Harris and Trump Engage in Tight Election Race

The 2024 U.S. presidential election is shaping up to be one of the closest in history, with Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump virtually tied in key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, where Harris leads Trump by just 2 percentage points. Both candidates are emphasizing the importance of the election, framing it in apocalyptic terms, as they campaign aggressively in critical swing states such as Arizona and Georgia. Polling experts suggest that the election will hinge on the issue of inflation, with Harris currently perceived as more effective in addressing voter concerns compared to Trump. However, Trump still holds significant sway among older voters, particularly those concerned about economic issues, where he leads by a substantial margin. As the campaigning intensifies, both candidates will strive to win the 'framing war' over economic narratives in the coming weeks.
