US Election: 6 Days to Go as Harris, Trump Push for Swing States

With just six days until the U.S. election, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are intensifying efforts to secure critical support in battleground states. Harris addressed supporters at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C.—the site of Trump’s January 6, 2021, rally—while Trump campaigned in Allentown, Pennsylvania, following recent controversy over racially charged remarks made at a New York rally.

In the polls, Harris holds a slim 1.4-point national lead, according to FiveThirtyEight. However, swing-state races remain exceptionally close. Harris leads in Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, but Trump has slight edges in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia, with all seven states showing margins within two points.

Polling data from Reuters/Ipsos shows Harris’s national lead narrowing, with just a one-point advantage over Trump, 44% to 43%. The race has grown closer in recent weeks, down from a two-point lead in mid-October, and the current margin of error leaves outcomes uncertain as both campaigns push to sway undecided voters ahead of November 5.
