Bitter rivals, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump embarked on a final campaign blitz Monday with both hitting must-win Pennsylvania on the last day of the tightest and most volatile US presidential election in memory.
Republican Trump has promised a “landslide” as he seeks a sensational return to the White House while Democrat Harris said the “momentum” was on the side of her bid to be America’s first woman president.
But the polls suggest a different story on the eve of Election Day – total deadlock in surveys nationally and in the seven swing states where the result is expected to be decided.
Pennsylvania is the single biggest swing state prize under the US Electoral College system, which awards influence in line with population.
Both sides say they are encouraged by huge early turnout numbers, with over 78 million people having voted already, around half of the total number of ballots cast in 2020.
Former President Trump is in his pursuit of a second term, which would make him the first convicted felon and, at 78, the oldest major party candidate ever elected.
