In the final sprint before the US election, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are vying for the exact same voters in North Carolina. Trump repeated a somewhat bizarre statement.
Within hours, the two candidates appeared less than a hundred kilometers apart and attacked their rivals in clear terms.
Harris accused Republicans of being “increasingly unstable,” obsessed with revenge and seeking unchecked power. Trump called Harris a “low IQ”.

North Carolina on the east coast of the United States is one of the fiercely competitive “swing states”: In the 2020 election, Trump only led future President Joe Biden by more than one percentage point. This year, polls in the state predict the race will be a close one, with Trump holding a narrow lead.
Overall, Trump and Harris are close, according to surveys. The outcome of the election in so-called swing states will be decisive, which is why campaigning has focused on recent days.
Trump suspects election fraud
In a speech in Virginia, Trump denied Vice President Harris' ability to become president. He predicted that if the Democratic Party won the election, “it will be completely crushed, collapsed, and millions of people will die.” Some people thrive under pressure, while others sink into depression.
Shortly before the election, Trump once again fueled expectations among his supporters that only fraud could snatch away his victory. “Let them cheat, because that's what they do,” Trump said of Democrats. He is confident he will win not just a majority of voters but a majority of the overall vote.
After the 2020 election, Trump claimed that massive electoral fraud by the Democratic Party robbed him of his victory. However, dozens of lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign have failed in court. There was never any evidence of irregularities that would have changed the outcome of the vote. But Trump continues to claim this. His comments also led his supporters to attack the Capitol in Washington, D.C., home to the U.S. Congress, in early 2021.
Trump praises himself for having “fair and beautiful skin”
Trump has also made a special effort to appeal to female voters. The 78-year-old said he was advised to stop calling women “beautiful”.
“That's why I won't tell you how beautiful you are.”
The Republican candidate also spoke again about his “beautiful white skin.” “I don't have to be with you tonight,” he said.
“I could be on the beach and my beautiful white skin would be tanned beautifully.”
Harris wants to vote by mail
Harris emphasized that she wants to cut taxes for the middle class and prohibit companies from gouging prices. It will ensure affordable healthcare. When she was interrupted by loud noises about the war in Gaza, Harris emphasized:
“This is what democracy looks like.”
She wanted to fight for people’s right to express their opinions. “But now I'm going to speak,” she shouted to the demonstrators.
The 60-year-old may want to vote in person. CNN quoted a spokesman for the Harris campaign as saying that at least this is the US vice president’s plan. She hopes to be an example to other voters and show people there are many ways to vote. It's unclear whether Harris has submitted her ballot.
Her husband, Doug Emhoff, posted on X that he had already voted by letter. Not surprisingly, he voted for his wife. “I voted for Kamala Harris to be President of the United States. I will never forget this moment,” he wrote.
CNN: About 70 million votes have been cast
Meanwhile, CNN reported that some 70 million votes have been cast so far, citing investigations it conducted in partnership with agencies. This number equates to nearly 45% of the approximately 158 million votes cast in the 2020 presidential election. (Sudan Development Authority/Department of Political Affairs/Associated Press)
