In his new book 'War', Bob Woodward reveals that Donald Trump had up to seven private phone calls with Vladimir Putin after leaving office and even sent COVID-19 test machines to him during the pandemic.

Putin reportedly requested that Trump keep this gesture confidential to avoid any political backlash in the United States.

Vice President Kamala Harris expressed concern over Trump's priorities, questioning why he would prioritize a foreign leader over the American people during a crisis.

Harris has faced criticism from the left for courting Republican voters, with accusations of neglecting Arab-American voters amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.

Despite these criticisms, Harris is making inroads with Republican voters, with a recent poll indicating that 9% of typical Republican voters support her candidacy.

President Biden has expressed skepticism about the peacefulness of the upcoming election, citing Trump's past rhetoric and the January 6 Capitol riot.

The 2024 election is marked by unprecedented challenges, including widespread disinformation and public distrust in the voting process.

Harris has proactively countered Trump's claims, asserting that his focus is more on political gain than on the needs of those affected by recent hurricanes.

Hurricane Helene, which struck in late September, has negatively impacted Harris's campaign, causing over 200 deaths and $40 billion in damages.

Amid these challenges, the economy remains the primary issue for likely voters, overshadowing concerns about abortion and immigration.

Following the September debate, Harris's odds of winning peaked at 52.3%, while Trump's dropped to 46.4%, but current odds show Trump at 53% and Harris below 47%.

On the Israel-Hamas conflict, Harris acknowledged progress towards a ceasefire but emphasized that it should not be celebrated until finalized.
