AMNA NAWAZ: Welcome to the "News Hour."

Both presidential candidates brought# their campaigns to the Southwest today.## Former President Donald Trump stopped in New# Mexico, a detour from battleground territory,## while Vice President Kamala# Harris jetted off to Arizona.

But, before she left, Harris spoke# with reporters about what's on the## line on Election Day just five days out.

Laura Barron-Lopez begins our# coverage with this report.

KAMALA HARRIS, Vice President of the United# States (D) and U.S. Presidential Candidate: Among## the stakes in this election are whether we# continue with the .. LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: In# between campaign stops today,## Kamala Harris warned that health care# is on the ballot, following a vow from## House Speaker Mike Johnson for -- quote --# "massive reform" if Donald Trump is elected.

KAMALA HARRIS: And now we have further# validation of that agenda from his supporter,## the speaker of the House.

The American people,## regardless of who they're voting for, know# the importance of the Affordable Care Act,## of, as it's also called, Obamacare, in terms# of expanding people's coverage to health care.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: In leaked video# obtained by multiple outlets, Johnson## echoed an audience member, saying -- quote -- "No# Obamacare" and that changes needed to be made.

Later, he walked it back, rejecting# that he wants to gut the popular law,## even though Trump himself has repeatedly said# he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

It comes as both campaigns battle for votes# in the Southwest, Harris in Phoenix, Arizona.

KAMALA HARRIS: We have an opportunity to turn the# page on a decade of Donald Trump trying to keep## us divided and afraid of each other.

We're# done with that.

We're exhausted with that.

DONALD TRUMP, Former President (R) and Current U...

Candidate: I said, look, your#votes are rigged.

We ... LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: And Trump in not# so-far-away Albuquerque, New Mexico.

DONALD TRUMP: If we could bring God# down from heaven, and he could be## the vote counter, we would win this.

We'd# win California.

We'd win a lot of states.

DONALD TRUMP: You just got# to keep the votes honest.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Last night, Trump# touched down in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

Wearing a reflective orange vest, he approached# a MAGA-themed garbage truck.

The 78-year-old## appeared to stumble twice as he reached# for the handle.

From the passenger seat... DONALD TRUMP: This truck is in# honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: ... Trump played up an# off-script comment made by President Joe Biden,## where Biden appeared to say Trump# supporters are -- quote -- "garbage.

"## President Biden quickly clarified he# was referring to a comedian who made## a racist joke about Puerto Ricans at# Trump's Madison Square Garden rally.

Trump himself regularly calls Democrats# enemies from within and repeatedly## refers to the United States as the --# quote -- "garbage can of the world."

The theatrics didn't stop at the tarmac.

DONALD TRUMP: I'm president.

I want to# protect the women of our country.

They## said -- they said, sir, I just think# it's inappropriate for you to say.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: During his rally last# night, against the apparent advice of his team,## Trump insisted his policies would --# quote -- "protect American women," a## pledge he's made before.

But, this time, he added: DONALD TRUMP: I'm going to do it# whether the women like it or not.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Harris# responded earlier today.

KAMALA HARRIS: It's just -- it actually is,# I think, very offensive to women in terms## of not understanding their agency, their# authority, their right and their ability## to make decisions about their own lives,# including their own bodies.

And this is## just the latest on a series of reveals by the# former president of how he thinks about women.

GOV.

TIM WALZ (D-MN), Vice Presidential# Candidate: It's this simple.

We trust women.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: In Pennsylvania,# Harris' running mate, Governor Tim Walz,## also seized on the remark.

GOV.

TIM WALZ: They are going to send a loud# and clear message to Donald Trump on November 5.

GOV.

TIM WALZ: They're going to send# that message whether he likes it or not.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Meanwhile, in a# roughly three-hour conversation with## podcaster Joe Rogan, Trump's# running mate, J.D.

Vance,## said abortion restrictions should be left to# the states.

And he suggested that white kids## are pretending to be transgender in# order to get into Ivy League schools.

SEN. J.D.

VANCE (R-OH), Vice Presidential# Candidate: Like, obviously, that pathway## has become a lot harder for a lot of# upper-middle-class kids... way that those people can participate in the# DEI bureaucracy in this country is to be trans.

And is there a dynamic that's# going on where if you become trans,## that is the way to reject your white privilege?

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Other members of Trump's# inner circle are also making headlines.

KAITLAN COLLINS, CNN Host:# Neither of us are doctors.

HOWARD LUTNICK, Co-Chair, Trump/Vance# Transi.. KAITLAN COLLINS:.. LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: On CNN# last night, Howard Lutnick,## tapped as co-chair of Trump's transition team,# was asked whether or not RFK Jr. fits into a## potential Trump administration.

That prompted# him to go on a baseless anti-vaccine rant.

HOWARD LUTNICK: Why do you think# vaccines are safe?

There's no## product liability anymore.

They're not proven.

KAITLAN COLLINS: Kids get them and they're fine.

HOWARD LUTNICK: Why do you think# they're fine?

We all know so many## more people with autism than had# it when we were young.

Oh, come on.

LAURA BARRON-LOPEZ: Tonight, both# candidates head to battleground,## Nevada as voters there file into the polls.
