The United States heads to the polls on Tuesday (November 5) to elect its 47th president, with voters choosing between Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump, and polls show the race is close dead end.

This historic election caps one of the most divisive presidential campaigns in recent memory. On the final night of the campaign, both Harris and Trump turned their attention to Pennsylvania, the largest of seven key battleground states, as they sought to win over remaining undecided voters.

Opinion polls show Harris and Trump neck and neck, with some polls giving Harris a slight lead. Besides Pennsylvania, other important swing states include Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

More than 82 million Americans have already voted through early voting or voting by mail, according to the University of Florida.

Harris advocates unity, hopes to overcome divisions and strives for a “new start” for the country.

Trump has warned of a Democratic-led future and promised economic recovery and strict immigration controls.

A total of 538 electoral votes are at stake, with 270 needed to win. Swing states are critical because many others maintain a predictable voting pattern.

The close race is considered historic, with Harris potentially becoming the first woman, first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to serve as US president if she wins.

Throughout the campaign, Harris focused on defending fundamental freedoms, constitutional values, and women’s rights. Trump, on the other hand, has emphasized revitalizing the economy and combating illegal immigration.
