Hi all. It's Rebecca Morin, senior national news reporter at USA TODAY. One day I'll catch up on all the TV shows I've added to my watchlist…

We're six days until Election Day. Polls are still showing a razor-thin election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The two candidates are jumping between several key swing states today. Follow along for all the election news here.

Harris breaks with Biden over 'garbage' comment about Trump's supporters

It was supposed to be Vice President Kamala Harris' night Tuesday. President Joe Biden said that himself. But a gaffe by the president caused Harris to spend Wednesday morning cleaning up Biden's comments where he appeared to refer to former President Donald Trump's supporters as "garbage." Harris said she strongly disagreed with "any criticism of people based on who they vote for," but noted Biden said he was only talking about insulting jokes at Trump's weekend NYC rally. Read more.

Harris on Tuesday evening delivered her "closing argument" to undecided voters where she laid out a contrast between her and Trump. She called on voters to "turn the page" on the former president – who she said is only concerned with retribution. She laid out her plans to lower costs for Americans, from the grocery store to health care.
From laying out how her presidency would differ from Biden to pitching a message of unity, here are the six takeaways from Harris' address.

But Biden wasn't the only person who is under fire for "garbage" comments.

Donald Trump on Tuesday held a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania – a city where almost half the population is Latino and many are Puerto Rican. Trump has tried to distance himself from jokes a comedian made at his Madison Square Garden rally calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage." But the former president didn't get a very warm welcome from Boricuas in Allentown.

Historian Allan Lichtman (still) predicts a Harris win

What does the crystal ball say? Or more like, what do the 13 keys say? Historian Allan Lichtman, who correctly predicted 9 of the last 10 presidential elections, still believes that Harris will win the Nov. 5 election. Read more.

Historian's election prediction system is *almost* always correct. Here's how it works.
