Trump vs. Harris live: Trump sits down with Dr. Phil after accepting ABC debate rules

Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff has attended a series of campaign receptions, while Governor Tim Walz will address the International Association of Fire Fighters on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Trump and his running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, will travel through Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Vice President Kamala Harris is launching a new advertising campaign to promote her plan to build three million new homes over four years, a move designed to curb inflationary pressures that contrast sharply with Republican Donald Trump’s approach.
