Reporting from Washington
Hello and welcome to our politics live blog. We are now only 27 days away from Election Night in America.
Both campaigns are homing in on battleground Arizona, as early voting kicks off in the southwestern state. Democratic vice-presidential hopeful Tim Walz and his Republican counterpart, JD Vance, will hold competing campaign events across the state.
Donald Trump will hold two events in must-win Pennsylvania, including one in President Joe Biden’s home town.
Kamala Harris remains in New York but will be briefed remotely on preparations before Hurricane Milton hits Florida tonight, then she will depart for Nevada, where she will hold campaign events tomorrow.
In the White House, President Joe Biden has cancelled an overseas trip to Germany and Angola as Milton – currently a category five storm with life-threatening storm surge and winds – bears down on the mainland.
Biden and Harris will also speak with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the first time in weeks. Tensions have been rising between Washington and Tel Aviv, so we’ll be watching the developments closely.
Stay tuned as we bring you coverage through the day.
