Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are running out of time to convince voters they’re the best candidate to vote for in the 2024 presidential election.
Harris and Trump have been neck and neck in polls in recent weeks. The two and their running mates, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) and Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), have ramped up their public appearances in the final days of the campaign, barnstorming battleground states and taking part in media blitzes.
Abortion rights, inflation, extremism, immigration and more — the stakes have never been higher. Catch up on critical 2024 election updates here.
Candidates up and down the ballot are making their final pitches. Control of the House and Senate is at stake, and state and local politicians around the nation are making eleventh-hour arguments for a win.
Read the latest updates on the election below.
Harris will spend the final day of the 2024 campaign in Pennsylvania, the swing state with the highest number of Electoral College votes. After joining a canvass kickoff in Scranton, the vice president will headline a rally in Allentown. Harris will then deliver remarks in Pittsburgh, where she will be joined by artists D-Nice, Katy Perry and Andra Day. She will hold her final rally before Election Day in Philadelphia, where Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and Oprah Winfrey are among the guests expected to appear.
Walz will host a meet and greet in St. Paul, Minnesota, before traveling to Wisconsin to hold campaign events in La Crosse, Stevens Point and Milwaukee. He will then head to Michigan, where he is scheduled to speak at a Detroit rally.
Trump is due to travel to three battleground states: North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan. The former president will start the day at a rally in Raleigh before holding two other events in Reading and Pittsburgh. Trump will close the day with a rally in Grand Rapids, the city where he close to deliver the closing message of his campaign in his past two presidential runs.
Vance will headline a rally in La Crosse, Wisconsin, before traveling to Michigan for another event in Flint. Later, he will deliver remarks at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, before making his final appearance of the day in Newtown, Pennsylvania.
Research by Focaldata, a British company that uses a different polling technique, shows Vice President Kamala Harris narrowly beating Donald Trump in the presidential race, Politico reported.
The MRP — which stands for “multilevel regression and post-stratification” — poll of 31,000 voters shows Harris victories in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The research suggests that standard election pollsters may be giving the impression that Trump is stronger than he really is.
During an appearance on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R) criticized President Joe Biden for apparently referring to Trump’s supporters as “garbage” last week.
The Trump ally, though, did not share similar concerns about the former president previously calling the people around Harris “scum” and “garbage.”

The Harris campaign welcomed the findings of the last Des Moines Register poll of Iowa which showed the Democratic candidate leading Trump by three percentage points in a state he carried twice. However, her team warned against getting overly excited about it, noting that it is merely a reflection of the energy Harris’ candidacy is generating on the ground.
“We are seeing that we’re closing strong,” a Harris official told reporters, according to Politico. “I would not read into it any more than that.”
The New York Times this weekend used just one paragraph to sum up why GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump is totally unfit to return to the White House.
