‘DJ Trump’: Trump town hall turns into impromptu concert after medical incidents

Donald Trump's town hall in the Philadelphia suburbs turned into an impromptu concert on Monday after the former president was twice interrupted by medical emergencies in the room.

As Donald Trump and Kamala Harris feverishly chase undecided voters in the final stretch of the US presidential campaign, millions of people in battleground states are being served ads on Facebook and Instagram from an obscure page calling itself "The Daily Scroll." The social media ads, which are adorned with a nondescript logo resembling a pair of checkmarks, have promoted news articles from mainstream outlets including CNN, ABC and NBC, showing easing US inflation, cheaper insulin prices, and the consequences of state abortion bans.
