and both chambers of the divided state legislature could flip.

But Vote Local PA is also an attempt to address a serious vulnerability for Democrats: the extent to which their base has consolidated toward cities. Though the party has gained ground in the suburbs, it has hemorrhaged support in exurban and rural areas, forcing it to rely more on high turnout and overwhelming margins in its strongholds.

Mitch Kates, the executive director of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, described Vote Local PA as a rejection of concentrating efforts in Democratic counties and an effort to narrow loss margins elsewhere. Losing a Republican county by 25 points instead of 30 could matter in a statewide race.

“This program isn’t the solution, but it’s certainly a weapon in the arsenal of being able to fight the good fight in every single county,” Mr. Kates said. “We are giving our people the tools and resources they need to effectively have conversations with their neighbors.”

In past elections, said Lori McFarland, the chairwoman of the Lehigh County Democratic Committee, she would stuff literature for each local candidate into bags that she suspected voters threw away instantly. Her team will now have single cards for each of seven State House districts within the congressional district covering Lehigh County, which is represented by the vulnerable Democratic incumbent Susan Wild.

Judy Hines, the vice chair of the Democratic Party of Mercer County — a rural area between Pittsburgh and Erie — said the increased coordination among campaigns, and between the county and state parties, felt “like in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ when it’s black and white and it goes into color.”

Maya King and Nicholas Nehamas

Maya King reported from Atlanta, and Nicholas Nehamas reported from Washington.

Harris and Walz point their campaign bus to rural Georgia.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, seeking to build Democrats’ momentum in the Sun Belt, will campaign on Wednesday in the rural counties of southeast Georgia before holding a rally on Thursday in Savannah.

Democrats outside the party’s Metro Atlanta engine have long complained that focusing on the capital city, where a majority of Democratic voters in the state live, ignores pockets of supporters in less populous areas. Organizers have emphasized the particular need to engage voters in rural South Georgia and the state’s mountainous northern regions — both heavily conservative parts of the state that will still require high turnout from Black and moderate white voters to keep Democrats competitive.

A visit from the presidential ticket, some rural Democrats say, shows that top party leaders heeded their calls.

“A little does a lot in rural areas,” said Melissa Clink, the former chair of the Democratic Party in Forsyth County, north of the Atlanta suburbs. “If we can get some face time with, especially, the top of the ticket, then not only does that help donors open up their wallets to fund get-out-the-vote operations on the ground but it also inspires more people to do more work because they feel seen.”

The Georgia bus tour is similar to a campaign trip that Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz took to a conservative-leaning county outside Pittsburgh this month. Like South Georgia, Democrats in western Pennsylvania have also said their voters were being unwisely ignored by presidential campaigns. On their tour, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz made sure to highlight the diversity of the area, engaging with residents in Aliquippa, a former steel town that has a large Black population, where they spent time with a high school football team alongside the former Pittsburgh Steelers star Jerome Bettis. (Mr. Walz is a former high school football coach, which might also play well in Georgia.)

More broadly, Democrats hope Mr. Walz — who flipped a largely rural and more conservative House district in southern Minnesota in 2006 — can help stem their losses with rural and white working-class voters, especially men, who have grown increasingly hostile to their party. He has worked to present a more caring version of masculinity that contrasts with the brash aggressiveness of Mr. Trump.

His party knows it cannot hope to win those rural voters outright. But in what is expected to be a tight election, Democrats are aiming to keep their margins manageable outside the cities and suburbs, something Joseph R. Biden Jr. accomplished during his 2020 campaign. Ms. Harris has made few gains with white men since taking over the ticket.

The Harris campaign says it has invested heavily in rural Georgia, hiring nearly 50 staff members across seven offices, in places including the small cities of Valdosta and Albany close to the Florida line and rural towns like Millen and Cordele, which calls itself the watermelon capital of the world .

Polling shows that Ms. Harris has made Georgia competitive , after it seemed to be slipping out of reach for Mr. Biden. And Mr. Trump has devoted a significant chunk of his advertising budget to the state, suggesting his team also sees the state as being back in play.

In Savannah, where Ms. Harris will hold a rally on Thursday, Democrats are hoping her visit will reignite energy in a city that is home to the second-largest cluster of blue votes in the state.

“Love is an action word — you show people first by your presence,” said Van Johnson, the mayor of Savannah, who has lobbied the Biden and Harris campaigns to campaign in the city for months since Ms. Harris visited in February. “Her presence is going to really be indicative of that esteem she has for our community.”

‘A terrible president’: 12 times Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized Trump.

The alliance between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former President Donald J. Trump, which was fortified on Tuesday with Mr. Kennedy’s appointment to Mr. Trump’s transition team, is a sharp turnabout in a long-combative relationship.

Mr. Kennedy had spent the better part of a decade lobbing attacks at Mr. Trump, portraying him as a buffoonish, anti-democratic bully who led a feckless administration.

“In many ways, he’s discredited the American experiment with self-governance,” Mr. Kennedy said of Mr. Trump in early 2020 .

Mr. Kennedy set aside his criticisms when he suspended his long-shot independent presidential campaign last Friday, saying that he was backing Mr. Trump because he was “choosing to believe” that “this time” Mr. Trump would bring him into his administration — something that did not happen for Mr. Kennedy the last time around, after they met in 2017. Mr. Kennedy, reached for comment, pointed to the remarks he made Friday.

Mr. Kennedy acknowledged Friday that he and the former president “don’t agree on everything.” But he said that they had found common ground on certain issues, and he took a different, far more positive tone in front of a cheering crowd of Trump supporters in Glendale, Ariz.

“Don’t you want a president who’s going to protect America’s freedoms, and who’s going to protect us against totalitarianism?” Mr. Kennedy asked on Friday.

Six years earlier, he had accused Mr. Trump of “systematically” supporting totalitarian governments around the world.

Here’s a look back at 12 times Mr. Kennedy ridiculed Mr. Trump and his policies.

July 2, 2024

“Donald Trump was a terrible president”

In an appearance on the “Breaking Points” podcast after the debate between Mr. Trump and President Biden, Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump had turned the “government over to corporate pirates” during his presidency.

In calling Mr. Trump a “terrible president,” Mr. Kennedy argued that he had made some compelling promises but had not followed through on them. “I don’t think he’s capable of meeting the expectations and fulfilling the promises that he raises with his rhetoric.”

June 19, 2024

“Absurd and terrifying”

Mr. Kennedy said on social media that Mr. Trump had an “imperial plan” for American foreign policy.

“It is not an ‘America First’ strategy, nor will it make America great,” Mr. Kennedy wrote, calling the former president’s policies “absurd and terrifying.”

June 13, 2024

“He spent more money than all presidents”

Mr. Kennedy regularly targeted Mr. Trump’s stewardship of the economy, highlighting significant increases in the national debt between 2017 and 2021. He described the risk of further growth in the debt as “existential.”

“President Trump ran up $8 trillion — more money than every president in United States history from George Washington to George Bush,” Mr. Kennedy said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” (A calculation by the liberal Urban Institute in Washington found that deficit growth under Mr. Trump was the third-highest in U.S. history when measured as a share of the economy, behind increases under Mr. Bush and Abraham Lincoln.)

June 11, 2024

“A weakness for swamp creatures”

During his campaign, Mr. Kennedy repeatedly suggested that Mr. Trump presided over a corrupt administration.

“Despite rhetoric to the contrary, President Trump has a weakness for swamp creatures, especially corporate monopolies, their lobbyists, and their money,” Mr. Kennedy wrote on social media in June. “After promising to drain the swamp, instead, he hired swamp creatures to regulate their own industries.”

May 24, 2024

“He didn’t stand up for the Constitution”

Addressing the Libertarian National Convention , Mr. Kennedy chastised Mr. Trump over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, saying that he had presided over lockdowns that produced the “greatest restriction on individual liberties this country has ever known."

“He didn’t stand up for the Constitution when it really mattered,” Mr. Kennedy said.

April 27, 2024

“A barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims”

Pushing to debate Mr. Trump in the spring, Mr. Kennedy unloaded on the former president , who had claimed that Democrats had planted Mr. Kennedy in the race to help their party.

“When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” Mr. Kennedy wrote on social media . “President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims.”

April 1, 2024

“Appalling”

Appearing on CNN, Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump’s efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election were “appalling.”

“I’m not going to defend President Trump on that,” Mr. Kennedy said. He added: “There’s many things that President Trump has done that are appalling.”

Jan. 14, 2020

“He’s a bully”

Early in the 2020 election cycle, Mr. Kennedy told Yahoo Finance that Mr. Trump had “discredited” American democracy, calling him a “bully.”

“He’s a bully, and I don’t like bullies,” Mr. Kennedy said. “And I don’t think that that’s part of American tradition.”

May 17, 2018

“Buffoonery at a high level”

At a conference in Philadelphia a little over a year into Mr. Trump’s presidency, Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump was severely damaging the United States’ reputation abroad — and also bruising the idea of democracy itself.

“If you live in China today, and you’re looking at what’s happening in the United States, why would you ever say, we want to switch our system for that system, which can produce that kind of buffoonery at a high level?” Mr. Kennedy asked.

Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump was “purposefully and systematically” supporting “tyrannical” governance by other world leaders. “He is also encouraging it by the example of what a disaster democracy’s become,” Mr. Kennedy added.

Aug. 15, 2017

“I don’t like President Trump’s environmental policies”

In an interview with the science and medical news website Stat early in the Trump presidency, Mr. Kennedy said: “I don’t like President Trump’s environmental policies, and I would not endorse them.”

“I would say that President Trump’s administration is essentially destroying 30 years of my work on environmental issues,” said Mr. Kennedy, who began to work on efforts to preserve the environment the 1980s.

Still, Mr. Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, said in the interview that he had engaged in talks with the Trump White House about vaccine safety.

Aug. 5, 2016

“It’s scary”

Mr. Kennedy used those two words to describe Mr. Trump’s political rise, three months before Mr. Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

In an interview with Larry King, Mr. Kennedy said that he was squarely behind Mrs. Clinton and that Mr. Trump was tapping into an “atavistic urge for a leader who is kind of a man on horseback who’s decisive, who’s violent.” He added: “It’s scary.”

March 15, 2005

“We need some positive role models”

More than a decade before Mr. Trump rode down the golden Trump Tower escalator and into presidential politics, Mr. Kennedy had publicly criticized the New York real estate mogul.

In an interview with The Boston Globe, Mr. Kennedy cast Mr. Trump’s flashy life as a poor example for Americans to follow.

“At this point we’re being sold role models like Donald Trump — television is saying this is a guy that we ought to be apprenticing for and modeling our lives after,” Mr. Kennedy told The Globe. “I think we need some positive role models as well, that stress what’s important about life — that we’re not just materialistic beings, we are spiritual beings as well.”

Tour de France targets new audiences with TikTok partnership

Cycling grand tour joins tiktok's stable of sports partnerships..

Tour de France organisers the Amaury Sport Organisation (ASO) are partnering with algorithmic social video network TikTok that will see official and user-generated content used to reach new fans at home and abroad.  

• TikTok will be designed an ‘official supplier’ for the 2023 editions of both the men’s and women’s tours
• The platform will be used to highlight content from the races and reach a more global, youthful audience
• Each stage will be used to highlight local creators across France and Spain

TikTok is an increasingly important digital channel for the industry, with major brands and rights holders establishing official presences on the platform. TikTok has entered into formal partnerships with several major properties as it seeks to grow the amount of official and user-generated content on its network.

The Tour de France is a sporting institution in France and enjoys blanket media coverage on traditional media. Digital initiatives such as this, and the official Unchained Netflix docuseries, are designed to deepen and expand this fandom.

“The uniqueness of the content offered by TikTok is a perfect match for the Tour de France’s ambition: to make the event known everywhere, to everyone and with the spontaneous and creative eye of fans,” said Julien Goupil, media and partnerships director at the ASO. “The content created at the roadside will enhance existing coverage and bring the public together around the event even more widely.”

The Tour de France starts on 1 st July and concludes with a final stage on the Champs Elysees on 23 rd July that coincides with the start of the week-long Tour de France Femmes with Zwift.

Le bob, l'autre star du Tour de France

"Légendaire", "unique"… Non, ces fans de vélo ne parlent ni de Tadej Pogacar , ni de Jonas Vingegaard. Ils parlent d’une autre star de cette Grande Boucle 2024, le bob . Impossible d'y échapper . Il est vissé sur la tête d’une bonne partie des spectateurs qui bordent les routes depuis le départ le 29 juin. Le couvre-chef est devenu indissociable de l’image du Tour de France.

Et il y en a un qui se démarque plus que les autres, c’est le bob Cochonou. "C’est le Graal de la caravane du Tour de France. Tout le monde en veut un", s’exclame un fan, le bob aux carreaux vichy, sur la tête.

>> Revivez la 12e étape du Tour de France

"Il est très visible, notamment à la télé"

Si le couvre-chef de la marque française de saucisson est celui qui reste le plus prisé, de nombreuses enseignes s’y sont mises à l’image Skoda. La célèbre marque de voitures compte en écouler plus de 300.000 cette année: "C’est notre best seller, notre goodies incontournable", confirme l’une de ses responsables.

"On a augmenté les quantités par rapport à l’année dernière parce qu’on se rend compte que les gens veulent le bob, demandent le bob. Il est très visible, notamment à la télé.

It Finally Happened. Le Tour is on Le TikTok

Get ready to meme like the race depends on it.

This year’s Tour de France will be meme’d like it's never been meme’d before. TikTok and the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes announced an official partnership that promises “refreshing and sometimes off-the-wall formats, stories and perspectives.” As if the Netflix special wasn’t enough...

But seriously, it’s pretty great news to hear that Le Tour is looking for ways to reach a wider, likely younger fan base, and through a platform that’s free to fans. While full stages will still be behind paywalls on NBC and Peacock, fans can now catch highlight moments and behind the scenes footage on the popular video app.

In a press release, TikTok noted that content would start coming out on July 1, so make sure you’re checking the app this weekend to see what they’re coming up with. According to the press release, TikTok creators will bring a new point of view and perspective to the Tour, showcasing their love for the sport and their creativity through their own video creations.

As they noted, using TikTok for Tour content is an “opportunity for everyone to experience the passion and dedication of extraordinary male and female riders, to inspire the next generation of cyclists and to share our collective love and passion for the sport.” (It’s worth applauding the platform for normalizing the inclusion of the Tour de France Femmes in all of the coverage—they don’t seem to think that it’s surprising or ground-breaking that women’s coverage would also happen.)

“The uniqueness of the content offered by TikTok is a perfect match for the Tour de France’s ambition: to make the event known everywhere, to everyone and with the spontaneous and creative eye of fans,” said Julien Goupil, Media and partnerships director at the Tour’s parent organization A.S.O. “The content created at the roadside will enhance existing coverage and bring the public together around the event even more widely.”

There will also be a tourism component as well: According to A.S.O, each stage of the Tour will be a “golden opportunity to put the spotlight on local TikTok creators and the rich tapestry of landscapes that set the backdrop for these two events.” (Hopefully including some wine, baguette and cheese recommendations in addition to notes on the cycling terrain.)

Much of the content can be found on the Tour’s TikTok page (@LeTourDeFrance) or by checking the dedicated #tourdefrance search page.

Now, there’s only one problem for all of us longtime cycling journalists... figuring out how the heck to get onto TikTok to start watching the Tour action there. Or maybe we’ll just wait for the good stuff to get reposted to Instagram.

Bob Jungels bounced back from three years of hiccups with his first stage victory at the Tour de France after a 60-km long solo breakaway after he escaped from a breakaway group formed at the initiative of Thibaut Pinot.

The Frenchman fought hard behind the AG2R-Citroën rider but didn’t managed to bridge the gap before the top of Pas de Morgins. Jungels is the first Luxembourger to win a Tour de France stage since Andy Schleck atop the Galibier in 2011. Fifth on the line and first of the GC favourites, Tadej Pogacar retained the yellow jersey.

21 RIDERS IN THE LEAD

165 riders started stage 9 in Aigle at 12.46. 3 non-starters: Guillaume Martin (Cofidis), Kasper Asgreen (Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl) and Ruben Guerreiro (EF Education-Easypost). Philippe Gilbert (Lotto-Soudal) was the first attacker right after the flag off but the first rider who managed to go clear was Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) at km 13. A crashed affected Neilson Powless (EF Education-Easypost) and Michael Woods (Israel-Premier Tech). The peloton kept riding hard until the first breakaway of the day took shape at km 44, with 15 riders in the lead: Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe), Warren Barguil (Arkea-Salsic), Rigoberto Uran (EF Education-Easypost), Jonathan Castroviejo (Ineos Grenadier), Bob Jungels (AG2R-Citroën), Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels-KTM), Carlos Verona (Movistar), Simon Geschke (Cofidis), Luisle Sanchez (Bahrain-Victorious), Kobe Goossens (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert), Joe Dombrowski (Astana), Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo), Guy Niv and Hugo Houle (Israel-Premier Tech). They were joined at km 53 by Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates), Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies), Nils Politt (Bora-Hansgrohe), Ion Izagirre (Cofidis) and Benoît Cosnefroy (AG2R-Citroën).

BOB JUNGELS ALONE AFTER COL DE LA CROIX Van Aert took 20 more points in the points classification at the intermediate sprint. Uran briefly became the virtual yellow jersey in the ascent to col des Mosses when the time difference reached 3’24’’ with 95km to go. But UAE Team Emirates maintained the gap around three minutes for most of the race. Latour passed col des Mosses (km 108.5) in first position. Geschke crested col de la Croix in front of Jungels who had attacked 3km before the summit. Jungels rode Geschke off in the downhill and got an advantage of 1’ for himself over a chasing group of 13 riders with 40km to go. His lead increased to 1’30’’ with 30km remaining and 2’ at the foot of Pas de Morgins.

THE SPECTACULAR BUT VAIN CHASE BY THIBAUT PINOT Pinot rode solo behind Jungels inside the 20km to go. He was timed at 20’’ with 3km left before the summit while Castroviejo and Verona were chasing hard with less than one minute deficit from the lone leader. Jungels remained composed to keep an advantage of around 30’’ over the Frenchman who got a huge support from the crowd but never managed to close the gap. Jungels took the win in Châtel while Castroviejo and Verona overhauled Pinot in the last kilometre to round out the stage podium. Pogacar won the sprint of the favourites’ group to comfortably retain the yellow jersey.

Home / News / Bob Jungels wins the 9th stage of the Tour de France

BOB JUNGELS: "It's incredible

"This is amazing! I don't know what to say. Winning a stage in the Tour de France was a dream after the last few years of hard work. I'm very happy for me but also for the team. I know it means a lot to them. The last kilometers were very long but I knew that the victory was close and that I had to stay focused. Today I took all the risks and it paid off. I am very grateful to the AG2R CITROËN team and to all those who have believed in me over the last few months. I'm back to my best and it feels really good.

VINCENT LAVENU: "An immense happiness

"It's a great joy after a very difficult start to the Tour de France with the misfortunes of Ben O'Connor and Geoffrey Bouchard. Bob is a great champion and he raced like he knows how. In the last few months, he has returned to his former level. We needed this to boost the whole team and to validate the work of all our staff and partners. This is the AG2R CITROËN team's 21st victory in the Tour de France and these are always exceptional moments to be experienced with great emotion. You have to appreciate and enjoy them. This victory after a solo raid of more than 60 kilometers will go down in the team's history."

BRUNO ANGLES Managing Director of AG2R LA MONDIAL

"On behalf of the directors and employees of AG2R LA MONDIALE, I would like to congratulate Bob Jungels and our entire team for this magnificent performance and for the intense emotions we experienced throughout this fantastic stage! We are extremely proud that our riders carry our values of solidarity and performance so high. We all follow each stage with great fervor and we hope that this victory will call for others. "We're not giving up!"

VINCENT COBEE, CEO of CITROËN

"Bob Jungels put in an exceptional performance, winning with panache and courage after a solo breakaway of more than 60km. His return to the highest level after a difficult 2021 season illustrates his resilience, worthy of a great champion. This victory is a great source of pride for all of us and I warmly congratulate Bob Jungels and Vincent Lavenu on behalf of the men and women of CITROËN. This great victory shows how strong the fighting spirit and the desire to win remain within the team, and we are at their side to support them.

For the third year in a row, the AG2R CITROËN team is raising its arms in the Tour de France. Nans Peters won stage 8 in 2020 and Ben O'Connor won stage 9 in 2021. This is the sixth victory for the AG2R CITROËN team in 2022. Ben O'Connor won the third stage of the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya and the Tour du Jura, Marc Sarreau won Cholet-Pays de la Loire, Geoffrey Bouchard raised his arms in the first stage of the Tour of the Alps and Bob Jungels became Luxembourg individual time trial champion. This is the team's 498th victory since its creation in 1992.

Aurélien Paret-Peintre and Bob Jungels 13th and 16th overall

After nine stages, Aurélien Paret-Peintre and Bob Jungels are 13th and 16th overall. Bob Jungels is 2nd in the best climber classification.

Anatomy of a Sportscaster

With Lance Armstrong's retirement and a dark cloud hanging over Floyd Landis, some people might think there's no reason to watch this year's Tour de France, which kicked off in the very un-France-like location of London, England, on Saturday. Evidently, those people have never heard Bob Roll do color commentary.

Cycling fans and brave souls willing to venture into the triple-digit cable channel badlands already know about Roll, who has been teaming up with British cyclists-turned-commentators Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen, to cover the 22-day race for the Versus network since 2001. Of course, to call what Roll adds to the Versus broadcasts mere "color" is to undervalue the visible spectrum -- as you can see in the video below, he is a relentless presence, his words punctuated with wild hand gestures and loaded with clichés.

Bob Roll in a commercial for Trek bicycles.

See, Roll's appeal can be distilled down to one singular trait: He is positively terrible, a man whose mouth has no filter and whose body showcases more physical tics than a bloodhound lost in the woods. But he is so terrible -- so unprofessional, so individual, so bewildering -- that he's become one of the funniest and most authentic color men working today.

In a world where heads talk and hands sit still, Roll -- whose nickname is "Bobke" -- is a man who has taken gesticulation to an epic extreme, regularly unleashing the kinds of two-handed double-clutches, power points, and fist pumps reserved for 30-foot putts. These moves aren't a calculated effort to draw attention to an obscure sport, however -- they're a happy accident, built from a lack of former training and a trip abroad.

"I didn't really use my hands to talk until I lived in Italy," Roll says. "There's no rhyme or reason to their expressiveness," he says, adding later, "I've used many clichés as a commentator, but I've gotten tired of them. So, I use my gestures to keep new clichés coming."

"That [last quote] is just another way of saying the fans are going crazy," Roll says. "Fans get a little carried away on the mountainsides. Especially Basque fans. Thank God they don't have anyone to root for or else there'd be real chaos."

But that explanation hardly gets to the real inspiration behind a good Rollism.

"I have always said them," Roll says. "My friends know them, the guys I ride with in the peleton. On TV, what seems to me like a conversation between a few people goes out to a broad group. It's a little disconcerting. It's odd to meet people on the street you've never met talking about things you've said."

Paired with two British cyclists, Roll believes his job in the booth is to provide the American story in the Tour, a role that he clearly relishes, purposely mangling French words and even the Tour's name. (Out of Roll's mouth, it's the "Tour Day Frants.") Consider it an act of rebellion against the tyranny of European restaurant staffers.

"On Tour," says Roll, a former professional cyclist and member of the original 7-Eleven cycling team, "no matter how perfectly you spoke French, [French waiters] pretended like they didn't understand you. That got old real fast. To get revenge, I decided to mispronounce as many French words as I could. Then I got to doing it all the time. The class system is still really prevalent here. And [the language] is a little pretentious..." Roll says a French phrase, which sounds dead-on. "That sounds pretentious -- it doesn't add to that American commentary idea."

With an American team that seems unlikely to carry on the winning legacy left by Greg LeMond and Lance Armstrong, Bob Roll could be the only reason to watch the Tour de France for the next couple decades. "If another American wins the Tour in the next ten to twenty years, that'll be pretty surprising," Roll says. "I have my doubts for the sport. The sport is going to have a tough time flourishing. It'll need another superstar."

Or maybe it already has one, gesticulating wildly in the nether regions of your cable box, covering a sport few Americans understand and even fewer participate in. Perhaps Bob Roll is the American superstar the sport's been waiting for all along.

Peacock Tour de France broadcaster Bob Roll dropped hot mic f-bomb on fan invasion of commentator area

"There was an overzealous spectator trying to get into the commentators' section a minute ago. I had to wave them off with some emphatic language."

Over the years, there have been plenty of cases of profane broadcaster comments picked up on unknowingly-hot mics. There have also been several cases of fans trying to invade spaces set aside for commentators. And those things came together on the Peacock broadcast of the 16th stage of the Tour de France Tuesday, where broadcaster Bob Roll dropped quite the line on a fan who tried to invade the commentators’ space.

Ooops Bob Roll. pic.twitter.com/XyZ6Ecde7X — Kevin P Kiddle (@KKevin562) July 16, 2024

The “What the h— do you think you’re doing? What the f—?” from Roll there is certainly an unusual choice to say on the air. But, as with many of these hot-mic incidents, he doesn’t seem to have been aware that his comments were in fact being broadcast. And it is understandable why Roll would be upset about the fan’s behavior here. It’s also worth noting that Roll offered an on-air apology shortly after this (at the 1:14 mark):

What happened here? pic.twitter.com/bSACg4zFgW — The Comeback NFL (@TheComebackNFL) July 16, 2024

“Apologies for the recent language, there was an overzealous spectator trying to get into the commentators’ section a minute ago. I had to wave them off with some emphatic language. I apologize profusely.”

As always, it’s worth remembering that the cursing here is far from a Federal Communications Commission issue. Expletives sometimes get complaints on broadcast networks, and (on a much smaller scale) on cable networks.

But the FCC’s own guidelines note that “Because obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment, it is prohibited on cable, satellite and broadcast TV and radio. However, the same rules for indecency and profanity do not apply to cable, satellite TV and satellite radio because they are subscription services.” And streaming expletives in particular are not an area the FCC has often weighed in on.

Despite that, though, most streaming broadcasters don’t want their commentators offering expletives. And that’s part of why Roll (a famed cyclist who’s been working as a NBC cycling analyst since 2012 ) offered the on-air apology here. And this isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it is interesting to see that on-air expletive and subsequent apology.

Over 8 million people have watched this TikTok video of a ‘Tour de France’ horse incident

A video has surfaced online of a horse galloping through the peloton at a bike race, and has been watched by over eight million people in under 24 hours. 

Shared on Tuesday afternoon on X , the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, the archive footage shows a silky brown horse leap over a fence, out of its paddock, and into the fast-moving bunch. 

It then careers through to the front of the group to lead the race.

“What extraordinary images,” the French commentary says. “This is a safety problem for the riders. They’ll have to really watch out.”

Although originally thought to have taken place at the Tour de France , the incident is actually from the 1997 Critérium International, a three-stage race held in the south of France. 

The horse’s cameo came on stage one, and was later remembered by sprinter Frédéric Moncassin in poetic detail. “When it jumped and landed on the road, it was impressive, the sound of the hooves, the sparks, the horse's breath,” the Frenchman told La Dépêche du Midi .

So spellbinding was the sight that, four years later, the film director Jean-Pierre Jeunet inserted the footage into his movie Amélie , now a cult classic in French cinema. 

The stage was eventually won by Frenchman Stéphane Barthe, after the commissaires temporarily neutralised the race. 

In the years that have followed, a several other farm animals have found celebrity with appearances in bike races. 

At the 2011 Critérium du Dauphiné , Mikel Landa crashed at speed into a cow traipsing on the course. The Spaniard, then of Euskaltel-Euskadi, broke his collarbone and had to abandon the race. 

In 2017, on stage six of the Tour of Poland, an untethered pony nestled itself in the peloton and ran through a village, before it was marshalled to the side of the road by a rider. 

An incident also arose earlier this year in the women’s race at this year’s Strade Bianche . En route to Siena, a horse - similar in appearance to the one from the 1997 Critérium International - emerged in front of SD Worx's Demi Vollering, causing the Dutchwoman to shriek loudly. 

The errant horse led the race for a kilometre or so, before it slid out on a lefthand gravel bend and tumbled off the road. 

“Zlatana is fine,” the horse’s owner wrote on Facebook after the event. “A few days of antibiotics, a lot of fear, but in the end everything ended well.” 

Farm animal sightings have even come as recent as this week. On Monday, a cow chased the peloton in San Carlos, Costa Rica, with the incident caught on film from the race convoy.
