10:39 am
it's been a rough week for the former president, on the back foot over his comments about women, hispanics and a suggestion that one opponent should face something akin to a firing squad. rock music plays. so, a bit of an unusual treat for the crowd but the message from the candidate was the same. i will end inflation. i will stop the criminal invasion of our country — the biggest problem we have right now. and i will bring back the american dream. all chant: fix the mic! oh, the mic? yeah, i think the mic stinks. donald trump's bad week continued, these normally slick events bedevilled by sound problems. cheering and applause. hi. here in wisconsin, just as across the other six swing states, donald trump and kamala harris are neck and neck — that is why they're ending up in the same cities

celebrity endorsements matter, but only get you so far in a close presidential race. it's now a battle for every vote. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, milwaukee. with just a few days left until the us election, the race between donald trump and kamala harris remains as tight as ever. new polls are arriving every day, each with their own slightly different take on the figures. if you draw out the overall trends, rather than the individual points, you see vice president kamala harris s early lead down at around a single point. but the candidates' share of the national vote won't determine the winner. let s turn to the battleground states, that's the seven that were very close last time around and could be decisive in this election. trump has an edge in georgia, arizona and north carolina, and you can see them at the bottom of the screen. the other battlegrounds are tighter. the picture has shifted slightly in his favour since the start of october — but neither candidate can bank
