US election latest: Trump hits out at ‘jerk’ Obama after former president mocked his dancing

Donald Trump has lashed out at former president Barack Obama after he mocked his successor’s dancing at a rally earlier. Watch below as Mr Obama campaigns for Kamala Harris in Michigan. Listen to a Sky News podcast as you scroll.

That’s all for our live coverage of the US election for the night, but we’ll be back with more updates and analysis later.

If you’re just checking in, here is a recap of the key developments today.

Early voting opened in the key battleground state of Wisconsin, which Donald Trump lost by just under 21,000 votes in 2020.

The Harris campaign is concerned there are cracks in the “blue wall” states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, which have paved the path to the White House for the last two Democratic presidents.

The former president started the day by meeting Latino voters in Doral, Florida, discussing a wide range of topics – from immigration and energy, to his rival being “lazy as hell”.

A joint event with Robert F Kennedy Jr, who has endorsed him for president, was cancelled for reasons that were not shared publicly.

But he did speak later in the day at a rally in North Carolina at which he said Kamala Harris has “no right” to run for president (more here).

He also hit out at Barack Obama, describing his predecessor as “a real jerk” (more here – and watch that moment below).

The Trump campaign also filed a formal complaint with the US watchdog against the UK Labour Party alleging election interference and illegal foreign campaign contributions to aid the Harris campaign.
