• Polls show Vice President Kamala Harris leading in Pennsylvania and Michigan, and narrowly ahead in Wisconsin, indicating a tight race against Donald Trump.
• Taylor Swift's endorsement of Harris has led to a significant increase in voter registrations, though its ultimate impact on the election remains uncertain.
• The Uncommitted National Movement, advocating for a shift in U.S. policy towards Israel, has refused to endorse Harris, criticizing her stance on military aid to Israel.
