Your support makes all the difference.With three days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches in all of the key battleground states.
They both spent Friday evening hosting competing rallies in Wisconsin where they attempted to shore up support from voters in one of the “blue wall” states that could seal the deal for the Democratic Party on November 5.
Harris was joined by comedian Keegan-Michael Key and rapper Cardi B as well as a host of musical guests. Trump, whose speech was troubled by mic issues, was accompanied by Robert F Kennedy Jr and Republican lawmakers.
The final poll from The Times and YouGov finds that the vice president is set to narrowly win enough swing states to take the White House.
“We find that Kamala Harris very narrowly wins enough of those states to become America’s first female president,” Times US Assistant Editor David Charter said on Friday.
However, a Harris campaign official said they “fully expect” the former president to declare victory before all votes have been counted.
“It won’t work,” the official said during a press call.
“He did this before. It failed,” they added. “If he does it again, it will fail.”
