Rebecca Morin Senior National News Reporter

@RebeccaMorin_

Hello hello! It's Rebecca Morin, senior national news reporter at USA TODAY. I really thought I would have time to watch *at least* one scary movie this Halloween season.

It's true: We're officially 14 days out from Election Day. So where do Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris stand in polls? Where will the candidates be today? We've got you covered with real-time updates on all that's happening with the election.

Planning to vote? Check out USA TODAY's guide to the 2024 election

We're really just two weeks out until Nov. 5. Some voters (like myself ) may have already cast a ballot. But others may be waiting for Election Day to hit the polls. Some voters may also still have questions on who to vote for – not just in the presidential election but for congressional candidates on the ballot in their own states. Well guess what? USA TODAY has broken down everything you need to know about the 2024 election. Read more.

Where do Harris and Trump stand on key issues – from the economy to health care and foreign policy? We break it down for you here, in their own words. 
Who is on the down-ballot races in each state? We lay it out for you here.
Watch: Voting by mail this election year? Here's how it works.

A politics pit stop

Trump extends betting lead amid interview cancellations and Democrats questioning his age
What one new poll says: Harris holds 46%-43% lead over Trump amid voter gloom
MAGADonald's? Trump campaign is selling t-shirts off fast-food visit
Kamala Harris talks election stress: I'm 'not eating gummies'
Federal appeals court upholds trespassing charge used in hundreds of Jan. 6 prosecutions

Donald Trump has promised a 'mass deportation.' But what would that cost?

If he makes it back to the White House, Donald Trump has vowed to crack down on immigration – including carrying out a "mass deportation" of at least 11 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. Almost half – 45% of Americans – said they support the action, according to a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll. But what would it cost? Billions of dollars. Read more.

You Asked, On Politics Answers: Who will certify results?

I've gotten many questions on whether lawmakers will certify the election. What happens to officials who decline to certify? Is there is punishment for those who do not? One reader, Cody Cheney, of Washington state, wants to know would Kamala Harris would certify the election, even if she wins?

The answer is simple: Yes, Harris will probably certify the election results. But this is not a unique scenario. Then-Vice President George H.W. Bush certified the 1988 presidential election results, which he won. And vice presidents who lost their own presidential elections have also certified the results: Al Gore in 2001 and Richard Nixon in 1961.
