The campaigning for the US presidential election is in full swing with only one day left.
Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and her Republican opponent Donald Trump are currently traveling to swing states in an effort to influence undecided voters. On Sunday, Harris traveled to Michigan, while Trump concentrated on North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.
A recent poll by the New York Times/Siena shows that Trump and Harris are evenly matched in Pennsylvania, with both receiving 48 percent of the vote.
U.S. Presidential Elections Set for Tomorrow, Tuesday.
Meanwhile, based on FiveThirtyEight’s National Polls tracker, Harris is currently ahead of Trump by a slim margin of 1 percentage point.
Nonetheless, the margin is decreasing, suggesting that both candidates have a good opportunity to win.
In crucial swing states, the rivalry is escalating, with candidates often switching their position based on the most recent polls.
Some of the crucial states where the election outcome will be closely contested are Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
Based on FiveThirtyEight’s daily tracker, Harris is currently ahead by a small margin in Michigan and Wisconsin, with leads of about 0.8 points and 0.6 points, respectively.
However, Trump is increasing his support in Arizona, where he currently holds a 2.5-point lead over Harris. In North Carolina and Georgia, he maintains a margin of around 1.5 points. Furthermore, Trump leads by 0.9 points in Nevada and has a narrow 0.3-point edge in the important state of Pennsylvania.
What was Harris doing on Weekend?
Harris visited Detroit for the first time, where she addressed a church gathering.
She is definitely attracting the African American voters in Michigan, an important swing state. Recent surveys indicate that she is falling behind, particularly among African American males. A lot of individuals we’ve talked to have mentioned that they do not plan on voting due to their lack of faith.
Later that day, Harris stated she had mailed in her ballot for the 2024 election, sending it to California. She carried on with her outreach in Michigan to secure the backing of Arab American voters.
I have made it very clear that the unacceptable levels of death among innocent Palestinian children are not justifiable. We must stop the war and rescue the hostages. “As the leader of the United States, I will use all available resources to make sure that goal is reached,” she stated.
Numerous Arab Americans, typically supporters of Democrats, have switched to the Republican nominee in this election due to widespread anger and frustration over US backing of Israel’s destructive war in Gaza.
In a recent poll by Arab News/YouGov, Trump was ahead of Harris with 45 percent compared to her 43 percent.
Kamala Harris is positioned on the stage at a political event in Michigan.
What was Trump doing on the Weekend?
The ex-president launched his campaign in Lititz, Pennsylvania stating he regretted his decision to not stay in the White House following his defeat in the 2020 election, as he still hasn’t accepted his loss.
The Republican nominee also went on a rant about the election process, alleging his rivals are putting in a lot of effort to unlawfully win. He also criticized the media harshly.
Trump mentioned the ballistic glass in front of him, stating, “I have this piece of glass here,” after an attempted assassination at a rally in July. “All we actually have here is misinformation.” To reach me, someone would have to penetrate the false information. And it doesn’t bother me much.
In Georgia, Trump criticized the Biden-Harris administration for their handling of immigrants and the economy. I am formally requesting the implementation of capital punishment.
On Sunday, he also mentioned to NBC News that he believes Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s suggestion of eliminating fluoride from public water is acceptable. Trump has suggested that Kennedy, who strongly supports baseless public health conspiracy theories, might be involved in shaping health policy in a potential future Trump administration.
Harris will attend a number of campaign events in Pennsylvania on the eve of the election in a swing state.
At a Get Out the Vote event in Philadelphia on Monday night, she will be accompanied by various celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, Just Blaze, and Oprah Winfrey.
Harris plans to also join D-Nice, Katy Perry, and Andra Day in campaigning in Pittsburgh.
In Pennsylvania, with its 19 Electoral votes, all attention is on what some consider the decisive moment in the race for the presidency.
FiveThirtyEight’s data suggests that the race in Pennsylvania is currently very close. In a recent survey conducted by Univision and YouGov, over 60 percent of Latino voters in Pennsylvania indicated that they intend to vote for Harris in the upcoming election.
Trump is scheduled to host a rally in North Carolina in the morning before heading to Pennsylvania for events in Reading, located west of Philadelphia, and in Pittsburgh.
He will finish the day with a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, aiming to rally his supporters to vote on November 5.
