Executive summary:

  • Texas isn’t widely considered a competitive state, but Democrats have been eying Senator Ted Cruz’ (R-TX) seat as a potential second route to retaining the Senate. 
  • US intelligence agencies warned yesterday that Russia and Iran may seek to incite violent protests in the US between Election Day and the inauguration of the next president.
  • President Biden handed Harris a potentially toxic news cycle when he said of former President Donald Trump: “We’ve got to lock him up.” 
  • 10:00 ET 15:00 BST: White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan will deliver a major speech at the Brookings Institution on the US economic agenda. 
  • Trump said his tax breaks for purchasing cars would only apply to vehicles manufactured in the United States.
  • The US and Israel have reportedly come to a 'quiet understanding' that Israel will refrain from striking Iran's oil industry and nuclear facilities. 
  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the US is, “very close to finalising America's portion of the $50B loan to Ukraine."
  • Poll of the Day: Voters are increasingly confident that Harris is better equipped than Trump to handle several key economic issues.
