Kamala Harris will be joined by Oprah Winfrey on Thursday evening in Michigan for a major campaign fundraiser with an expected 200,000 people joining online as well as an in-studio audience.
The “Unite for America” live stream event starts at 8pm ET.
Meanwhile, the latest AP/NORC poll shows Harris pulling ahead of Donald Trump as the candidate of whom voters have a more positive view.
Specifically, the vice president scores higher on where she is “tough enough to be president”, “would change the country for the better”, and “would fight for people like you”.
The former president meanwhile scores highest on “will say anything to win the election”.
Trump delivered his latest rally in Uniondale on Long Island, New York, on Wednesday, pledging to “bring back religion” to thank God for saving his life, and asking New Yorkers to vote for him by saying: “What the hell do you have to lose?”
The Republican nominee also pledged to visit Springfield, Ohio, after he and running mate JD Vance spread a bogus story about Haitian immigrants stealing and eating residents’ pets, inspiring a spate of bomb threats.
‘I choose experience and fortitude over something else’
Khalil Thompson, the founder of “Win With Black Men,” said on Thursday night that “brothers, men who are watching this and enjoying this moment, you have a choice. I choose experience and fortitude over something else. I come from a litany of amazing Black women.”
“We have a chance to do a performance review and give a promotion to the best-qualified candidate to be president United States,” he added.

Tim Walz is out to teach Trump a lesson as he trials election attack lines on the road
Comfortable in khakis and an open collar, Walz couldn’t be more different from JD Vance, the awkward man in a boxy suit and an overly long tie. Instead of talking about ‘threats to democracy’, Harris’s running-mate made a football analogy about January 6th — and it went down a storm.

Trump can start selling his nearly $2bn worth of shares in his media company… But will he?
The GOP nominee and other large shareholders in Trump Media & Tech Group were released at 4pm on Thursday from a lockup agreement that barred them from selling their stock for six months after it was offered. The agreement has been in place since March, when the company went public following a merger, so long as shares traded at $12 or above, Forbes reported.
