US Elections 2024: Harris, Trump make last ditch effort to get votes
Al Jazeera :
The race is still too close to call between Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump, with only two days to go until Election Day.
Harris is holding several rallies in Michigan, while Trump is jumping between Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia – all crucial swing states.
Trump visited Virginia and North Carolina on Saturday, while Harris was also in North Carolina, and made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live in New York City.
The national polls are tightening even further. Harris is now only ahead by one point, within the margin of error.
The Democratic candidate will zero in on the battleground state of Michigan, part of the Midwestern “Blue Wall” that is expected to be her best path to victory.
Harris will give her first remarks at a Black church in Detroit, before visiting a barbershop in the city of Pontiac.
She will finish the day with a rally at Michigan State University in East Lansing at 6:30pm (23:30 GMT).
The Republican candidate will dash through the East Coast today, hitting three crucial battleground states: Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina.
Trump is focusing on smaller cities in an effort to rally an important base of his: rural voters.
His first stop is in Lititz, Pennsylvania at 10am (15:00 GMT).
Trump will then head back to North Carolina, where he spent much of his time yesterday, holding a rally at 2pm (19:00 GMT) in the eastern town of Kinston.
His last rally will be at 6:30pm (23:30 GMT) in the city of Macon, Georgia, where he is expected to address inflation and immigration, local media reports.
What do the polls say?
Polls in the seven battleground states likely to determine the US election are bracingly close.
