I\u2019m Tom Ambrose and I\u2019ll be bringing you all the latest from the campaign trail, with polling day now just two weeks away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">We start with the news that <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> has urged <strong>Christian voters<\/strong> on Monday to participate in the 2024 election, claiming that a <strong>Kamala Harris<\/strong> administration would restrict religious freedoms and casting himself as a protector of Christians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">During an event in <strong>North Carolina<\/strong> billed as an \u201c11th-Hour Faith Leaders Meeting\u201d, a series of conservative pastors warmed up for Trump, including <strong>Guillermo Maldonado<\/strong>, an \u201capostle\u201d and longtime Trump ally who cast the election in perilous terms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cYou know, we\u2019re now in spiritual warfare,\u201d said Maldonado, alluding to the idea that Christians are at war on the supernatural plane against dark forces that affect the real world. \u201cIt\u2019s beyond warfare between the left and the right. It\u2019s between good and evil. There\u2019s a big fight right now that is affecting our country and we need to take back our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Introducing Trump, Ben Carson, the campaign\u2019s National Faith Chairman for the 2024 election, openly rejected the idea of secular society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThis election is about whether we are a secular nation or one nation under God,\u201d said Carson, echoing the aims of Christian nationalists who view the US as a Christian nation that must return to God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In other news:<\/p>\n<ul

In a newly unveiled official campaign ad, a disembodied voice warns gravely that a second Trump term \u201cwould be worse. There would be no one to stop his worst instincts. No guard rails.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">At a recent rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Harris reminded her supporters of Project 2025, the \u201cdetailed and dangerous plan\u201d that she believes an \u201cincreasingly unstable and unhinged\u201d Trump will follow to cement \u201cunchecked power\u201d. She sounded the alarm about the dire threat Trump poses to \u201cyour fundamental freedoms\u201d and how in his second term he would be \u201cessentially immune\u201d from oversight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">This is hair-raising stuff. And the campaign thinks that menacing warnings like these will motivate some urgency to march to the polls for Harris. The only problem is that voters, especially working-class voters, seem uniquely uninspired by the appeal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"79d127ff-08a4-4f52-953b-98faa031dd13\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:5,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;To win, Harris should talk more about working-class needs and less about Trump | Dustin Guastella&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;79d127ff-08a4-4f52-953b-98faa031dd13&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;inline&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2024\/oct\/22\/harris-working-class-voters-poll-election&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\" props=\"{&quot;size&quot;:&quot;xsmall&quot;,&quot;pageId&quot;:&quot;us-news\/live\/2024\/oct\/22\/donald-trump-christian-voters-kamala-harris-election-us-politics-latest-updates&quot;,&quot;blockId&quot;:&quot;67177a4e8f08deab319f357a&quot;,&quot;webTitle&quot;:&quot;Donald Trump urges Christian voters to participate in 2024 election \u2013 US politics live&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:11,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0},&quot;context&quot;:&quot;LiveBlock&quot;}\"><a href=\"mailto:?subject=Donald Trump urges Christian voters to participate in 2024 election \u2013 US politics live&amp;body=https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/live\/2024\/oct\/22\/donald-trump-christian-voters-kamala-harris-election-us-politics-latest-updates?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-67177a4e8f08deab319f357a#block-67177a4e8f08deab319f357a\" type=\"button\" class=\"dcr-1v00ko5\">Share<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"-3 -3 30 30\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19 16c1.675 0 3 1.35 3 3 0 1.675-1.325 3-3 3a2.97 2.97 0 0 1-2.975-3c0-.125 0-.275.025-.375L7.1 14.15a2.9 2.9 0 0 1-2.075.825C3.325 14.975 2 13.65 2 12a3.004 3.004 0 0 1 3.025-3.025c.775 0 1.5.35 2.075.875l8.95-4.475c-.025-.1-.025-.225-.025-.4A2.966 2.966 0 0 1 19 2c1.675 0 3 1.325 3 2.975C22 6.65 20.675 8 19 8c-.8 0-1.475-.325-2.05-.825l-8.975 4.45C8 11.7 8 11.825 8 12s0 .3-.025.375l8.975 4.45c.575-.5 1.25-.825 2.05-.825m0-12.8c-.975 0-1.8.775-1.8 1.775S18.025 6.8 19 6.8c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.825S20 3.2 19 3.2m0 17.6c1 0 1.825-.825 1.825-1.8 0-1-.825-1.8-1.825-1.8-.975 0-1.8.8-1.8 1.8 0 .975.825 1.8 1.8 1.8\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/gu-island><\/footer>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"block-6717798b8f084023ecf905e5\" class=\"block dcr-1os4bxs\">\n<header class=\"dcr-88va8u\"\/>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\"><strong>Democratic US vice-president Kamala Harris held a marginal 46% to 43% lead over Republican former president Donald Trump, with a glum electorate saying the country is on the wrong track, a new Reuters\/Ipsos poll found.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Harris\u2019 lead in the six-day poll, which closed on Monday, differed little from her 45% to 42% advantage over Trump in a Reuters\/Ipsos poll conducted a week earlier, reinforcing the view that the contest is extraordinarily tight with just two weeks left before the 5 November election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Reuters reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-154zxly\">\n<p><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 14\" style=\"fill:var(--block-quote-fill);\" class=\"dcr-scql1j\"><path d=\"M5.255 0h4.75c-.572 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941H0C.792 9.104 2.44 4.53 5.255 0Zm11.061 0H21c-.506 4.53-1.077 8.972-1.297 13.941h-8.686c.902-4.837 2.485-9.411 5.3-13.941Z\"\/><\/svg>Both polls showed Harris with a lead within the margin of error, with the latest poll showing her ahead just 2 percentage points when using unrounded figures.<\/p>\n<p>The new poll showed that voters have a dim view of the state of the economy and immigration \u2013 and they generally favour Trump\u2019s approach on these issues.<\/p>\n<p>Some 70% of registered voters in the poll said their cost of living was on the wrong track, while 60% said the economy was heading in the wrong direction and 65% said the same of immigration policy.<\/p>\n<p>Voters also said the economy and immigration, together with threats to democracy, were the country\u2019s most important problems.

I\u2019m Tom Ambrose and I\u2019ll be bringing you all the latest from the campaign trail, with polling day now just two weeks away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">We start with the news that <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> has urged <strong>Christian voters<\/strong> on Monday to participate in the 2024 election, claiming that a <strong>Kamala Harris<\/strong> administration would restrict religious freedoms and casting himself as a protector of Christians.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">During an event in <strong>North Carolina<\/strong> billed as an \u201c11th-Hour Faith Leaders Meeting\u201d, a series of conservative pastors warmed up for Trump, including <strong>Guillermo Maldonado<\/strong>, an \u201capostle\u201d and longtime Trump ally who cast the election in perilous terms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cYou know, we\u2019re now in spiritual warfare,\u201d said Maldonado, alluding to the idea that Christians are at war on the supernatural plane against dark forces that affect the real world. \u201cIt\u2019s beyond warfare between the left and the right. It\u2019s between good and evil. There\u2019s a big fight right now that is affecting our country and we need to take back our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Introducing Trump, Ben Carson, the campaign\u2019s National Faith Chairman for the 2024 election, openly rejected the idea of secular society.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThis election is about whether we are a secular nation or one nation under God,\u201d said Carson, echoing the aims of Christian nationalists who view the US as a Christian nation that must return to God.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">In other news:<\/p>\n<ul
