Final Push: Candidates Make Last Appeals in Tight Race as Election Day Looms

With only one day remaining, candidates and parties are in a tight race with no clear winner in sight.

According to the University of Florida’s Election Lab, over 77 million Americans—nearly half of the total turnout in the 2020 election—have already cast their ballots ahead of this Tuesday’s Election Day.

In addition to the presidential race, control of Congress is also at stake, with Democrats appearing poised to take control of the House of Representatives, while Republicans are favored to capture a majority in the Senate.

On Sunday, Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who has strong support among female voters, engaged with Black church congregations and Arab American communities in Michigan as part of her final campaign push.

Meanwhile, her Republican rival, former President Donald Trump, who has gained traction among Hispanic voters, especially men, delivered a speech in Pennsylvania where he used increasingly combative rhetoric.

Later, Trump spoke in Kinston, North Carolina, and was en route to his final stage in Macon, Georgia. Both places are critical to decide the winner of this election.

Georgia and North Carolina are among the seven swing states that have the second-largest seats, behind 19 seats in Pennsylvania, up for grabs with 16 each. The candidate will need 270 votes to win the Electoral College to secure the presidency.
