MNI POLITICAL RISK - Milton Makes Landfall In Florida

Executive summary:

• Hurricane Milton made landfall in central Florida overnight, hitting close to Tampa with sustained winds over 100 mph and spawning tornados and flooding across the region. The hurricane has since been downgraded to a category 1 storm, as it exits Florida into the Atlantic Ocean.
• Vice President Kamala Harris will tape a Univision town hall in Las Vegas, Nevada today before travelling to Phoenix, Arizona for a rally. 
• Former President Donald Trump will address the Detroit Economic Club this afternoon, following stops in Pennsylvania yesterday, widely considered the most important state of the presidential election cycle.
• Harris has “erased Trump's advantage” among suburban residents and middle-income households, a bloc that makes up around half of the electorate.
• Harris has raised around USD$1 billion during her three months as a presidential candidate.
• Trump pledged to end double taxation on expatriate Americans, should he win the White House.
• President Biden held his first call with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu since August 21, urging Israel to keep its response to Iran’s ballistic missile attack contained to military targets, rather than striking Iran’s nuclear or energy infrastructure.
• Poll of the Day: All seven presidential election swing states remain within the polling margin of error.
