With Election Day looming, the US presidential race is heating up, with Harris and Trump locked in a tight battle for the White House. Both candidates campaigned in the key swing state of North Carolina on Saturday, with the outcome in a few key states expected to decide the election.

The race remains close nationwide, with FiveThirtyEight’s latest poll tracker showing Harris ahead by a slim margin of 1 point, within the margin of error. However, a potential major shift in Iowa, a state Trump won in 2016 and 2020, could shake things up. A poll by the Des Moines Register and Mediacom shows Harris leading Trump by 3 points, gaining support from women, particularly older demographics and independent voters.

While Trump appears to be holding onto his base, the poll suggests he may be struggling to secure their full support.

Harris focused her message on young voters, urging them to head to the polls and fight for issues like gun violence and climate change. She also continued her attack on Trump, criticizing his lack of a comprehensive plan for the future.

Trump, meanwhile, continued his attacks on the media and immigration, repeating claims about Congolese migrants being sent from jail to the US, despite no evidence to support his claims.

The race for the presidency is expected to come down to the wire, with both candidates focusing their final days of campaigning on crucial swing states.
