2024 US Presidential Election Updates

The 2024 US presidential election is underway, with Election Day on November 5, 2024. The race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remains tightly contested, particularly in seven key battleground states. Both candidates have been actively campaigning in the final days leading up to the election.

Kamala Harris has been focusing her efforts in Pennsylvania, holding events in Allentown, Reading, and Pittsburgh, followed by a star-studded concert and rally in Philadelphia. This rally included appearances by Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, and other notable figures to energize and mobilize her supporters.

Donald Trump has also been campaigning vigorously, starting his day in Raleigh, North Carolina, and then heading to Pennsylvania for rallies in Reading and Pittsburgh before ending the day in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Trump made controversial comments during a rally, suggesting he wouldn't mind if someone had to shoot through the media to reach him, which was met with criticism.

More than 78 million Americans have already cast their early votes, with over 42.6 million voting in person and over 35.3 million submitting mail ballots.

The election has also seen other notable events, such as an FCC commissioner criticizing NBC for giving free airtime to Kamala Harris during a 'Saturday Night Live' appearance, and concerns over election security with the National Guard on standby in several states to assist local law enforcement.
