Hello, and welcome back to our live coverage of the 2024 US election. It's Tuesday morning here in Washington DC, and much of the news this morning is focused on the threat Hurricane Milton poses to Florida - which is also having an effect on the political campaigning calendar.
A town hall scheduled for Tuesday between Donald Trump and Latino leaders in Miami has been postponed to next week due to the storm.
Elsewhere, Kamala Harris is pressing on with her media blitz, with several visits to TV and radio talk shows scheduled throughout the day. Today's interviews come after her appearances on CBS's news programme 60 Minutes on Monday night and the popular podcast Call Her Daddy on Sunday, which sparked much discussion online. The ramp-up in media appearances follows months of criticism from Republicans and others that Harris had been too reluctant to face questioning from the press.
We'll also be following as President Joe Biden hits the campaign trail for his vice-president in swing states Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and as the Republican VP candidate JD Vance heads to Michigan. Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz is set to be attending fundraisers on the West Coast.
Plus, former first lady Melania Trump's memoir is out today - we'll bring you all the top lines from that as well.
Stick with us, it's going to be a busy day.
