The tight U.S. presidential election race between Republican Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris entered its final two-week stretch on October 22, 2024, with both candidates focusing on key voter demographics. Trump, at a roundtable with Latino leaders in Florida, reinforced his anti-migrant rhetoric and focused on border security, while Harris, the first woman of color running for president, prepared for a national TV interview and campaign events featuring former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
With millions of Americans already casting their ballots, the race remains incredibly close, with both campaigns pouring resources into swing states to sway undecided voters. As Trump continues to push false claims about the 2020 election, Harris has positioned herself as a fresh alternative, focusing on economic issues like jobs and the cost of living, especially among Latino voters.
The outcome of this historic election could see the U.S. elect its first female president or re-elect Trump, who, despite numerous controversies, continues to energize his base. Both candidates are gearing up for a final push before Election Day, November 5.
