Harris, Trump in Close Race for Key States on US Election Eve

Actualités Maroc
Rabat - On the final day before the US presidential election, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris and Republican candidate Donald Trump are making their last appeals to voters, battling it out in critical swing states where polls show a thin margin between them.

With both candidates in a tough race, they are trying to win over voters in important states that could decide the election.

Both Harris and Trump are making strategic last-minute visits to key states. Harris is holding multiple events across Michigan to rally Black and Arab American voters, particularly in light of the ongoing war in Gaza.

During a rally in East Lansing, Harris urged an end to the war, expressing her commitment to “do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza, bring home the hostages, end the suffering in Gaza, ensure Israel’s security, and help the Palestinian people achieve dignity, freedom, security, and self-determination.”

Her statement is an apparent effort to engage with progressive, Arab American, and Muslim American communities as she makes her final push.

Meanwhile, Trump is also making a tour of swing states, stopping in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Michigan.
On the final day, the two candidates are concentrating on states where the polls show them neck and neck. According to FiveThirtyEight’s tracker, Harris holds a slim lead in Michigan and Wisconsin, while Trump is slightly ahead in Arizona, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Harris is dedicating all of Monday to Pennsylvania, as she is making appearances in Scranton, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.

Meanwhile, Trump’s day began with a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, followed by a stop in Reading, Pennsylvania, before concluding with a nighttime rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

In his speech in Raleigh, Trump repeated his claims about immigrants, suggesting that undocumented migrants are fundamentally different from Americans and responsible for rising crime.

He called for the death penalty for migrants who kill US citizens or law enforcement officers. “Different than us, the moment they kill, they don’t even think about it. We don’t kill … They wake up the next morning and … they don’t even think about the damage and the ruin and the havoc they’ve caused,” he said.

With so much at stake, both candidates are making the case that they are the ones who can lead the country forward through these challenging times. Last-minute appeals in swing states could be the deciding factor.
