Last US election: Springsteen calls Trump a “tyrant”; Bookmakers favor Trump’s election victory | US News

That’s all for our live US election coverage this evening, but we’ll be back later with more updates and analysis.

If you’re just stopping by, here’s a recap of today’s key developments.

Polls continue to show the presidential race is neck-and-neck with less than two weeks until Election Day (see the latest polls and both candidates’ path to victory here).

Donald Trump

The former president began the day with a large rally in Arizona. He gave his usual short speech, but, as he often does, went off script and said the Biden-Harris administration’s immigration policies had made the US “a trash can for the world” (more here – and see below).

In a later interview, he categorically denied a recent claim by his former chief of staff that he had once said he wanted “the kind of generals Hitler had.”

Separately, Mr. Trump also said he would fire the federal prosecutor investigating whether he tried to overturn his 2020 election defeat if he is elected in November (more here).

Kamala Harris and Barack Obama

The vice president began the day with a televised statement in Pennsylvania in which she said it was “sad” that Mr. Trump was “exhausted” and “not showing up to the debates” (more here).

She then flew to Atlanta, Georgia, where her campaign held a rally with a number of megastars.

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen played three of his hits and in between said that Mr. Trump wanted to be an “American tyrant” and “doesn’t understand this country, its history or what it means to be deeply American” (read and watch in full here).

Former President Barack Obama also gave a speech in which he gave Mr Trump some political advice: “In politics, a good rule of thumb is: Don’t say you want to do something like Hitler” (more here – and see below) .

There will be another star-studded rally tomorrow, with pop megastar Beyoncé set to perform at an event supporting the vice president (more here).

Tim Waltz

The Democratic nominee for vice president spoke at several events in swing states today.

At a meeting in North Carolina, he lashed out at Elon Musk, calling him an “idiot” who was “prancing around on stage” and supporting Trump (more here – and watch the moment below).

He also called Mr. Trump “old as hell,” as reports suggested the former president was “exhausted” (more here).

JD Vance

The Republican Party’s chosen candidate for vice president has been campaigning in the key battleground state of Michigan.

He also visited the conservative news station News Nation for a town hall event.
