WASHINGTON, USA: As the US election race enters its crucial final two weeks, both candidates are ramping up their efforts to sway undecided voters.
Republican Donald Trump is targeting Latino voters with a special campaign event in Florida, while Democratic contender Kamala Harris prepares for a national network interview with NBC. Both campaigns are investing heavily—hundreds of millions of dollars—to capture the attention of wavering voters as polls indicate a near tie between the two candidates.
This election is poised to be historic, with the possibility of electing the first female president or the first convicted felon to the White House. Trump, at 78, is the oldest major party nominee in US history and has recently gained a slight edge in polls, though within the margin of error. Meanwhile, Harris, who entered the race after President Biden’s unexpected exit, is working to rally support and combat concerns about Trump’s fitness for office.
Former President Barack Obama is re-entering the political scene, set to hold rallies in critical swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan. These states are seen as essential battlegrounds that could determine the election outcome. Trump, on the other hand, continues to hold rallies characterized by his often chaotic style, which includes veering off script and making provocative statements.
With over 15 million ballots already cast, representing about 10% of the total turnout in 2020, the focus is intensifying on voter engagement and turnout efforts. The coming weeks will be pivotal as both candidates strive to connect with voters and solidify their campaigns .
