With only 11 weeks remaining until the election, the Democrats aim to bolster Harris's visibility and appeal as they prepare for a competitive race. In international news, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is traveling to the Middle East to facilitate cease-fire discussions amid ongoing Israeli strikes in Gaza. Following two days of negotiations in Doha, U.S. and Israeli officials expressed cautious optimism about reaching a deal. An Israeli delegation is also expected to meet with Egyptian officials in Cairo to further these discussions. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Ernesto, which was downgraded from hurricane status after impacting Bermuda, is projected to regain strength as it approaches Newfoundland, Canada. The storm's trajectory is being closely monitored as it poses potential risks to the region.
