AFP, NEW YORK: American media says that more than 73 million early votes have already been cast, indicating that the enthusiasm surrounding the US presidential election is at its height.
According to the polls, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are in a close battle, with just one to two points separating them.
Trump presently holds the lead in five of seven states, including Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, which are important swing states.
Meanwhile, Harris leads in Wisconsin and Michigan.
With crucial states like Nevada and Pennsylvania in play, both candidates have an equal chance of winning, making the result more ambiguous as Election Day draws near.
Then, the nation and the globe may have to wait impatiently to see if Trump wins a dramatic comeback to power following his historic and occasionally violent effort to reverse his 2020 reelection loss to Joe Biden, or if Harris becomes the first American woman president.
The competitors practically met on Saturday when Trump’s private jet and Harris’s official vice presidential Air Force Two shared the Charlotte, North Carolina, airport tarmac.
Harris also addressed supporters in Georgia, one of the seven swing states seen to be crucial to winning an otherwise evenly matched national election, while both conducted rallies in North Carolina. Trump included a visit to Virginia.
As Trump rallies with supporters in Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania on Sunday, and Harris hosts several events in the swing state of Michigan, the rounds of high-stakes speeches in front of thousands of people at each site continue.
In the swing states, the majority of surveys place Trump (78) and Harris (60) within an error margin of one another.
But Harris received a surprise boost when one of the nation’s most reputable pollsters published a new survey in the Des Moines Register that puts the Democrat three points ahead of Trump in Iowa, a state he won handily in both his narrow 2020 loss and his successful 2016 presidential campaign.
