As the presidential election draws near, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump have intensified their efforts to sway undecided voters in key battleground states. Both candidates have been focusing on the Sun Belt region in their final weekend of campaigning. Trump has been emphasizing the need to bring back the “American Dream” and has warned supporters that if Harris wins, every town in America will become a dangerous refugee camp. Meanwhile, Harris has been urging her supporters to vote early and has promised to offer new leadership if elected as president.
Trump has been predicting a landslide victory, claiming that he will not only win the Electoral College but also the popular vote. Despite this, both candidates are engaging in a final, frenzied push to encourage people to vote early or on Election Day. The University of Florida’s Election Lab has reported record numbers of early voters, exceeding the previous totals from the 2016 and 2012 elections. Harris also plans to air a two-minute spot during NFL games to further appeal to voters.
Former President Joe Biden, who has been campaigning on behalf of Harris and running mate Tim Walz, recently made a campaign stop in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Both Biden and Trump have been delivering impassioned speeches, with Biden criticizing Trump’s policies and Trump reflecting on his nearly decade-long campaign. As the final days of the election approach, the focus has shifted to key swing states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which are expected to determine the outcome of the election.
Many pollsters, including 538 who Euronews is using for election data, are predicting a close race between Harris and Trump. Harris is currently polling at 48% while Trump is just under 47%. The intense campaigning and rallies by both candidates and their supporters reflect the high stakes of this election, with enthusiasm among Americans contributing to record numbers of early voters. As the candidates make their final appeals to undecided voters, the outcome of the election remains uncertain, with the results likely to hinge on the results in key swing states.
