As the final weekend of the high-stakes U.S. presidential campaign unfolds, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump ramp up their efforts with a series of rallies in crucial swing states. Harris, aiming to be the first female president, focuses on portraying Trump as a threat to democracy during her stops in Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan.
On the other hand, Trump, seeking a dramatic comeback after his 2020 loss and becoming the first presidential nominee convicted of crimes, touts a radical right-wing agenda and aggressive trade policies under the banner of “America first.” In a recent Fox News interview, Trump criticized the Biden-Harris administration’s economic performance, labeling the disappointing job figures released Friday as “a gift to me.”

Both candidates are set for a frantic schedule leading up to Election Day on Tuesday, with late-night rallies planned in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for Trump and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Harris. Voter turnout has been significant, with over 72 million ballots already cast, including a record four million in Georgia, where Democrats aim to retain control.
Polls indicate a tightly contested race, particularly in seven battleground states pivotal for the Electoral College outcome. Harris is targeting centrist voters while energizing her base through a strong ground game.
In a show of solidarity, thousands of women are expected to participate in demonstrations under the theme “We Won’t Go Back,” advocating for Harris and abortion rights. While Harris appeals to women across party lines with issues like abortion and healthcare, Trump has criticized a Democratic ad that suggests the wives of his supporters are secretly voting for Harris.
