Summary
Mark Stone is in Michigan, where Arab-American voters are a key demographic seemingly swinging towards Trump. Some in the community feel abandoned by the Democrats because of their approach to Gaza, and as the consequence of a gradual leftward creep by the party away from socially conservative values.
And what happens when you have a candidate who fought to overturn the result of the last US election, who is already claiming his opponents are cheating at this one, and whose supporters are challenging the process through the courts? Our correspondent James Matthews is in Atlanta, Georgia, to find out.
Plus, Martha Kelner looks at why billionaire Elon Musk is awarding some registered voters a million dollars.
