As the U.S. presidential election approaches on November 5, 2024, the race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump remains tight, with national polls showing only a slight edge for Harris. In battleground states, Trump leads slightly in Pennsylvania and other key states, indicating a potential Electoral College advantage despite Harris's slight national lead. The election is characterized by intense campaigning and high voter turnout, especially in states like North Carolina, where early voting is at record levels. Kamala Harris's campaign emphasizes a rejection of Trump's past rhetoric and actions, while Trump focuses on his core base, especially in regions with predominantly white electorates. Analysts suggest the election will be decided by a small number of swing voters in key states, with both candidates trying to appeal to these persuadable voters. The election outcome, influenced by minor shifts in these battlegrounds, will be closely watched for its implications on the nation's political future.
