With the US presidential election set for 5 November, the race between Vice-President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is intensifying. The election was upended in July when President Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris, making her the Democratic nominee.
Polling averages show Harris leading Trump nationally by a slim margin, but battleground states remain closely contested, with Pennsylvania emerging as a key state in determining the election’s outcome. Harris holds a narrow lead in states like Michigan and Wisconsin, crucial for a potential victory.
As election day nears, both candidates are ramping up their campaigns, with the race too close to call in pivotal states. Pollsters remain cautious, reflecting on past elections where Trump’s support was underestimated. The final days of the campaign will be decisive in shaping America’s political future—whether Harris becomes the first female president or Trump secures a second term.
