The US election race is heating up. 

A month ago, after the Republican National Convention and a failed assassination attempt, it seemed like Donald Trump would be unstoppable.

Today on The Front Page, we’re joined from Detroit by CBS News campaign reporter Jake Rosen for the latest on the election to watch this year.
