Closing summary
This blog is closed – thanks for following along. Here is a summary of today’s key developments:
Donald Trump rallied supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania, three months after a shooter attempted to assassinate him there on 13 July. He was joined by vice-presidential nominee JD Vance, son and daughter-in-law Eric and Lara Trump, and tech billionaire Elon Musk, who all railed against immigrants and the Democratic party.
Kamala Harris visited North Carolina, to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Helene and receive a briefing from Fema officials. The vice-president’s visit to North Carolina, as Trump rallied supporters in Pennsylvania, came amid concerns that her campaign has not held as many public events as her opponent.
Harris campaign proxies toured swing states. Bernie Sanders campaigned in Michigan, while actors like Kerry Washington prepared to visit Arizona.
