Trump: Hannibal Lector. Silence of the lambs. Who the hell else would even remember that? I have a great memory. That is who we are allowing into our country. I do the weave. It's genius. You bring up Hannibal Lector, insane asylum

HOT MIC: Pennsylvania GOP Senate candidate Dave McCormick tells a voter in Clearfield that he's against the ACA provision to allow for children to be on their parents' health insurance plans until the age of 26.

Focusing for a moment on the POLICIES at play.
Voters were asked whether they supported 100 different policies, but weren't told whether the policy was from Trump or Harris.
