We are now just four days out from the 2024 US presidential election, and both candidates have been busy hitting the ground running in key battleground states to make their final arguments before voters head to the polls.
If you are just joining us, here's the latest so far:
- Donald Trump is under fire for comments he made on Thursday about former Republican House representative Liz Cheney, saying that she is "a radical war hawk" who would be opposed to war if she had guns "trained on her face"
- Cheney called Trump "petty, vindictive," and "cruel", while Kamala Harris said Trump's comments should be "disqualifying" him from running for office
- US jobs growth has slowed sharply in October, according to new numbers released today - these figures are closely watched ahead of an election, as they give an indication about the strength of the US economy
- Over 66 million Americans have cast an early ballot as of yesterday
- Rival running mates Tim Walz and JD Vance are holding duelling campaign events in the battleground state of Michigan. Walz addressed undecided voters in his speech, while Vance painted Democrats as "people who hate their fellow citizens"
- US intelligence has called out Russia for attempting to interfere with the upcoming election by spreading misinformation online, including a video of a Haitian man who falsely claims to have voted "multiple times" in Georgia
Up ahead, we still have:
- Harris in Wisconsin, a closely contested state, where she is making several stops before appearing alongside rapper Cardi B at a rally in Milwaukee at 22:00 EDT (03:00 GMT)
- Trump, meanwhile, is paying a visit to Dearborn, Michigan, a city with a large Arab-American population, before making his way to Wisconsin, where he will hold his own rally in Milwaukee at 20:00 EDT (01:00 GMT)
