Election Day is nearly upon us, drive-thru Texas votes, Johnny Depps libel suit: 5 things to know Monday – USA TODAY

Tomorrow is Election Day One day before the most anticipated presidential election in recent history, President Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden plan to make their final push for votes on Monday. Trump has another long day ahead, revisiting North Carolina and Michigan, and also making stops in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

Kamala Harris, will “fan out across all four corners” of Pennsylvania on Monday, according to the campaign. The state is among the most important of a half-dozen battlegrounds because its 20 electoral college votes could be the decisive tipping point for either candidate to reach the 270 need...

When exactly William was infected is unclear. The Sun newspaper, which broke the story, said that he took a seven-day break from calls and video messages from April 9 to April 16.

That said, some strategists point to this month’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting, which will take place on November 4-5, as potentially helping to reassure investors. Should more liquidity be provided, stocks could gain in the mid to long-term, even if there’s no additional stimulus. What’s more, the pros argue the recent ...
