Harris and Trump hoping to court Latino voters with visits to western states

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are both looking to win round Hispanic voters with trips today to Nevada - the smallest of the seven swing states expected to decide the US election next week.

Nearly a third of Nevada's population is Hispanic and while the voters have historically been an area of strength for Democrats, Mr Trump has been gaining ground among the US Latino population.

Singer Jennifer Lopez will speak at Ms Harris's rally in Las Vegas, while Mr Trump will also hold a rally to the southeast of the city in Henderson.

The Republican and Democratic nominees will also appear at events in Arizona, which has a large share of Latino voters.

It comes after Mr Trump's rally in New York on Saturday sparked outrage when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage".

Joe Biden caused a stir with his response to the comedian's remarks, as he appeared to refer to Mr Trump's supporters as "garbage".

Ms Harris, meanwhile, has tried to limit the damage, saying she "will be a president for all Americans".

Biden jokingly bites baby during White House Halloween party

Joe Biden raised a few eyebrows after jokingly biting a baby on the leg while hosting families at the White House annual Halloween event.

Up to 8,000 people, including students and children tied to the military, were invited to the event yesterday.

At one point the president met a mother who had dressed her baby in a chicken costume - and bent down to give the baby a playful bite on the leg.

Social media had a mixed reaction, with some seeing it as amusing while others said it was "bizarre".
