With three days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Kamala Harris<\/a> and Donald Trump<\/a> are making their final pitches<\/a> in all of the key battleground states.
They both spent Friday evening hosting competing rallies in Wisconsin<\/a> where they attempted to shore up support from voters in one of the \u201cblue wall\u201d states that could seal the deal for the Democratic Party on November 5.
Harris was joined by comedian Keegan-Michael Key<\/a> and rapper Cardi B<\/a> as well as a host of musical guests. Trump, whose speech was troubled by mic issues, was accompanied by Robert F Kennedy Jr<\/a> and Republican lawmakers.
The final poll from The Times <\/em>and YouGov finds that the vice president is set to narrowly win enough swing states to take the White House.
\u201cWe find that Kamala Harris very narrowly wins enough of those states to become America\u2019s first female president,\u201d Times <\/em>US Assistant Editor David Charter said on Friday.
However, a Harris campaign official said they \u201cfully expect\u201d the former president to declare victory before all votes have been counted.
\u201cIt won\u2019t work,\u201d the official said during a press call.
\u201cHe did this before. It failed,\u201d they added. \u201cIf he does it again, it will fail.\u201d
Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s first stint as commander-in-chief between 2017 and 2021 was anything but smooth sailing, with firings and acrimonious departures as much a feature of his administration as it was central to his hit NBC reality show The Apprentice<\/em>.
And, the years that followed have also been eventful for the most notable characters from his presidency.
Some have ended up in prison or criminally charged in connection to their involvement with the former president.
Some have become his most vocal critics, sounding the alarm about the dangers of a second term.<\/a>
Few are still on speaking terms with him.
Now, with the election, and therefore a possible Trump second term, <\/a>just days away, here\u2019s a reminder of some of the key figures in Trump\u2019s first administration \u2013 and where they are now:
Few who served in his first administration are still on speaking terms with Trump \u2013 and some are openly hostile. Joe Sommerlad writes
Former president Donald Trump<\/a> was \u201ctoo undisciplined\u201d in his first term and his \u201cshort\u201d attention span kept him from remaining on message, The <\/em><\/a>Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a> editorial board said in an op-ed on Thursday.
\u201cMr. Trump was too undisciplined, and his attention span too short, to stay on one message much less stage a coup,\u201d the editorial board wrote.
For more than 95 years, WSJ has declined to formally endorse a presidential candidate<\/a> but its editorial board released two op-eds this week on Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a>, laying out the pros and cons of each potential presidency.
Ariana Baio <\/strong>looks at what they said.

ith days to go until America decides who will become the next president<\/a>, there are concerns among some US allies over one of the most important aspects of their relationship with the world\u2019s most powerful nation \u2014 intelligence sharing.
While a Kamala Harris<\/a> presidency is expected to fit into a more predictable pattern of intelligence handling, security experts say some US allies have more \u201canxiety\u201d about the alternative: Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s return to the White House.
The Independent <\/em>spoke to experts in intelligence, national security, and foreign policy from the UK, Australia<\/a>, and Canada on the implications of a second Trump term. They all agree that the stakes couldn\u2019t be higher \u2013 and suggest that the Republican candidate\u2019s track record when it comes to leaking secret information is one of their causes for concern.

Votes cast for Green Party<\/a> presidential candidate Jill Stein<\/a> in Ohio will not be counted despite her name appearing on the state\u2019s ballot in Tuesday\u2019s election after an appeals court panel denied her motion seeking to force the election chief to tally them.
The three-judge panel on the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday against her request for an injunction targeting Republican<\/a> Secretary of State Frank LaRose on Friday in a dispute over the person listed as her running mate on the ballot.

Kamala Harris is only the second woman to be a major party’s presidential candidate, following Hillary Clinton in 2016. But women have been trying to break this barrier for over a century. In 1872, Victoria Woodhull ran for president without the right to vote, and Belva Lockwood followed in the 1880s. By 1964, Margaret Chase Smith sought a major party nomination, and Shirley Chisholm became the first Black candidate to do so in 1972. In 2016, Clinton nearly became the first female president. Now, with Harris in the race, America might make history on November 5th.

When election returns start coming in Tuesday evening<\/a>, one group is certain to be in the spotlight: Black men.
For the past year, pollsters, pundits and political operatives have been hard at work spinning a narrative about Black voters, and younger men in particular. Those voters, many have warned, are increasingly turning away from the Democratic Party, which has enjoyed a massive advantage among Black voters for decades.
\u201cBlack men are rapidly abandoning the Democratic Party\u201d, a triumphant headline declared on the website<\/a> of the conservative American Enterprise Institute (AEI) earlier this year. That assertion was backed up by a poll from the NAACP in August, which found that as many as one in four young black male voters were considering voting for Donald Trump<\/a>.

The Republican Party<\/a> is gearing up to support Donald Trump<\/a>\u2019s legal challenges to election results<\/a>, again, by ensuring they have enough money to pay the bills \u2013 with more than $90 million raised so far.

Former President Donald Trump<\/a> launched a profanity-laden attack on Joe Biden<\/a> and Kamala Harris<\/a>, calling the president a \u201cstupid bastard\u201d and the vice president a \u201csleazebag.\u201d<\/a>
Trump made the comments on Thursday night<\/a> during a sitdown event with former Fox News<\/a> host Tucker Carlson<\/a> in Glendale<\/a>, Arizona<\/a>.

Vice President Kamala Harris<\/a> was once called a \u201cchildless cat lady<\/a>\u201d by Donald Trump\u2019<\/a>s running mate JD Vance<\/a> \u2014 a claim that the childfree community<\/a>, her husband\u2019s ex-wife<\/a>, and even Jennifer Aniston<\/a> have slammed as sexist.
It\u2019s also just plain wrong. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee actually has two step-children thanks to her husband Doug Emhoff, whom she wed in 2014. Emhoff had two children, Ella and Cole Emhoff, with his first wife, Kerstin \u2014 and the pair affectionately refer to Harris as their \u201cmomala.\u201d
\u201cFor over 10 years since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I,\u201d Kerstin Emhoff told CNN. \u201cI love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it.\u201d

During a campaign stop in New Mexico, Donald Trump<\/a> used the final moments of the 2024 election<\/a> to continue spreading false claims, telling voters the previous two presidential votes in the state were \u201crigged<\/a>.\u201d
Albuquerque officials, meanwhile, were worried about a different count: the roughly $445,000 they say the Trump campaign still owes for a 2019 visit.
