MNI POLITICAL RISK - Harris Evokes Biden's Anti-Trump Rhetoric

Daily round-up of news from the US.

Executive summary:

  • A raft of new polls has shown little conclusive movement in either direction but may add to Democrat concerns that the race is drifting towards Trump. National and state-level polling averages show that Trump has closed the gap over the past month, but the key swing states remain deadlocked.
  • The political prediction market Polymarket said it believes one trader is behind four accounts responsible for a major surge towards Trump on its main presidential election market, seen as one of the key drivers of a recent sentiment shift in the election discourse.
  • Democrats appear to be losing their edge in early voting.
  • The Harris campaign has seized on comments made by Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, as an ‘October surprise’ that can reinforce its message on Trump’s risk to Democracy. 
  • White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan revisited a 2023 speech where he articulated an expansive vision to mobilise public money to unlock private sector investment in strategic industries.
  • President Biden has signed a National Security Memorandum (NSM) that would direct the federal government to ensure that the United States leads the world in Artificial Intelligence.
  • Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed yesterday that North Korea has deployed troops to Russia to fight the war in Ukraine.
  • Poll of the Day:Trump has overtaken Harris on who Americans trust with the economy.
