Down to the wire: Harris, Trump in final sprint of US election race

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will make a final push to break their bitter deadlock in the last full week of the most dramatic and divisive White House race in modern times.

Despite a series of historic upheavals in a US election like no other, polls show the Democratic vice-president and Republican former president remain neck-and-neck in the polls as Election Day on November 5 looms.

Both will pull out all the stops to sway voters, with Harris, 60, giving her closing pitch on Tuesday at the same spot where Trump rallied supporters to protest his election 2020 loss before the deadly January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol.

As the race goes down to the wire, the two rivals will hammer the seven battleground states where just a few thousand voters could decide who governs the world’s top superpower.
