@RebeccaMorin_

Hi! It's Rebecca Morin, senior national news reporter at USA TODAY. Counting down the days until I go to Texas for the holidays to check out the No. 1 taco in the state.

In the meantime, we're 13 days out from Election Day. Where will the candidates be today? Republican Donald Trump will be in Georgia and Democrat Kamala Harris will be in Pennsylvania. Follow along for live updates on the 2024 election here.

Harris v. Trump poll: Americans trust the election count … but worry about violence

So, what happens after the results? The presidential election between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris is razor thin. A new USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll found most Americans are confident the election will be accurate, but there are fears of violence. Read more.

80% of voters said they are "very" or "somewhat" confident that the election will be accurately counted and reported, the poll found.
On accepting election results: Harris voters by an overwhelming 88% to 7% said they were prepared to accept the results of the election as fair and accurate. If Trump loses, his backers by 61% to 24% said they would accept the results.
Two-thirds of those surveyed are "very" or "somewhat" concerned about the possibility of political violence on or after Election Day. Only 31% are "not very" or "not at all" concerned.

Ex-White House chief of staff sees 'fascist' traits in Trump

Former White House chief of staff John Kelly accused former President Donald Trump of having no understanding of the Constitution or the rule of law during an interview with The New York Times. Kelly served as Trump's secretary for the Department of Homeland Security before becoming Trump's longest-serving chief of staff. Read more.

Kamala Harris on Wednesday accused Trump of wanting "unchecked power" – seizing on Kelly's remarks.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday responded to a question whether President Joe Biden believes Trump is a fascist: "Yes…The former president has said he's going to be a dictator on day one. We cannot ignore that."

Nearly 72% of respondents said that they had not seen Harris on a podcast and 77.5% said that they had not seen a Trump podcast appearance. Read more.
