Today's recap
Donald Trump was in Georgia, for a speech billed as discussing his policies on manufacturing and taxation. He talked about tariffs and promised lower taxes on corporations – but also meandered to other topics.
Kamala Harris, meanwhile, spoke to a public radio station in battleground state Wisconsin, where the vice-president said she would support repealing the filibuster in the Senate to allow passage of a law restoring the constitutional right to abortion once guaranteed by Roe v Wade.
And at the United Nations in New York, Joe Biden gave his final address as US president to the general assembly, urging the world to defend Ukraine while calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the weapons shipments fueling the war in Sudan.

Prosecutors filed a charge of attempted assassination against Ryan Routh, who investigators said had camped out, armed, near Trump’s golf course for about 12 hours, before being confronted by a Secret Service agent, the AP reports.
The leader of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, a non-profit that represents the Haitian community of Springfield, Ohio, has filed criminal charges against Trump and JD Vance over their false statements about migrants.
Local authorities in Tempe, Arizona, have said that someone fired shots at a Democratic party campaign office in a Phoenix suburb, causing damage but no injuries,
Biden, at the UN, also reflected on his decision not to seek a second term, telling global leaders “some things are more important than staying in power”.

Harris picked up the endorsements of more than 400 economists and experts in the field.
Trump’s push to change Nebraska’s electoral system to winner-take-all failed after a Republican state senator declined to support last-minute changes.

A federal judge overseeing Trump’s election interference case will allow special counsel Jack Smith to submit a 180-page brief that could contain new evidence.
Updated
The Enhanced Presidential Security Act, which passed Tuesday evening with unanimous support in the US Senate, will now go to Joe Biden for a signature.
The measure would give Donald Trump and Kamala Harris the same level of security as Joe Biden, following two assassination attempts against Trump. The bill earlier passed the House without opposition.
