In today’s edition, we break down our latest poll showing how Gen Z voters are viewing the presidential race in the final days. And among young voters who say they will vote in the presidential election in November, Harris leads 56%-36%, a 20-point advantage. Within Gen Z, though, there are notable divisions among different groups — and the gender gap is particularly significant. Men (46%) were more likely to say Trump has the right temperament to serve as president, compared with women (30%).

Donald Trump pumps his fist as he is rushed offstage during a rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13. "Kamala has failed over the last four years and only President Donald J. Trump can fix the problems that are facing our nation," Trump campaign senior adviser Danielle Alvarez said in a statement of the closing argument. “Under Harris’ time in the White House, our nation’s strength has been squandered," a Trump campaign adviser said. But there's a tension between the focus Trump’s campaign has kept on those issues and his desire to wander into different territory. Only President Trump cut middle-class taxes, and only President Trump will do it again.”Brad Todd, a Republican strategist who isn’t working for Trump, said the spot "does a great job of channeling the overarching current that can push him over the line" by arguing that "America's on the wrong track and you can't keep the same people in charge."

But during that time, Netanyahu was soliciting input from Trump, the Republican nominee. Trump claimed during a rally in Georgia that Netanyahu had called him at least twice in recent days.

It's a dynamic that has forced many election officials out of the industry, while those who remain have taken in some cases dramatic steps to protect poll workers and voters ahead of Election Day. Some poll workers are also receiving pay bumps as incentives to stay on through a stressful voting period. In interviews, county and state election officials shared details of security plans with NBC News. The county allocated money for so-called panic buttons that would allow election workers to quickly contact authorities in emergencies.

☆ Mark Cuban says 'It's the Harris campaign vs. Elon,' not Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning for president against Elon Musk at least as much as she is against former President Donald Trump, Mark Cuban said Monday, as he advocated for the Democratic nominee as the pro-business choice. "It's the Harris campaign versus Elon, not even versus Trump," the billionaire investor and former "Shark Tank" host said on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Cuban's remarks were the latest volley between the two billionaires, who have taken on increasingly prominent campaign roles while ramping up attacks against each other. Asked for his view on the latest polls, which broadly show a neck-and-neck race between Harris and Trump, Cuban said, "Nobody really knows, and so really it comes down to get out the vote." "And the crazy thing is, it's the Harris campaign versus Elon, not even versus Trump," said Cuban.

As Election Day approaches, the campaigns are putting significant time and attention toward courting Black men, seen as a crucial — and potentially movable — voting bloc in a tight presidential race. However, that number drops to 68% for Black men under 50, compared to 21% who support Trump. “It’s very important to not operate from the assumption that Black men are in anybody’s pocket,” she said during an interview with the National Association of Black Journalists in September. For Trump’s part, efforts to reach Black men voters through campaign surrogates or Trump himself have lessened in recent months. Bartell also pointed to Kevin Cooper, a Black man on death row for killing a white family, as well as marijuana convictions of Black men.

At a Senate online child safety hearing in January, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized to parents who said Instagram contributed to their children’s suicides or exploitation.

Chinese electric vehicle maker Xpeng remains committed to Europe for the long term despite pressure it faces from the European Union's tariffs, according to a top company official. Reflecting on the EU's decision to adopt higher tariffs on Chinese EV imports, Gu said that this has put "a lot of pressure" on its business model. He didn't confirm whether Xpeng plans to pass the costs of tariffs on to its customers.

The development was a major blow to the Chinese EV industry, which has been making significant inroads into Europe over the last several years.

CNN —North Korea is sending its citizens to help Russia’s military fight Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has said, increasing concerns about the alliance between Moscow and the secretive state. In his daily video message on Sunday, the Ukrainian president said: “We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea. It is actually about transferring people from North Korea to the occupying military forces.”Zelensky’s allegation comes amid an increasingly friendly relationship between Moscow and Pyongyang. Russian President Vladimir Putin visited North Korea in June – the first visit of its kind for more than two decades – and Western observers have wondered how heavily North Korea has assisted Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “We believe that the possibility of further deployment of regular troops is very high, as Russia and North Korea have entered a mutual agreement that is almost equivalent to a military alliance.
