With three days of campaigning to go in the 2024 race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches in all of the key battleground states.
They both spent Friday evening hosting competing rallies in Wisconsin where they attempted to shore up support from voters in one of the “blue wall” states that could seal the deal for the Democratic Party on November 5.
Harris was joined by comedian Keegan-Michael Key and rapper Cardi B as well as a host of musical guests. Trump, whose speech was troubled by mic issues, was accompanied by Robert F Kennedy Jr and Republican lawmakers.
The final poll from The Times and YouGov finds that the vice president is set to narrowly win enough swing states to take the White House.
“We find that Kamala Harris very narrowly wins enough of those states to become America’s first female president,” Times US Assistant Editor David Charter said on Friday.
However, a Harris campaign official said they “fully expect” the former president to declare victory before all votes have been counted.
“It won’t work,” the official said during a press call.
“He did this before. It failed,” they added. “If he does it again, it will fail.”

Ella and Cole Emhoff: What to know about Kamala Harris’s stepchildren
It’s also just plain wrong. The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee actually has two step-children thanks to her husband Doug Emhoff, whom she wed in 2014. Emhoff had two children, Ella and Cole Emhoff, with his first wife, Kerstin — and the pair affectionately refer to Harris as their “momala.”
“For over 10 years since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I,” Kerstin Emhoff told CNN. “I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it.”
Here is what you need to know about Harris’s family.

What happened to Trump’s first cabinet?
Donald Trump’s first stint as commander-in-chief between 2017 and 2021 was anything but smooth sailing, with firings and acrimonious departures as much a feature of his administration as it was central to his hit NBC reality show The Apprentice.
And, the years that followed have also been eventful for the most notable characters from his presidency.
Some have ended up in prison or criminally charged in connection to their involvement with the former president.
Few are still on speaking terms with him.

Trump threatens to ‘knock the hell out of people backstage’ over faulty mic
A night of dueling rallies in Milwaukee, the largest city in the key battleground state of Wisconsin, turned into a night of high contrast.
Kamala Harris was supported by local officials including Senator Tammy Baldwin, but also by a host of entertainers including comedian Keegan Michael-Key and rapper Cardi B. The vice president was then introduced by an elementary school teacher.
Speaking before Donald Trump took the stage were two sitting senators, Markwayne Mullin and Eric Schmitt, a candidate for the Senate, Eric Hovde, and Robert F Kennedy Jr, who introduced him. Needless to say, the energy levels were very different.
While at the Harris rally an apparent teleprompter failure led to Cardi B reading her speech from a phone, there were bigger tech failures at the FiServ Forum a few miles away.
