Im Jim Acosta in for fredricka whitfield. We begin this hour on the president ial Campaign Trail. Now, just about a month away from Election Day in both campaigns revving up their supporters, appealing to undecided voters in key Battleground States during this final critical stretch of the race, voting already underway across several states and polls showing there it is again, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump locked in basically a dead heat at this point, their campaigns now navigating several big News Stories that could obviously shape the outcome of this election from the war in the Middle East to the devastating aftermath of helene another storm on the way to the florida Gulf Coast, apparently in a surprisingly strong jobs report that just came out at The End of this week. But lets start in battleground, pennsylvania, where in the next couple of hours, former President Donald Trump will take the stage In The City of butler at the site of his first Assas

Jesse at Least Kamala can breathe a sigh of relief on that crippling Port Strike for now. Dockworkers are back on the job after three days of walking the pi
