Harris Leads Early Voting in Tight Race

As early voting begins in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris leads former President Donald Trump among early voters, particularly motivated by abortion rights, showing a 63%-34% advantage, according to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll. Despite this, Trump leads among voters planning to cast their ballots on Election Day with a 52%-35% margin. Both candidates are actively campaigning in swing states, with Harris seeking to attract moderate Republicans like those supporting Liz Cheney, who has endorsed her. Trump's campaign includes unconventional tactics like serving fries at a McDonald's to appeal to everyday voters. The race remains tight, with both candidates neck-and-neck across battleground states, highlighting the high stakes and strategic significance of winning undecided voters. The election campaign is characterized by contrasting messages, with Harris emphasizing constitutional faithfulness and Trump focusing on criticism of government responses to crises like Hurricane Helene.
