Washington:
The United States held one of the closest presidential elections in decades on Tuesday, with Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic leader Kamala Harris competing in key battleground states with remaining voters still undecided. They are making a last-ditch effort to sway voters.
More than 75 million Americans have already voted as of Sunday, according to the University of Florida Elections Lab, which tracks early voting and mail-in voting across the country.
With just two days left until Election Day, Vice President Harris and former President Donald Trump are making closing arguments across politically crucial battleground states to drum up support.
Various opinion polls predict an unusually close race between Harris and Trump. Political analysts say either of the two leaders competing in at least four of the seven battleground states could take control of the White House in January.
Questioning the vote-counting process in the 2020 presidential election, he said at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday that President Trump should not have “left” the White House, saying that if he loses the race to Harris, the outcome will be different. This once again aroused concerns that the government might not be able to accept the situation. .
In his speech, President Trump also questioned the Biden administration’s immigration policies and said the border would be secure until he reached the White House.
“The day I left, our border was the most secure in the history of this country. I shouldn’t have left, because to be honest…we did very well,” he said before. The president spoke at a rally in Lititz. Pennsylvania.
Trump has refused to concede the 2020 election and has filed a series of unsuccessful lawsuits challenging the results.
At the rally, Trump also targeted Harris, accusing the Democratic Party of being a “corrupt machine.”
“Everything is corrupt. She is corrupt. She is a corrupt human being. I am fighting a completely corrupt human being,” he claimed.
“I’m not actually running against her. I’m running against the corrupt organization that is the Democratic Party.” Pennsylvania has 19 electoral votes and seven It has emerged as the most important battleground state, followed by North Carolina and Georgia with 16 each, Michigan with 15 and Arizona with 11. Other battleground states include Wisconsin with 10 cases and Nevada with six cases.
At a rally in Pennsylvania, Trump promised to usher in a “new golden age” for the United States if he becomes president and vowed to “right the wrongs” of the Biden-Harris administration.
Trump has also held rallies in North Carolina and Georgia, and Harris is touring Michigan.
Speaking at an event in Detroit, Harris said it was up to the American people to decide what direction the country would take, and suggested that a Trump presidency would be detrimental to the country.
Election Day gives voters an opportunity to reject “confusion, fear and hatred,” she said.
“In two days, we have the power to decide the fate of this country for generations to come,” she said.
“I see a nation determined to turn the page on hatred and division and chart a new path forward. As I travel, Americans in so-called red states and so-called blue states I see them trying to bend the arc of justice,” Harris added.
The Democratic leader also invoked God and said that while God’s plan is to “heal us and unite us as one nation,” that alone is not enough, and that “we will take action” to make that plan a reality. Must be,” he added.
