Read full article: Both presidential campaigns prioritize Michigan ahead of Election DayMICHIGAN โ With the presidential election less than a week away, candidates from both sides are focusing their campaigning efforts on a number of key states, including Michigan.

Vice president Mike Pence was in Flint Wednesday. Dr. Jill Biden visited multiple Michigan towns Thursday on behalf of her husband, former vice president Joe Biden; and Eric and Tiffany Trump made their own stops on behalf of their father, president Donald Trump. Trump will visit Oakland County Friday and Biden will be joined Saturday by former president Barack Obama in Michigan.

Read full article: Vice President Pence campaigns in Flint on WednesdayFLINT, Mich. โ With the presidential election less than a week away, candidates from both sides are focusing their campaigning efforts on a number of key states, including Michigan. On Wednesday Vice President Mike Pence stopped in Flint to deliver remarks to a crowd of several hundred people, who waited three hours or more to see him. During his speech, Pence focused his attention on the economy -- which some attendees say is part of the reason they support Penceโs and President Donald Trumpโs reelection. Both Trumpโs and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Bidenโs campaigns believe Michigan is up for grabs this November, and theyโre pouring in both money and time by the bucketful. Both candidates and surrogates for their campaigns will be stopping in Michigan all throughout the next week, leading into Election Day on November 3.

Putin sends a mixed message on US election, hedging his bets
Read full article: Putin sends a mixed message on US election, hedging his betsMOSCOW โ Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday decried what he called Joe Bidenโs โsharp anti-Russian rhetoricโ but praised the Democratic presidential nomineeโs comments on arms control. While Putin again denied meddling in the U.S. election, U.S. intelligence officials believe Russia is using a variety of measures to denigrate Biden and that individuals linked to the Kremlin are boosting Trumpโs reelection bid. The U.S.-Russian talks on extending the pact have produced no visible progress, and Russian diplomats said that chances for making a deal with the Trump administration look slim. โThis is a very serious element of our potential collaboration in the future,โ Putin said, speaking on his 68th birthday. He added that Russia would be ready to work with any future U.S. president.

He appeared to be breathing heavily Monday evening after climbing stairs on his return to the White House.
