Vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez streamed themselves playing an American football video game against each other on Sunday as the two Democrats continued their party's efforts to secure votes from young men just nine days before the White House election.

During the stream of their showdown on the latest edition of the Madden game series, Ocasio-Cortez and Walz exalted the importance of regaining Democratic control of the US House, maintaining a majority in the Senate and ensuring Kamala Harris wins the 5 November presidential election against Donald Trump.
