Harris says Trump 'demeans' the presidency, Trump's McDonald's shift, and Stevie Wonder's serenade — the latest from the US election campaign trail

Election day is nearing as both presidential nominees ramp up their campaign activities.

Good afternoon and welcome back to another day on the presidential campaign trail.

From Monday we’ll be doing a daily wrap-up of events to make sure you’re caught up on the latest election developments.

In Monday's wrap, we take a look at Kamala Harris's latest interview, Donald Trump's brief stint as a McDonald's worker, and how Americans feel each candidate will handle a potential election loss.

Let's jump in.

Harris says Trump 'demeans' Americans

Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris said Donald Trump "demeans" the office of the presidency, after the Republican nominee referred to her as a "s*** vice president" during a rally in Pennsylvania.

During the rally Mr Trump also told the crowd to tell Ms Harris, "you've had enough", before allowing rally-goers to scream profanities about the vice president.

Ms Harris later responded to the incident in an interview with Reverend Al Sharpton on MSNBC, saying Mr Trump "should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States".

"He has not earned the right," she said. "He's not earned the right, and that's why he's going to lose.

"The president of the United States must set a standard, not only for our nation, but ... for the world.

"And what you see in my opponent, a former president ... it demeans the office."

Trump says he spoke to Israel's Netanyahu about drone strike

Touching down in Philadelphia, before he headed to McDonald's for his shift, Mr Trump was asked about his phone call with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu.

Mr Trump said the pair spoke about a drone strike Israeli authorities say was directed toward Mr Netanyahu's home.

"He told me that he was attacked at his village where he lives, a vacation area, and that he was attacked, but he was fine," Mr Trump told media on the tarmac.

Asked whether he believed Israel should attack Iran over the strike, Mr Trump said he told the Israeli leader: "You do what you have to do."

Kamala Harris was surprised on her 60th birthday by campaign staff on Air Force Two before departing Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.

Kamala Harris celebrated her 60th birthday on the campaign trail, surprised with a cake, cards and decorations by staff as she boarded Air Force Two.

She later visited two churches in Atlanta, Georgia as part of a nationwide push known as "souls to the polls" — joined by singer Stevie Wonder at one service, held at Divine Faith Ministries International in Jonesboro.

Wonder led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to the vice president, who appeared to choke up towards the end of the performance.

Ms Harris later said that she “had to check off a whole big one” on her bucket list because of the birthday song from Wonder, which prompted the singer to spring up and lead the congregation in a quick verse of ”Higher Ground."

Will Donald Trump accept the election result?

The Pew Research Centre has found voters don't believe Donald Trump will publicly acknowledge Kamala Harris as the winner if he loses the upcoming election.

The research organisation surveyed 5,110 adults between September 30 and October 6.

Almost all of Ms Harris's supporters (95 per cent) and about half of Trump supporters surveyed (48 per cent) believe Ms Harris will concede and accept the result.

Comparatively, only 4 per cent of Ms Harris's supporters surveyed expect Trump to acknowledge a Harris win, while 46 per cent of Trump supporters do.
