At Donald Trump’s final rally before the 2024 election, the Republican leader declared that his real opponent wasn’t Vice President Kamala Harris, but what he described as an “evil Democrat system.” Harris, for her part, didn’t mention Trump at all during her final speech. Instead, she focused on a message of unity, promising to “turn the page on a decade of politics driven by fear and division.”
Early voting in the election is already high, with more than 78 million Americans having cast their ballots, according to the University of Florida’s Election Lab. This early turnout highlights the importance of swing states in deciding the outcome, as polls predict a tight race between the two candidates.
On Election Day, November 5, voters across the U.S. will decide between two starkly different visions for the country. Harris, if elected, would become the first female president in U.S. history. She’s promised to work with Republicans to address economic issues and other challenges.
Trump, meanwhile, has pledged bold actions, including replacing federal workers with his loyalists, imposing sweeping tariffs on both allies and adversaries, and carrying out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
Both candidates are neck-and-neck in key swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. These states are expected to play a pivotal role in determining who will win the presidency.
