As Election Day looms, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris made her closing pitch for the presidency in Michigan, addressing a historically Black church in Detroit and meeting with Arab Americans in East Lansing. Harris emphasized the power voters hold to determine the nation’s future and addressed the challenges faced by civilians in Gaza and Lebanon, pledging to end the Gaza war if elected.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump rallied in Pennsylvania, using fiery language to criticize Democrats and warn of a “nation in decline.” He addressed supporters with dark predictions for the economy and took jabs at the media, suggesting they shield him from threats. Trump’s recent rhetoric has prompted concern, as he called out critics and implied that election results should be decided by Tuesday night, though election officials warn that counting may take days.

With more than 78 million Americans already casting ballots, polls show a tight race, with Harris enjoying strong support among women and Trump gaining ground with Hispanic men. Control of Congress is also up for grabs, potentially shaping the legislative landscape for the next president.
