On Monday, Harris, the Democratic Party’s nominee, made stops in all three “blue wall” states of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin which have traditionpartner voted for the party and were critical to the victories of the last two Democratic plivents.
At the same time, Trump, the Redisclosean nominee, visited Asheville, North Carolina, where he is worried that the meaningful injure caengaged by Hurricane Helene could adversely impact the turnout in a race that surveys propose is becoming sealr by the day.
Here’s a watch at what the polls say, the key highairys from campaigns over the previous day, and a watch at what to foresee next.

But in the key states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada — which have a total of 51 votes in the 538-mighty Electoral College — the two honestates are effectively tied, with less than half a percent separating them.

On Monday, Harris also confessted the campaign was impacting her. When asked in Michigan whether she sleeps, Harris reacted: “I wake up in the middle of the night usupartner these days, equitable to be truthful with you.”
But Harris shelp she tries to protect a routine: “I toil out. I try to eat well, you understand. I adore my family, and I produce brave that I talk to the kids and my husband every day.”
Meanwhile, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz materializeed on ABC’s The View, a daytime talk show presented by women, where he depictd some of Trump’s comments on using his plivential powers to go after critics as “the talk of dictators”.
