Voters in the United States go to the polls on Tuesday to choose their next president. Political polls show that candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are in a tight race.
Kamala Harris spent the final days of the campaign in the swing state of Michigan, meeting with voters at a chicken and waffles restaurant in Detroit and speaking at a local church, where she said voters in her Democratic Party — usually associated with the color blue - joined by voters from the Republican Party, who are associated with the color red.
“I see a nation determined to turn the page on hatred and division and chart a new path forward. As I travel, I see Americans from so-called red states to so-called blue states who are willing to bend the arc of history toward justice,” Harris said.
Donald Trump campaigned in the state of North Carolina, where he told supporters he was confident of victory on Election Day.
"Because we have a great, wonderful advantage. All we have to do, Mike, all we have to do is get out on Tuesday and vote, vote, vote,” Trump said.
Trump told supporters that their opponents are already trying to steal this election.
"They cheat in the elections, and you call them out and they want to put you in jail." Think about it. It's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. But I love it. You know why? Because we proved something. We showed something. And we'll fix it. And we have to win this election," Trump said.
At that rally, Trump again suggested violence against political opponents, this time against the media.
Harris says this election is about more than partisan politics and what she says, "seek to deepen division, sow hatred, spread fear and cause chaos."
“And I promise to listen to people who disagree with me, because, you see, I don't believe that people who disagree with me are the enemy. In fact, I'll give them a seat at the table because that's what great leaders do,” says Harris.
More than 75 million Americans have already voted in this election. That is almost half of the total number of those who voted four years ago.
Polls show a close race, with the final New York Times/Siena College poll showing voters evenly split between Trump and Harris.
