The United States presidential race is heating up as Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, the Democratic and Republican nominees, respectively, make their final appeals to voters with just over two weeks left until November 5. National polls show Harris maintaining a narrow lead over Trump, but individual swing states like Arizona have seen Trump gaining ground. Harris, on the other hand, has been targeting Trump’s age, questioning his fitness for the job due to reports of exhaustion after a series of cancelled events. Trump, in turn, has renewed threats against his political rivals, comparing them to foreign adversaries and labelling them as “enemies from within.”
Harris has also been making media appearances, including a testy interview with Fox News where she was grilled on immigration policies. Meanwhile, she has been enlisting star power like Lizzo and Usher to drum up support for early voting in swing states. On the Republican side, running mate JD Vance has endorsed election denialism, sparking controversy by refusing to acknowledge Trump’s loss in the 2020 election.
With tensions high and the race neck and neck, both candidates are pulling out all the stops to sway voters in this critical election. The outcome remains uncertain as the candidates make their final push ahead of election day.
