US elections: latest news you need to know in six points

Donald Trump predicted to gain a slight lead over Kamala Harris in the Economist’s election victory model for the first time in two months.

The weekly newspaper now projects that Trump has a 54 in 100 chance of winning the election, while his opponent comes out on top 45 times in 100.

The August edition of the model indicates that many undecided and third-party voters are leaning toward Harris, but with just 15 days until voting day, some of them now appear to be unsupportive of Trump, the poll suggests.

Trump’s chances of returning to the White House are now 8% higher than last Friday, according to Economist forecasts.

Meanwhile, anoda polling suggests that neither Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump have an advantage in the presidential race, a new poll suggests.

For the handful of swing states likely to determine the election, Harris and Trump tied at 47%, according to a Washington Post-Schar School poll.

The battleground states are Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

The poll suggests Trump is running strong and well for Arizona — a state Joe Biden won in 2020 — with a six-point lead among registered voters.

Harris gets her biggest margin – six points – for Georgia.

Biden’s surprise victory in Georgia in 2020 was the first for a Democrat in decades. In the also narrowest defeat of the Republicans.

Voting continues in states that allow Pipo to vote before election day on November 5th.

Millions of Americans choose to vote early rather than wait for Election Day. They do so by voting physically or by mail, depending on individual state rules.

Just one million people have voted in North Carolina as of Sunday, according to the state Board of Elections.

In 2016, more than 58 million votes were cast before the election.

Four years later, that number jumped to 101 million eggs — about two-thirds of all votes — after states changed the rules because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pipo, who lives in the key swing state of Pennsylvania, has less than 24 hours to register to vote.

On Sunday night, Donald Trump told the pipo to register, I write on social media saying “Christians are under attack from the administration”, I am tok as I encourage my supporters to vote early.

Both Kamala Harris and I are campaigning well for Pennsylvania, in the state that has a population of 13 million people and gets 19 electoral college votes – making it the sixth most valuable electoral college vote.

Donald Trump delivered a key victory to Hilary Clinton in 2016, and won the state by about 44,000 votes — but defeated the defeat four years later by 80,000 votes, a key gain for Joe Biden.

Right now, polls suggest that Pennsylvania is very close to being called – and both candidates know that without am, the path to victory will be very difficult.

Elon Musk plans to donate $1 million (£766,000) a day to a registered voter in key swing states leading up to the US presidential election.

They will choose the winner at random from the group who will sign the petition from the billionaire campaign group AmericaPAC created to support Donald Trump.

For Pennsylvania, Musk gave voters $100 for signing the petition, plus $100 for every peso they signed. Voters in ODA battleground states receive $47 per nomination.

Some experts believe this strategy to encourage voter registration is illegal and Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, is not calling for an investigation into the “deeply troubling” scheme.

The BBC has contacted Musk and my campaign group for comment.

Trump serves fries at a McDonald’s store near Philadelphia. I am campaigning in an attempt to sow doubt about Harris’ history of working for one of the California branches of Golden Arches during her college years.

“This is fun, oh! I can do this all day,” I’m heading for the exit for Feasterville-Trevose, which is part of Bucks County.

“It’s not for fake news,” he said, before passing fries to reporters through the drive-through window.

“Now I don’t work (at McDonald’s) for 15 more minutes than Kamala,” said Trump, who liked Big Macs and Filet-o-Fish sandwiches.

Di Harris’ campaign reacts to Trump’s accusations, his tok-tok pesin Ian Sams told the BBC: “When Trump feels desperate, all I know to do is lie.”

The campaign ad says the vice president worked the cash register, ice cream machine and fry machine for the Central Avenue McDonald’s they worked for in Alameda, Calif., in the summer of 1983.

The vice president schedules town hall appearances in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin with former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, and will be moderated by Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative commentator Charlie Sykes.

She will visit these states on Monday.

These types of events that Republican presidential candidates like Mitt Romney or George W Bush took place years ago.

Harris is trying to convince independent and Republican voters in the suburbs of the state’s largest cities — Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee — to support the Democratic ticket.

If she can make inroads among college-educated professionals who might support Republicans, she could offset the gains Trump doesn’t make among blue-collar, minority and union voters.

There is no sign of how the coalitions that supported two major parties have changed in the era of Donald Trump.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump skips North Carolina and visits the city of Asheville to see all the damage that Hurricane Helene brought to the state last month.
