2024 election updates: Harris, Trump continue campaign blitz with 5 days until Election Day

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, among the most well-known basketball players in the world, endorsed Harris in a social media post on Thursday.

A video accompanying the post opens with a clip of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's much-criticized jokes about Black people at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, and intersperses scenes of Trump speaking with footage from social justice marches in the past, as well as protests in 2020.

James does not appear in the video but wrote in the post, "What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!"

With just five days until Election Day, Trump kicked off his western swing at an unlikely stop in Albuquerque, where he spewed false and baseless claims about past election results as he claimed New Mexico is in play for him.

Trump claimed he won New Mexico in both of his previous presidential runs and that votes from New Mexico were "rigged" -- despite Hillary Clinton winning by more than 8 points in 2016 and President Joe Biden winning the state by more than 10 points in 2020.

"I'm only here for one reason. They all said, 'Don't come.' I said, 'Why?' 'You can't win.' I said, 'Look, your votes are rigged.' We can win New Mexico. We can win New Mexico," Trump said.

Trump claimed he can win states like New Mexico and California if his supporters can "keep the votes honest" and "keep the votes on us."

"So, you know, we almost won it twice. And let me tell you, I believe we won it twice. Okay?" he said. "You want to know the truth? And if you can watch your vote counter - if we could bring God down from heaven, he could be the vote counter, we would win this," Trump said.

Former New York City mayor and billionaire Michael Bloomberg revealed Thursday that he voted for Harris.

Bloomberg, who ran a failed presidential campaign during the 2020 Democratic primary, said in an X post that he voted for Harris "without hesitation."

"When it comes to policy and personal integrity, the contrast could not be clearer, and I hope undecided voters with a history of supporting candidates in both parties join me," Bloomberg, an independent voter and former Republican, said.

Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Nicky Jam has withdrawn his endorsement of Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election a month after appearing at a rally for the candidate.

Tony Hinchcliffe, a comic who called Puerto Rico "garbage" before a packed Trump rally in New York appears to be the catalyst.

"The reason why I supported Donald Trump was because I thought he was the best for the economy in the United States, where many Latinos live, many of us Latinos live, myself included, many immigrants who are suffering because of the economy and him, being a businessman, I thought it was the best move," Jam said in Spanish, in a video statement posted to his official Instagram page.

"Never in my life did I think that a month later a comedian was going to come to criticize my country and speak badly of my country and therefore, I renounce any support for Donald Trump, and I sidestep any political situation. Respect Puerto Rico, Nicky Jam."

A representative for Jam confirmed on Thursday that the singer had withdrawn his endorsement.
