This means that it's possible for the Harris to win the congressional district including Omaha, and thereby obtain one electoral vote. If this happens, and she wins the Blue Wall states, she gets to 270 electoral votes and wins the election.

The Trump campaign continued to push false claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, even after a top city leader told a campaign staffer for its vice presidential nominee ahead of this month’s presidential debate the rumors were “baseless,” the city’s mayor said, confirming a Wall Street Journal report.

A staffer of vice presidential candidate JD Vance called Springfield City Manager Bryan Heck on September 9 and asked if there was any truth in rumors that Haitian immigrants were taking and eating pets in Springfield, Heck told the Journal.

“He asked point-blank, ‘Are the rumors true of pets being taken and eaten?’” Heck told the outlet. “I told him no. There was no verifiable evidence or reports to show this was true. I told them these claims were baseless.”

While Dick Cheney has endorsed Harris, there have been no comments from other senior Republicans from Bush’s era

The MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell this week hit out at George W Bush, the Republican former president, for refusing to weigh in on America’s looming presidential election.

“All any decent person wants him to do is to say, ‘Don’t vote for Donald Trump, and here’s why,’ and he won’t even do that,” O’Donnell told the Fast Politics podcast, of the Republican president who was in office from 2001 to 2009.

Increasingly, Bush – and some other top Republicans from his political era – are looking lonely in their ongoing refusal to take a side in an election in which many have warned that US democracy is under threat from Trump’s open sympathies with autocracy.

"It’s a telling sign of the state of global affairs that Volodymyr Zelensky’s first stop on his US visit was in the swingiest of swing states in the presidential election: Pennsylvania,” Bloomberg reports.

“The visit was to an ammunition factory, one of the few in the country making the kind of artillery shells that Ukraine is running low on in its fight against Russia. What’s more it’s in Scranton, President Joe Biden’s home town and a symbol for the disaffected voter in the Rust Belt that will decide who wins.”

“Pennsylvania also happens to be home to one of the largest Ukrainian American populations in the US.”

• Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a new temporary government funding proposal with key amendments from the original bill he put forward earlier this month.
• The new proposal goes against Donald Trump's wishes and makes some concessions to Democrats.
• The new bill would fund the government through Dec. 20 and does not include any part of the SAVE Act, the Trump-backed election security proposal that would require people to show proof of citizenship to register as a voter.
• The previous version of Johnson's bill, which Trump preferred, was attached to the SAVE Act and would have funded the government through March 2025.

Despite the good news for the Trump campaign, the polls have ebbed and flowed in this campaign.

Real Clear Politics' polling average, which considers polls from as much as three weeks ago, shows all the swing states within the margin of error, making the race too close to call less than two months from election day.
