Tight US Election Race Enters Final Two-Week Stretch: Trump Courts Latino Voters, Harris Preps for National Interview

One of the closest U.S. election contests in recent history is heading into its final two-week phase, with Republican Donald Trump making a special appeal to Latino voters, while Democratic contender Kamala Harris prepares for a national TV interview.

Both campaigns are investing hundreds of millions of dollars to sway undecided voters, as polls show a deadlock between the candidates with Election Day approaching on November 5.

Regardless of the outcome, history will be made: the U.S. will either elect its first female president, or the first convicted felon to occupy the Oval Office.

Polls suggest Trump, 78, the oldest major-party nominee, holds a slight edge, but the margin remains slim. Meanwhile, Harris, 60, who joined the race in July after President Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal and endorsement, will appear in an NBC interview and deploy Barack Obama for rallies in key swing states Wisconsin and Michigan.

Trump, increasingly using anti-migrant rhetoric, is focusing on Latino voters in Florida before heading to North Carolina to discuss the economy, though his rallies often stray into controversial monologues. Harris, framing herself as a “joyful warrior,” is positioning herself as a fresh alternative to Trump’s tumultuous tenure.

With over 15 million ballots already cast, both campaigns are racing to secure votes as the nation approaches this historic decision.
