WASHINGTON (AP) — As the 2024 presidential contest speeds to its conclusion, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are embracing wildly different strategies. Both are racing to energize the coalitions they need to win the presidency on Nov. 5. Trump’s team has largely abandoned traditional efforts to target moderate voters in the final days before the election. His campaign is focusing instead on his base of fiery partisans and low-propensity voters — especially young men — with tough talk at rallies and media appearances. Harris, meanwhile, is leaning into a more traditional all-of-the-above playbook. She’s targeting the narrow slice of undecided voters that remain, especially moderates, college-educated suburbanites, and women of all races and education levels.

A federal judge has ordered Rudy Giuliani to turn over his New York City apartment and various other assets to two Georgia election workers who won a $148 million defamation judgment against him. Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan issued the ruling Tuesday. The former New York City mayor must hand over his Manhattan apartment, more than two dozen watches, sports memorabilia and a 1980 Mercedes to Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss. They won a lawsuit over Giuliani’s false ballot fraud claims against them during the 2020 presidential election. Giuliani’s lawyers say they’re confident he will win his appeal of the defamation verdict and get his property back.

EVERETT, Wash. (AP) — It’s a big day for Boeing. The big aircraft manufacturer will report third-quarter financial results Wednesday. Then company officials will wait to learn whether striking workers are going back to their jobs. Boeing has already signaled that it will post a big loss for the third quarter. It’s less clear whether members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers will approve a new contract offer from the company. Or if they’ll reject the offer of 35% pay increases over four years and remain on strike. Results of the vote are expected Wednesday night.

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Secretary of State Antony Blinken says Israel needs to pursue an “enduring strategic success” after its tactical victories against Hamas. On Wednesday he urged it to seek a deal that would end the war in the Gaza Strip and bring back dozens of hostages. He spoke before traveling from Israel to Saudi Arabia on his 11th visit to the region since the outbreak of the war. Air raid sirens sounded in Tel Aviv shortly before his departure as Israel intercepted two projectiles fired from Lebanon, and a puff of smoke could be seen in the sky from Blinken’s hotel. There has been no sign of a breakthrough in cease-fire talks since the killing of top Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar last week.

PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – The Pennsylvania Game Commission is asking for rabbit hunters to help track a contagious virus. Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus 2 is highly contagious and poses a threat to the state’s rabbits and hares. The Game Commission says it can cause mass die-offs, between 75 and 100% of local populations. There is no treatment for the disease and it can remain on the landscape for months. Early detection is the best way to stop the spread. Anyone who finds two or more dead hares or rabbits at the same location is asked to report it by calling 1-833-PGC-WILD or the Game Commission’s online wildlife health survey.
