Donald Trump was barely defeated by Harris in six crucial swing states. According to recent polls, Vice President Harris is tied with former President Trump in Georgia and is leading him by a tiny margin in six other battleground states. Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin are among the states where the Democratic nominee leads Trump, according to a poll released late on Thursday by Bloomberg News/Morning Consult. In Nevada, Harris leads Trump by seven points (52% to 45%), and in Pennsylvania, Harris leads Trump by five points (51% to 46%). The vice president leads the Republican contender in Arizona and Michigan by three points, 50 percent to 47 percent. In Wisconsin, 51 percent to 48 percent, and North Carolina, 50 percent to 48 percent, her lead is far narrower.

Hurricane Helene caused dozens of deaths and billions of dollars of destruction across a wide swath of the southeastern U.S. as it raced through, and more than 3 million customers went into the weekend without any power and for some a continued threat of floods. Helene blew ashore in Florida's Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane late Thursday packing winds of 140 mph (225 kph) and then quickly moved through Georgia, the Carolinas and Tennessee, uprooting trees, splintering homes and sending creeks and rivers over their banks and straining dams. Western North Carolina was essentially cut off because or landslides and flooding that forced the closure of Interstate 40 and other roads. There were hundreds of water rescues, none more dramatic than in rural Unicoi County in East Tennessee, where dozens of patients and staff were plucked by helicopter from the roof of a hospital that was surrounded by water from a flooded river.

Thousands of people in the vicinity of a dam in Tennessee were evacuated Friday amid fears of a “catastrophic failure” from the adverse impacts of Hurricane Helene, but officials later clarified the structure hadn’t failed.

Nate Silver's latest election forecast indicates that national polls now favor Kamala Harris, with the vice president leading former President Donald Trump by three percentage points. The figures are 49.1 percent for Harris compared to Trump's 46.1 percent. In his update, Silver mentioned, “A lot of polling since our last update, and the model mostly liked it for Harris — especially the national polls, which show her lead expanding to an even 3 points.” He added, “Forecast still in toss-up range, but we’re at a point where you’d probably rather have Harris’s hand to play."
