Executive summary:
- Vice President Kamala Harris is set to unveil a new policy agenda designed to shore up support amongst Black men. The move comes after former president Barack Obama's attempt to stump for Harris on the campaign trail received frosty reviews from high-profile Black pundits.
- Harris also continues to struggle to reach Biden’s numbers with Hispanic voters, who are largely shrugging off Trump’s hardline rhetoric around immigration and border security, defanging one of Harris’ campaign pitches to the demographic.
- Friction between the Harris camp and the White House could derail crucial cooperation in the final weeks before Election Day.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has raked in a fundraising record, adding to Republican optimism for a trifecta in November.
- The US has authorised deploying 100 ground troops to operate a Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) battery in Israel. The deployment will be the first US boots on the ground in Israel during the current crisis.
- Poll of the Day: In this presidential election, education and social class may be a more important factor in voting than race.
