Closing summary
Thanks for joining us today. This blog is closing soon. Here’s where things stand:
Kamala Harris and Donald Trump spent Sunday trying to shore up political support among what they perceived to be must-have voting blocs with polls showing them locked in a tight 5 November presidential race.
Kamala Harris held a rally in Greenville, North Carolina, where she attacked her rival Donald Trump for spreading misinformation related to hurricanes Helene and Milton. Meanwhile, Trump delivered his remarks at Prescott Valley, Arizona.
A Las Vegas man was arrested for illegally possessing firearms near Trump’s rally. Deputies assigned to Donald Trump’s rally “contacted” the driver of a black SUV at a checkpoint near the intersection at around 5pm on Saturday, law enforcement said.
Speaker Mike Johnson said that passing additional hurricane aid for states impacted by hurricanes Helene and Milton “can wait” until Congress is back in session after the election.
Three major polls were released Sunday, showing Kamala Harris either ahead of Donald Trump or running a head-to-head race.

Before concluding his speech, Donald Trump criticized critical race theory and made homophobic remarks about gender identity lessons at schools.
“Our cities are suffering,” Trump said. “We will get critical race theory and transgender insanity out of our schools, and we will keep men out of women’s sports.”
He later finished his speech at Prescott Valley, Arizona.
