Sky News contributor Joe Hildebrand says the more people see Kamala Harris the “less they like her”. “The Fox interview happened with Kamala and ever since the betting market has just taken a plunge for Trump,” Mr Hildebrand said. “I think Kamala Harris the more people see her the less they like her, she still seems to be someone staggering around in the middle of this kind of weird word salad trying tog et her hands on an idea or policy and she just doesn’t have either."

Former Queensland premier Campbell Newman says the Miles government promising free school lunches if they are elected is “desperation” from Labor. “Here’s the deal, the promise is to provide a school lunch for every primary school child in Queensland … it’s a massive logistics exercise,” Mr Newman told Sky News Australia. “Surely people get that if you bring some children into the world, it’s your responsibility to feed them.”

Kamala Harris has had a shocker of a week and it was made so much worse by the fact that Donald Trump is only getting stronger and more popular in the lead up to the election. Both presidential hopefuls have been zipping across the country, partaking in interviews and rallies but their performances couldn’t be any more different. As Kamala Harris crumbled on Fox News, Donald Trump flexed his might and thrashed Bloomberg during a live interview. Sky News All Stars Gabriella Power, Rita Panahi and Douglas Murray take a look at the last few days on the campaign trail that punctuate the demise of Kamala Harris and the continued rise of Donald Trump.

Sky News host Rita Panahi has declared Kamala Harris and the Democrats are in "full panic mode" with black men abandoning the party ahead of the critical US election.

Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham says there needs to be a "concerted effort" into the next step in terms of providing "stability" and "security guarantees". Hamas leader and October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. "Many of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders have been eliminated in recent times and clearly that does have an impact on the capacity of those organisations," Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. "There obviously needs to be a concerted effort into what comes next, in terms of how you provide stability and provide for the type of security guarantees that are necessary to secure a lasting peace. "It's why we [the Coalition] have been critical of some of the naive statements from the Albanese government ... to have a premature approach to a two-state solution."

Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham says “hopefully” the death of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar can be a “turning point” in the conflict in the Middle East. Hamas leader and October 7 mastermind Yahya Sinwar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. “The death of Yahya Sinwar sees a vicious flame of terrorism extinguished from the Middle East,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. “Hopefully, his death can be a turning point and we would love to see Hamas agree to release all hostages, to surrender its remaining terrorist infrastructure and create the environment for a ceasefire and steps towards peace and greater peace in the Middle East.”
