Harris, Trump enter the homestretch of a tight US election
Kamala Harris targeted the Rust Belt while Donald Trump hit the biggest US swing states Sunday in a frantic last push, less than 48 hours before Election Day in the historically close campaign. Over 75 million people have cast early ballots ahead of Tuesday's climax and the race is down to the wire -- with more states tied in polls at this point than in any comparable election. One poll showed Harris ahead in the heavy GOP state of Iowa. Neither candidate has a margin greater than three points in any of the seven battleground states set to determine the presidency.

Striking Boeing workers ready to vote on latest proposal
Striking workers at Boeing will vote today on the latest contract proposal to end a walkout that has dragged on for more than seven weeks. The vote by 33,000 machinists could pave the way for production to resume at factories that build the 737 MAX and 777 aircraft after workers voted down two previous offers. The strike has added to Boeing's woes amid heightened regulatory scrutiny of production and quality control following safety lapses.
WHY THE LATEST PROPOSAL COULD BE A DEAL-MAKER

US fines chipmaker for using blacklisted Chinese company
The U.S. fined a chipmaker $500,000 for selling $17.1 million in microchips to a blacklisted Chinese company. GlobalFoundries sent 74 shipments to SJ Semiconductor, which is partly owned by the Chinese government and has been accused by the U.S. of ties to China's military industrial complex. In February, it signed a $1.5 billion deal in funding under Biden's CHIPS and Science Act.

Harris makes body-double showing on 'SNL'

"Saturday Night Live's" audience went wild when long-time Kamala Harris character Maya Rudolph met the real Harris as she gave herself a pep talk three days before the Big Day. The big surprise occurred as Rudolph was confiding to herself in a mirror that she wished she could speak with someone "who has been in my shoes, a Black, South Asian woman running for president, preferably from the Bay Area." The real Harris responded from the other side of the mirror. "It is nice to see you Kamala. I'm just here to remind you, you got this." The first lines were nearly drowned out by the cheers and applause of the audience.
