Vice President Kamala Harris holds a narrow national lead over former President Donald Trump, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. With just two weeks remaining until Election Day, the race is exceptionally tight. A top Harris campaign adviser emphasized that each battleground state could be decided by a razor-thin margin, possibly less than 1%.
Meanwhile, a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll shows Harris at 45% and Trump at 44%, an even closer margin than seen in August. As both campaigns ramp up their efforts, Trump is campaigning in North Carolina, while Harris conducted interviews with NBC News and Telemundo.
On the issue of abortion, Harris remained firm during an NBC interview, stating she would not compromise on protecting reproductive rights. She criticized the idea of concessions, asserting that decisions about one’s body are a fundamental freedom. Abortion remains a central issue in her campaign, with the vice president set to visit Texas—a state with stringent abortion laws—later this week to discuss the impact of those bans on women.
Former President Barack Obama also joined Harris on the campaign trail, mocking Trump at a rally in Wisconsin. Obama highlighted what he described as erratic behavior from Trump, including a recent town hall-turned-music event. He urged voters to consider Trump's competence as the country prepares to elect its next president.
President Joe Biden, meanwhile, took a jab at Trump’s claim of having "concepts" for replacing Obamacare, calling it another empty promise without a clear plan. Biden also touted his administration's success in lowering prescription drug costs during a speech in New Hampshire.
On the Republican side, Senator JD Vance made a joke at a rally in Arizona, accusing Harris of “trying to steal” the election after a campaign sign fell during his speech. Trump's campaign continued to emphasize working-class voters, and even sold t-shirts capitalizing on his viral visit to a Pennsylvania McDonald’s.
Both campaigns are accelerating their efforts in the final days, with Trump set to appear on Joe Rogan’s podcast, and Harris receiving support from Bruce Springsteen at concerts in key states. With the race so close, all eyes are on the battleground states, where each vote could prove decisive.

With only two weeks left until Election Day, both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are intensifying their efforts as the presidential race remains neck and neck. Recent polls show Harris with a slim lead over Trump nationally, and advisors from both camps emphasize that the election could come down to the narrowest of margins, especially in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada.
Harris’ campaign continues to focus heavily on reproductive rights, particularly in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a recent NBC News interview, Harris made it clear that she refuses to make concessions on abortion access, framing the issue as one of fundamental freedoms. She’s scheduled to speak in Texas later this week about the real-life consequences of abortion bans, as her campaign seeks to mobilize voters deeply concerned about reproductive rights. Her position on abortion is expected to be a defining issue, especially for women voters.
Meanwhile, Trump continues to campaign across the country, using large rallies and media appearances to energize his base. At a roundtable event with Hispanic voters in Florida, Trump took a jab at Harris for taking time off the campaign trail for media interviews, noting his own busy schedule, which includes a rally in North Carolina and an upcoming appearance on Joe Rogan's popular podcast. Trump’s strategy appears to be focused on reinforcing his appeal to male voters and Hispanic communities, while also attempting to undermine Harris’ credibility with working-class voters. His viral moment at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania, where he donned an apron and worked the drive-thru, has become part of a larger campaign narrative aimed at connecting with everyday Americans.
As the candidates’ campaigns heat up, prominent surrogates are joining the effort. Former President Barack Obama has hit the trail for Harris, delivering scathing critiques of Trump’s behavior and policies. At a rally in Wisconsin, Obama questioned Trump’s competence and mocked his recent decision to turn a town hall into a mini-concert, where Trump swayed to “Ave Maria” and “YMCA.” Obama’s presence has added star power to Harris’ campaign, with additional support from major musicians like Bruce Springsteen, who is scheduled to perform at rallies for Harris in Atlanta and Philadelphia.
In contrast, Trump has been getting backing from key conservative figures and supporters, including billionaire Elon Musk, who recently pledged $1 million per day in cash prizes to voters signing his online petition supporting Trump’s candidacy. However, this move has sparked controversy, with former Republican officials calling for an investigation into whether Musk’s giveaways violate election laws.
Despite the intense campaigning, both candidates have faced criticism. Harris has been accused by Trump’s allies, like Senator JD Vance, of trying to "steal" the election—allegations that echo Trump’s false claims of fraud following the 2020 election. On the other hand, Trump’s critics, including Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz, have ridiculed his campaign stunts, with Walz recently mocking Trump’s McDonald’s appearance, quipping that “Ronald McDonald wears less makeup.”
As the days tick down to November 5, it’s clear that both sides are leaving nothing to chance. Harris is doubling down on key issues like abortion and economic justice, particularly among Latino voters, while Trump continues his focus on high-energy events aimed at boosting turnout among his loyal base. Both candidates are also preparing for potential delays in the final vote count, especially in key states where mail-in ballots might not be fully processed until after Election Day.
