With the U.S. election just hours away, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump raced through key swing states to rally support. Harris focused on Michigan, addressing voters disillusioned by the U.S. response to the Gaza conflict and courting critical Arab-American support. She assured attendees at Michigan State University, “As president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza.” Harris then rallied her audience, saying, “We have momentum — it’s on our side,” and encouraged citizens to vote in the final stretch before Election Day.
Meanwhile, Trump intensified his campaign across Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Georgia, pushing an aggressive message. In Lititz, Pennsylvania, Trump made controversial remarks suggesting that journalists could be shot, adding to his “dark rhetoric” against the media and Democrats. He warned of potential election interference without providing evidence and hinted at his reluctance to leave office if defeated.
Trump also announced that he had enlisted Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who recently endorsed him, to address “women’s health” and “pesticides,” following Kennedy’s statement advocating the removal of fluoride from public water supplies.
While both candidates urgently shore up their bases, polling shows a historically close race. Early voting has surged, with over 77.6 million ballots already cast. Harris saw a boost in Iowa, where a recent poll showed her ahead in a state Trump previously won. As Election Day approaches, the race remains tense, with each candidate vying for undecided voters in crucial states.
