The candidates rounded out their last weekend on the campaign trail with an estimated 75 million voters having cast their ballots early. But when the results will be known is anyone’s guess.
With 41 million votes cast and just over a week until Election Day, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are pulling out all the stops in a furious race to the finish.
The former president’s Madison Square Garden rally featured speeches laden with untruths, racist, sexist and vulgar remarks, along with a dark vision for his second term should he be elected.
Democrats panicked last week as they watched the polls tighten and Trump gained ground on Harris in crucial battleground states. Now both campaigns are ramping up for a final two-week push to Election Day.
A flurry of new polling shows Harris and Trump in a dead heat, both nationally and in the handful of crucial swing states poised to decide the election.
Democrats feel optimistic heading into the final weeks of the presidential campaign, bolstered by powerful campaign events and prolific fundraising. For Republicans, the news hasn’t been as good.
Trump looks to wrest control of the spotlight ahead of the first in-person early votes cast this week in a handful of states, while Harris builds on the momentum of her strong debate performance.
