US Election 2024 Latest: Trump and Harris enter the final stretch of the 2024 campaign

Uncertainty reigns entering the final full week of the 2024 campaign with Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump locked in a fiercely competitive presidential contest. What happens in the coming days will be pivotal in deciding the winner of next week's election.

Fires set in ballot drop boxes destroy hundreds of US election vote

Incendiary devices have been set off at two ballot drop boxes — one in Portland and another in nearby Vancouver, Washington — destroying hundreds of ballots in what one official called a “direct attack on democracy” about a week before a heated US election day. The early morning fire at the drop box in Portland was extinguished quickly thanks to a suppression system inside the box as well as a nearby security guard, police said, and just three ballots were damaged there. But within a few hours, another fire was discovered at a transit centre drop box across the Columbia River in Vancouver.

Biden says of Trump: ‘We gotta lock him up … politically’

US President Joe Biden told New Hampshire Democrats today that "we gotta lock him up", referring to former president Donald Trump, before quickly adding, "politically lock him up". The president was co-opting a 2016 Trump campaign line that referred to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton - rhetoric that this year's nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris, has discouraged on the campaign trail. Describing some of Trump's plans for a second term, Biden said, "I know this sounds bizarre – it sounds like if I said this five years ago, you'd lock me up. We gotta lock him up."

Rudy Giuliani must give control of luxury items and Manhattan apartment to Georgia election workers he defamed, judge rules

A US federal judge has ordered former Donald Trump attorney and New York mayor Rudy Giuliani to turn over all his valuable possessions and his Manhattan penthouse apartment to the control of Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, the Georgia election workers he defamed and to whom he now owes $US150 million ($224 million). Judge Lewis Liman of the federal court in Manhattan said Giuliani must turn over his interest in the property to the women in seven days, to a receivership they will control. The judge's turnover order of the luxury items is swift and simple, but the penthouse apartment will have its control transferred so Freeman and Moss can sell it, potentially for millions of dollars.

Trump’s former chief of staff says he fits ‘fascist’ definition and prefers ‘dictator approach’

John Kelly, the retired Marine general who was Donald Trump's White House chief of staff, told The New York Times that the former president fits "into the general definition of fascist" and "certainly prefers the dictator approach to government." The newspaper reported on Tuesday that in a recorded interview, Kelly was asked whether the former president met the definition of a fascist and responded by reading aloud a definition he'd found online. "Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It's a far-right authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterised by a dictatorial leader, centralised autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy," Kelly said. Republican presidential nominee, former...

‘DJ Trump’: Trump town hall turns into impromptu concert after medical incidents

Donald Trump's town hall in the Philadelphia suburbs turned into an impromptu concert on Monday after the former president was twice interrupted by medical emergencies in the room. The Republican presidential nominee paused during a question-and-answer session as a doctor in the room attended to the first person to have a medical issue. After a second emergency halted the discussion moderated by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Trump stopped taking questions.
