US Presidential Election: Final Day of Campaigning

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are making their last pitches to voters on the final day of campaigning before America decides its next president. Both candidates are crisscrossing key battleground states, with Harris campaigning in Pennsylvania and Trump visiting North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

Swing States: The Key to Victory

Swing states are crucial in determining the outcome of the election. These states have a history of voting for both Democratic and Republican candidates, making them highly contested. Some of the key swing states include Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, which have large Latino populations that could potentially swing the election.

The Latino Vote

The Latino vote is expected to play a significant role in the election, with over 78 million people already having cast their ballots. However, the Latino block is not monolithic, with different communities having distinct concerns. Cuban-Americans in South Florida and Venezuelan-Americans have traditionally leaned towards the Republicans, while Mexican-American voters in different states have varying priorities.

Trump’s Final Message

Trump is focusing on his core messages of immigration, national security, and the economy. He has repeatedly accused his opponents of cheating and fraud, laying the groundwork to challenge the result if he loses.

Harris’s Promise

Harris has vowed to end the war in Gaza and has been courting Latino voters in Pennsylvania. Her campaign is highlighting the importance of the Latino vote in the state.

Latin America’s Stake in the Election

Latin America is watching the US election closely, with many countries concerned about the impact of US policies on immigration, border security, and trade. Mexico, in particular, is bracing itself for potentially tougher US policies under a Trump or Harris administration.

The Economy: A Top Concern

The economy is the number one issue for voters, with polls suggesting Trump is favoured to handle it. However, experts warn that his tariff policies could drastically raise prices in the US.
