With two weeks to go until the election, early voting is now in full swing in many states.

And that’s led to a fresh outbreak of fretting and nervousness among Democrats, writes John Bowden.

Democratic insiders are worrying that Vice President Kamala Harris’s grip on the so-called “blue wall” may be slipping, and with it, the election.

Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden got to the White House by winning Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, but three people with knowledge of the Harris campaign’s strategy have told NBC News that recent discussions have focused on the possibility that Michigan or Wisconsin may end up in Donald Trump’s win column.

If Harris doesn’t win both Wisconsin and Michigan, she has to pick up one or two other swing states to claim the presidency even if she wins Pennsylvania.

Here’s more from Gustaf Kilander.

The Pennsylvania McDonald’s restaurant where Trump worked the fryer for a campaign photo-op on Sunday has been inundated with fake reviews on Yelp in the wake of his stunt.

"Senile old man got bronzer on my fries, didn’t wear gloves,” one person joked, leaving a one-star rating.

“The fries were too salty as if someone who lost a major election had been crying over them for an hour,” another person jested.

The president made the controversial remark at the Democratic Party‘s headquarters in Concord, New Hampshire, on Tuesday as he warned that democracy hangs in the balance as Trump continues to close in on Kamala Harris in the polls.

“I know this sounds bizarre. If I said this five years ago, you’d lock me up,” Biden said, claiming that the Supreme Court’s July presidential immunity ruling would mean Trump, a convicted felon, could “eliminate” his enemies.

“We gotta lock him up,” he said to applause, before leaving a roughly five-second pause and then quickly backtracking.

“Politically, lock him up,” he clarified.

The New York congresswoman was not messing around here.

See now, if the Republican nominee didn’t stay up late and get up early posting nonsense like this online, he might be less exhausted and not have to cancel so many events.

Harris is a former California attorney general – how likely is it she thinks defunding the police is the answer to anything?

And why would anyone believe in “demoralizing” the police? What end would that serve?

And how would you even go about it – cruel name-calling? Taking their lunch money?

“I’m glad they’re bringing him out. The reason they’re bringing him out – because he doesn’t even want to do it. I think he’s exhausted,” Trump said yesterday of his predecessor, a full 15 years younger than him and having the time of his life on stage in Detroit with Eminem.

“I watched him talking. I think the guy’s exhausted.”

That unconvincing attack came just hours after the Republican had scrapped another campaign event, as we’ve just seen.

Rhian Lubin has more.

One event the Republican did not take part in yesterday was a planned appearance with Robert F Kennedy Jr and Tulsi Gabbard for a health-focused virtual town hall, with his team citing only “changes in Trump’s schedule”.

The switch-up is the latest in a series of cancelled or rescheduled appearances in recent days, which has fueled reports that the former president, 78, is becoming too “exhausted” to fully campaign in the tight race against Kamala Harris.

The Republican has backed out of planned interviews with CNBC’s Squawk Box, The Shade Room podcast and NBC.

The campaign has pushed back on this narrative, however, calling the exhaustion claim “unequivocally false.”
