If you're just joining us, here are the latest developments in the race to the White House.
- Amy Coney Barrett has been confirmed as the new Supreme Court judge following a vote in the deeply divided Senate. Republicans overpowered Democrats to install President Donald Trump’s nominee days before the election and secure a likely conservative court majority for years to come. Barrett is 48, and her lifetime appointment as the 115th justice will solidify the court's rightward tilt.
- Joe Biden's running mate and US Democratic vice-presidential nominee Kamala Harris has condemned Barrett's confirmation, saying "it's despicable" Republicans "denied the will of the American people".
- Both Trump, Biden hit the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday (Monday US time), as the country's coronavirus death toll passed 225,000.
- President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden demonstrated starkly different approaches to rallying voters just eight days before polls close during the worst public health crisis in a century.
- Trump drew thousands of largely mask-less supporters to three rallies. Biden, taking a more cautious approach, greeted a few dozen supporters outside a Chester, Pennsylvania, campaign office.
- "Bottom line is Donald Trump is the worst possible person to lead us through this pandemic," Biden said.
- "We win Pennsylvania, we win the whole ballgame," Trump told thousands of his supporters at his third and final rally for the day in Martinsburg, where he promised to "make Pennsylvania the manufacturing capital of the world".
- Vice-President Mike Pence campaigned in Minnesota, after testing negative for coronavirus, his office said. Five of his senior aides, including his chief of staff, tested positive for the virus over the weekend.
- Biden will travel to Iowa and Wisconsin later this week, while Trump is heading to Michigan and Wisconsin in the midwest. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin voted for Barack Obama twice before flipping for Trump in 2016.
