As Election Day looms just 48 hours away, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are targeting critical regions in a final effort to secure the presidency in one of the tightest races in modern U.S. history. Over 75 million Americans have cast their votes early, with polling averages showing an unprecedented number of states too close to call.
Harris is concentrating her campaign in Michigan, a Rust Belt state pivotal to Democratic success, rallying support in Detroit, Pontiac, and Michigan State University. Meanwhile, Trump is focusing on the electoral prizes of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, states that could tip the balance of power.
Trump’s campaign has faced backlash after a New York rally where warm-up speakers made controversial remarks alienating Hispanic and female voters. Meanwhile, Harris appeared on “Saturday Night Live,” alongside comedian Maya Rudolph, to counter Trump’s criticisms in a light-hearted sketch. Harris’s team has also aired a campaign ad promising unity and a brighter future, hoping to sway undecided voters.
Harris gained a crucial boost in the final pre-election poll from Iowa’s Des Moines Register, where she leads by three points in a state that had previously supported Trump. The race is now a high-stakes sprint to Election Day, with both candidates pressing hard to energize their bases and claim victory in this historic showdown.
