US Election 2024 News Live Updates: Harris vs Trump- who is ahead according to polls?

In three days, America will decide who will be the new president. The frontrunners, Democrat candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican rival Donald Trump are pushing their last pitch to woo voters in their favour.

Harris’ campaign in Wisconsin was yet another starry affair with pop singer Cardi B joining her. Backing the vice president, the Emmy-winning singer said, “I’mma be real with y’all. I wasn’t gonna vote this year. I wasn’t. But Kamala Harris joining the race, she changed my mind completely,” she said. “I did not have faith on any candidates until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear, that I want to see next in this country, all right?”

Meanwhile, Trump held a rally in Michigan where he urged voters to cast their ballot, warning “It’s now or never”. Earlier this week, the former president stirred controversy by calling former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney a “war hawk”.

In Wisconsin, Harris promised union workers to invest in the steel and iron industries and vowed to upgrade existing factories and “work with unions to create good paying jobs.”

The governor of Washington state on Friday said he was activating some members of the National Guard to be on stand-by after information and concerns regarding potential violence related to the 2024 election.

The state, where Democrat Kamala Harris is easily expected to defeat Republican Donald Trump according to polling, was one of two where ballot boxes were set on fire earlier in the week.

Early voting is available to those in Washington and more than 2 million have already cast their ballots, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.
