"It's a squeaker": How are the candidates faring as the US Election looms?

The rubber has hit the road in the US Election.  

Just one month out from voting, the debates have been wrapped up and the only thing left is for the candidates to continue campaigning.  

It’s a tight race, with Kamala Harris maintaining a narrow lead in key battleground states. 

Former US Correspondent Nick Bryant told Mike Hosking that Harris has turned out to be a better candidate than many expected. 

He said that while there has been some mixed messaging and Harris has some weaknesses, she is a strong candidate. 

Trump is also struggling with messaging, Bryant says. 

The former President doesn’t seem to be as strong a candidate as he was in 2016, and he’s not as sharp or articulate as he used to be.
