NORAH O’DONNELL: With just eight days to go before Election Day, both candidates are in battleground states tonight, as President. Vice President Kamala Harris is barnstorming across Michigan with three events, and former President Donald Trump is in Georgia. But tonight, there is fresh backlash against Trump's rally in New York City on Sunday, including for many top Republicans who are distancing themselves from the vile, racist, and sexist comments that were made. Tonight, CBS News has learned that the campaign claims they struck jokes that contained the C-word. We have new reporting tonight about that process, in addition to Trump's unusual ättacks on Vice President Harris, the rally featured a comedian who repeatedly insulted Puerto Rico, and today is refusing to apologize. Puerto Rico is an American island -- let me say that again. Puerto Ricans are American citizens and the island is a U.S. territory, and there are about 1 million Puerto Ricans living in battleground states where both candidates are vying for the Latino vote.
