President Donald Trump has a final shot at making his case for re-election before a vast audience of Americans when he faces off against challenger Joe Biden in the last televised debate before Election Day.
-Former President Barack Obama, stumping for Biden, made a scathing attack on Trump’s record in office.
-U.S. intelligence agencies say Iran and Russia have tried to interfere in the 2020 Presidential Election.
-Biden’s plan to raise corporate taxes would have a modest impact on profits at the big U.S. banks and probably not before 2022, analysts say.
-Republicans scored legal victories on election rules when the Supreme Court allowed Alabama to ban curbside voting and an Iowa court upheld a rule making it harder to fix problems with absentee ballot requests less than two weeks before the election.
-Lawyers at Jones Day, a firm that has earned millions of dollars as outside counsel to Trump’s re-election campaign, have donated nearly $90,000 to Biden’s campaign since last year compared to $50 to Trump’s campaign, according to Federal Election Commission data.

-As Trump has pulled the United States inward under his “America First” presidency, China has had only halting success at capitalising on a global leadership vacuum, presenting openings for a more internationalist Biden administration if he wins the White House.
