Allies of US President Donald Trump reportedly fear that his recent controversial rally may have hurt him politically, and that their internal polls are not accurately reflecting his precarious standing in Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, new polling has shown surprising shifts among women and undecided voters toward Vice President Kamala Harris. Amid this, Trump expressed anger regarding a respected Des Moines Register poll, which showed him three points down in Iowa, and accused pollsters of conspiring against him. Despite this, experts suggest that the presidential race remains uncertain. Danielle Butterfield, executive director of Democratic PAC Priorities USA, discussed strategies for Harris to secure a win.

During a visit to flood-affected Valencia, Spain’s King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia were pelted with mud and other objects by protesters, who also hurled abuse at them. The Spanish Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez, was similarly targeted and hastily evacuated. The anger stems from a view that authorities offered inadequate warning and insufficient support during the floods, which resulted in the death of over 200 people. While the royal couple attempted to engage with the protesters, their planned visit to another affected town, Chiva, was postponed. King Felipe later expressed understanding of the protestors’ anger and frustration.

Jesse Watters, a leading figure at Fox, has been promoted to the coveted 8 p.m. slot, formerly hosted by Tucker Carlson. This comes after having his own primetime show since January 2022. Watters’ personal life has also undergone changes, with him having met his now-ex wife, Noelle Inguagiato, at Fox News and having two children with her. Despite their eventual divorce, he humorously referred to their union by stating that attractive partners can make differing political beliefs tolerable. The circumstances of their divorce led to his new marriage.

Former President Donald Trump has suggested that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has made unfounded claims about vaccines, could play a key role if Trump is re-elected. Trump, in a telephone conversation with NBC News, added that he was open to some of Kennedy’s controversial ideas. Kennedy has furthered conspiracy theories about vaccines and their supposed links to autism. Trump also mentioned a potential ban on certain vaccines under his administration and praised Kennedy’s abilities, without specifying any roles he might play. Kennedy tweeted that a Trump administration would seek to ban fluoride in water, a move supported by Trump.

On his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver urged undecided and reluctant voters to vote for Kamala Harris in the US Election. Oliver reasoned that he supports Harris’ proposals including expanding Medicare for elder care, expanding reproductive freedoms, and improving the incomes of poorer Americans. Oliver addressed those voters unhappy about the Biden administration’s policy toward the war in Gaza, saying he understands their reluctance but voting for Harris was better than allowing Trump to win. He expressed concern over the potential long-lasting damage of a second Trump term, including the possibility of Trump replacing Supreme Court Justices. Oliver emphasised the importance of voting, despite the politics being uninspiring, as it is a constant fight towards justice.

Donald Trump, the former US president, seemed to forget what state he was in during a rally speech in Kinston, North Carolina. He discussed his hopeful ousting of Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, making light of McConnell’s previous endorsement of him. Trump proceeded to laud “great Republicans,” erroneously referencing David McCormick, a Senate candidate running in Pennsylvania, to a North Carolina crowd. This mistake seemed to stem from the fact that Trump had been in Pennsylvania earlier in the day.

Iranian officials plan to employ more powerful warheads for the next attack against Israel, even in the face of American preventative attempts. This comes in retaliation against Israel’s October 26 strike on Iran’s military infrastructure, after Iran directed around 200 missiles into Israel earlier that month. Iran’s traditional military forces could be involved in the future attacks, differing from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard’s exclusive handling of Israel-related security activity. Iranian officials have articulated a plan to use more than drones and missiles in the oncoming strike; any missiles would have enhanced warheads. The attack will follow the US Election Day but will be before the new president’s inauguration in January.

Geography and history teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded by an Islamist terrorist in 2020 after a student falsely claimed he had discriminated against Muslim students in class. The girl, who had been suspended for bad behavior, lied to her father about Paty showing caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad from Charlie Hebdo and instructing Muslim students to leave the room during the lesson. Paty’s killer, Abdoullakh Anzorov, traveled to the Paris suburb to carry out the act after the girl’s father posted about the incident online. On Monday, the father and seven others will stand trial in connection with the murder, charged with association with a terrorist organization. Last year, Chnina’s daughter and five other former students aged between 13 and 15 were tried; she received an 18-month suspended sentence for making “slanderous and false accusations.”

The Des Moines Register’s final poll shows Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris leading Republican Donald Trump by a narrow margin ahead of the election in Iowa, a state typically presumed to support Trump. Kamala had the backing of 47% of respondents, as opposed to Trump’s 44%. The poll, conducted by respected pollster J. Ann Selzer, is known as the “gold standard” for its accurate track record in predicting state-wide election results. However, Progressive advocates have urged that supporters should not place complete faith in a single poll, pushing for continued campaigning actions. The poll also reported that among women aged 65 and older there was a significant shift towards Harris, with 63% supporting her over Trump’s 28%, and independent-identifying women also favouring her, 57% to 29%.
