Hurricane Milton threatens to overshadow the presidential election campaign as it threatens Florida.

The storm has already thrown Donald Trump’s schedule into disarray. He postponed a virtual event Tuesday night focused on health care and postponed a Univision town hall in Miami. He is scheduled to be in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.

Vice President Kamala Harris will virtually participate in a news conference about the storm and the federal response that President Joe Biden is hosting at the White House on Wednesday. Harris plans to travel to Nevada and Arizona on Thursday. She spent Tuesday in New York taping interviews for ABC’s “The View,” with radio host Howard Stern and for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

Here’s the latest:

Donald Trump returns to New York in the final leg of the race, planning a rally at the city’s iconic Madison Square Garden stadium.

Trump is planning his event for Oct. 27, opening the final week of the campaign, according to a campaign official familiar with the plans who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.

It will be Trump’s second rally in the city where he grew up, following a stop in the South Bronx in May.

Trump has claimed he believes he can win New York, even though it is an overwhelmingly Democratic state and the city even more so. But such an event is likely to attract outsized media attention.

The former president is also campaigning in other Democratic states this week, including California and Colorado.
