As the presidential election campaign comes to a close, candidates are actively engaging in key swing states to secure crucial votes. Kamala Harris made an appearance on the popular live show ‘Saturday Night Live,’ discussing issues like abortion rights amidst demonstrations in Washington. Meanwhile, Donald Trump campaigned in Virginia, asserting confidence in winning the state. With early voting data showing varied turnout rates, polls indicate a tight race, particularly in pivotal states as both candidates ramp up their final efforts before the vote.
The presidential candidates are reaching the end of their campaigns, tirelessly traveling through swing states in pursuit of crucial votes. Following her visit to North Carolina, Kamala Harris made an appearance on the popular show ‘Saturday Night Live,’ which, as the title suggests, airs live on Saturday nights. In a segment she shared on social media, the Democratic vice-presidential candidate had a lighthearted exchange with her impersonator, actress Maya Rudolph.
At the same time, Kamala Harris rallied with thousands of women who gathered in Washington, D.C. to advocate for abortion rights, which have been restricted or banned in several states since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump was in Salem, Virginia, a state that has not historically supported him since George W. Bush last won it in 2004. But for the former president, the message is clear: “if we win Virginia, we win everything without a doubt.” With just two days remaining until the election, over 71 million Americans have already cast their votes early. This turnout is lower than four years ago in 36 states while being higher in three states, according to CNN.

Donald Trump
During a rally in North Carolina, Donald Trump sought to defend in vitro fertilization (IVF) amidst fears that this medical procedure could be threatened in Alabama by the Supreme Court. The Republican contender had to distance himself from the court’s ruling, while the Democratic camp accused him of wanting to eliminate this medical practice. Subsequently, Alabama’s Republican governor signed a law to protect IVF. “I consider myself the father of fertilization,” Trump declared on stage, triggering laughter from the audience. This was an attempt to attract female voters, a demographic where he has seen a decline.
