Great to be nominated in the RTS breaking news category. As part of the Butler team on the ground it's fantastic that this award recognises the incredible support and coverage from back at base too.

It's unusual in an election year to return to the same place but today's Trump's return rally in Butler, Pa. This time with bulletproof glass & Corey's firefighter's jacket in the bleachers instead of him. Both an emotional & triumphant day for this strongly Republican community

@David_Paul_B All good- it's the lingo but essentially a space in the media space where representatives of the candidate make themselves available for media interviews to 'spin' the narrative that their candidate 'won' the debate. Normally you leave it to those supporters to make your case

In case anyone else is a big kid like me, this is the volume of balloons that will drop tonight after Kamala Harris' speech at the DNC. They have been there throughout the week. Glad it's not someone's overnight job

Exactly a week on from events last weekend we are at the Donald Trump rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The approx. 12,000 strong crowd roars the new chant 'fight, fight, fight.' Some tell us Trump is back 'bigger and better than ever.'

Here’s my view of what happened in Pennsylvania last night. Just my impressions as one reporter at one point in time.
