Kamala and Trump's Last Push: Election Eve Moves and Unexpected Polls

As the 2024 US presidential election nears its end, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are racing across the country to rally support. They started their day in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but quickly split paths. Harris headed to Atlanta and then Charlotte, North Carolina, while Trump visited North Carolina and then Virginia. With nearly 70 million Americans already having voted, early trends are causing a stir among experts. An Iowa poll recently showed Harris leading Trump by 47% to 44% among likely voters. Although many polls are tight, some experts think this might not reflect the actual outcome. Professors Josh Clinton and John Lapinski argue that polling methods may be leveling out differences, suggesting the election results could surprise us.

In other news, a Georgia judge dismissed a lawsuit trying to stop early voting in Democratic-stronghold Fulton County. Trump has previously blamed county workers for his 2020 loss in Georgia. If he wins this election, he would gain immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts, a power no previous president has enjoyed. A loss, however, could lead to jail time. Harris made an appearance on Saturday Night Live, teaming up with Maya Rudolph's version of herself. They encouraged supporters to "Keep Kamala and carry-on-ala" and declared their shared belief in America's promise. Meanwhile, Harris criticized Trump's campaign focus on revenge and grievance during her Atlanta rally, drawing thousands of supporters. Across the country, women marched in all 50 states for the eighth annual Women's March. Also, vaccine skeptic Robert F Kennedy Jr could influence US health and food safety in a potential second Trump administration.
