Analysis: High risk for Harris - chance for big reward
Televised debates play a major role in US presidential elections. And the debate on the night of Wednesday Swedish time between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump plays a bigger role than most others, writes the BBC's Anthony Zurcher in an analysis.
The debate is a chance for Kamala Harris, who is relatively unknown to many voters, to introduce herself to tens of millions of television viewers. But the occasion is not without risk as Harris could present an image of herself that damages her campaign. She has previously found it difficult to answer tough questions under pressure and did not want to be asked in interviews, writes Zurcher.
Axio's Alex Thompson also addresses the risk factor for Harris.
"For Vice President Harris, tonight's debate against Donald Trump is a high-risk, potentially high-reward opportunity that will test whether her reintroduction to voters can carry her to the White House," he writes.
Harris has an opportunity to reach many constituencies she needs to win. She must show that she is not "dangerously liberal" as Trump claims but a centrist politician. In addition, she must present herself as a candidate for change when Trump will claim that she is a voice of the past.

JD Vance spread rumor that immigrants eat pets
Several prominent Republicans, including Senator Ted Cruz and Donald Trump's running mate JD Vance, have played down rumors that Haitian immigrants eat pets. That's what CNN and several other American media outlets write.
The background is said to be a post in a local Facebook group where a user claimed that her neighbor's daughter's friend found her missing cat hanging from a branch at a Haitian neighbor's house, and that it was being prepared to be eaten.
The rumors were picked up by conservative media and then ran rampant on X, where they were widely circulated on Monday, according to CNN.
- Reports are now showing that people have had their pets abducted and eaten by people who should not be in this country. Where is our "border tsar"? says JD Vance in a video he posted on X.
Police in the Ohio city of Springfield, where the rumors originated, told NBC that there are no credible reports of Haitian immigrants harming pets.

Court: RFK Jr. can't withdraw from Michigan election
Robert Kennedy Jr. will remain on the ballot in the key swing state of Michigan, CNN reports. That after a decision from the state's highest court.
Kennedy has ended his own bid to be elected president and backed Donald Trump. He has since tried to have his name removed from the ballots so as not to attract votes from voters who might otherwise have voted for Trump.
Kennedy's lawyer Aaron Siri criticizes the court's decision, which he says "has nothing to do with election security".
"The goal is the opposite - that Michigan voters will unknowingly throw away their vote on a candidate who has withdrawn," he writes in a statement.
