Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are blitzing through several swing states today, with just two days to go before America decides its next president
Trump promises a new “golden age” for the US in Pennsylvania, as Harris urges voters to turn the page on “hate and division” at a church service in Michigan.
The polls suggest the race is still exceptionally close.
Harris appeared on comedy show Saturday Night Live last night – but Republicans say the surprise skit violates equal air time rules for candidates.
More than 75 million people have already voted.
As Donald Trump disembarks his plane for his next rally in North Carolina, let’s recap a bit of what we heard from him earlier.
Speaking in another swing state, Pennsylvania, Trump covered his touchstone issues of the economy and immigration.
“I’m asking you to be excited about the future of our country again,” he said, promising the crowd a “golden age” after a “failed country” from a group of “incompetent fools”, meaning the Democrats.
He asked the rally-goers whether or not they felt better off now under the Biden-Harris administration, or four years ago at the end of his presidency. “Four years, four years!” shouted the crowd.
Nearly all the Trump fans I spoke to outside had referenced the cost of living as a major election issue.
Polls suggest is by far the biggest concern for all likely voters in Pennsylvania – Republicans and Democrats alike. Inflation surged during the Biden administration and although the rate of prices increasing has levelled off and begun to fall, it is still a major vulnerability for Harris.
Trump again pledged he would stop what he repeatedly characterises as an “invasion” of migrants at the southern US border. He has promised the biggest mass deportation program in American history.
