Cardi B give passionate speech at Harris rally in Milwaukee as Trump suffers mic problems at nearby event: Live

The final Marist polls from the Blue Wall states has some good news for Kamala Harris.

The vice president is up 51/48 in Michigan against Donald Trump; 50/48 in Pennsylvania; and 50/48 in Wisconsin.

Marist last polled these states in September. Pennsylvania was tied, and Harris was up 50/49 in Wisconsin and 52/47 in Michigan.

There is also good news for the Democratic candidates in the three Senate races in those states.

John Bowden reports from Odenton, Maryland:

Thursday was the perfect weather to do some last-minute voter canvassing. Larry Hogan said he might just do that.

Maryland’s former two-term governor is in the home stretch of a Senate campaign which began only in February — a run, he says, that was born out of frustration over the inaction just a short drive away in Washington, particularly as the Senate this year failed to reach a compromise (once again) on border security and immigration reform.

He was outside of the Odenton library on Thursday with less than a week to go in the election, revving up a small crowd of volunteers who were greeting early voters. Hogan spoke to a handful of supporters and journalists on scene and projected confidence, remarking that in every race he’d run, “everyone has always counted us out, and we’ve always come out on top”.

A line for early voting stretched out the door and around the corner of the library behind him as he spoke.

Most Americans are anxious and frustrated, but also interested in the campaign for the White House as it enters its final days, according to a new poll.

While Democrats and Republicans largely have similar emotions about the upcoming showdown, Democrats are more likely to be anxious compared to their conservative counterparts, according to the AP-NORC poll.

Independents are equally frustrated but less excited, interested, and anxious.

Gustaf Kilander looks at the numbers.

Former president George W Bush will not make a presidential endorsement in the 2024 race for the White House, according to his office.

The 43rd president will not join his former vice president Dick Cheney, who said last week that he would vote for Democrat Kamala Harris over Republican Donald Trump.

Here’s Graeme Massie with what the former president decided:

It’s been a dramatic, high-stakes presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

The polls are neck-and-neck and analysts are reluctant to make a solid prediction for which candidate will win.

Now, the question many are asking is: When will the race be called?

Here’s Rhian Lubin to explain:

Donald Trump wants to “ununite” Russia and China after, he claims, Joe Biden united them...

He called Kamala Harris a “sleaze bag”:

Lied about his rally sizes:

Called Biden a “stupid bastard”:

White House officials were pressured into altering the transcript of a Joe Biden call in which he appeared to refer to Donald Trump supporters as “garbage,” according to a report by the Associated Press, citing two U.S. government officials and an internal email.

The president had been criticizing a comment by a comedian at Trump’s New York rally last weekend calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.”

He told a call with Latino supporters: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters [or supporter’s] — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

The comments caused a storm among conservatives.

Phil Thomas reports.

In Arizona, Donald Trump repeats the lie that the House January 6 select committee deleted all evidence and documents from their report on the events leading up to the Capitol riot.
