Election 2024 live updates: Trump and Harris campaign in swing states as poll shows virtual tie
Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are still virtually tied in the seven key battleground states according to the latest Washington Post/Schar School poll. Harris has a narrow lead in the Blue Wall state of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, as well as in Georgia. Trump is ahead in Arizona and North Carolina, while they are tied in Nevada.
The former president spent Sunday working the fry cooker at a branch of McDonald’s – the latest bizarre moment in a campaign that has increasingly become a tour of personal vendettas and aimless grudges, despite his aides’ best efforts to keep him on track.
The Republican presidential nominee has become obsessed with the fact that his Democratic opponent worked in one of its restaurants when she was a student.
CBS News has meanwhile hit back at the former president over his repeated false claims that its show 60 Minutes edited its recent interview with Harris to make her answers appear more favorable.
In a statement, the show insisted its episodes are cut to be “clear, accurate and on point” and never “deceitful”.
Harris meanwhile spent the weekend celebrating her 60th birthday while Trump raised eyebrows with a crude anecdote about golfer Arnold Palmer’s manhood.
IN FOCUS: Inside the Harris campaign effort to turn red voters blue
For generations of American schoolchildren, a key rite of passage in civic education has been a visit to a centuries-old, two-story Georgian structure in downtown Philadelphia.
That building, formally known today as Independence Hall, has over the centuries played host to multiple American presidents, and remains the centerpiece of a national park celebrating America’s founding. It is where the constitution was born.
On Thursday, it was business as usual outside the iconic venue. Young students in identical hats emblazoned with their school and class year filed past on their way into the rooms where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were debated and approved by the nation’s founding fathers. Senior citizens on an organized tour walked past the front entrance on their way to the next stop on their journey.
But across Chestnut Street, on a sidewalk abutting the green grass of Independence Mall, another, much smaller group was gathering for a group photograph.

Inside Ron DeSantis’s war on abortion rights in Florida
A federal judge offered a withering single-sentence summary to tell Ron DeSantis why his administration can’t threaten to criminally prosecute TV stations for airing abortion rights ads.
“To keep it simple for the State of Florida,” Judge Mark Walker wrote on October 17, “it’s the First Amendment, stupid.”
Police have knocked on doors. Government-funded ad campaigns and websites have called opponents liars, and state investigators have accused them of fraud. State officials sent cease and desist letters to local news networks threatening them with legal action, which the judge blasted as “indirect” government censorship. The state attorney who wrote the letters abruptly stepped down after sending them. “A man is nothing without his conscience,” he wrote in his resignation letter.
Judge Walker dealt a temporary blow to the Republican governor’s efforts. But advocates fear DeSantis is paving the way to throw out election results for a ballot measure that would protect reproductive rights. If approved by voters, that ballot measure would derail the governor’s anti-abortion agenda and overturn the state’s abortion bans.

Trump bizarrely states he has ‘no cognitive problems and is not that close to 80’
Donald Trump bizarrely stated he has “no cognitive problems” and is “not that close to 80”, minutes after getting a news anchor’s name wrong. Speaking during a town hall in swing state Pennsylvania on Sunday (20 October), the 78-year-old former US president said: “Let’s have a little fun, Paige”, to former ESPN anchor Sage Steele who was set to moderate the discussion. Trump also renewed his call for the mental acuity tests after vouching for his cognitive ability, before telling the audience: “I am not 80, I am not that close to 80.” He then went on to praise the sharpness of 93-year-old Rupert Murdoch.
