Pennsylvania in focus during the last day of campaigning - singled out as decisive
The important wave master state of Pennsylvania with its 19 electoral votes is in focus when Kamala Harris and Donald Trump end their campaigns to instead look towards election day.

Wall Street does not dare to choose a side: "A coin single"
The presidential election looks set to be a thriller. The level of opinion has discouraged professional investors on Wall Street from taking large positions based on a certain result, writes Bloomberg.
Eric Diton, director of the adviser Wealth Alliances, justifies the decision to wait by seeing the election as a "penny single".
- There is no logic in betting, he tells the news agency.
Dave Lutz, macro strategist at Jones Trading, makes a similar point of view.
- The investigations have been so wrong in the past, he says.

Trump prepares to claim election fraud in case of loss
In the past week, Donald Trump has repeatedly tried to discredit this year's presidential election, which could be a sign that he is preparing to claim voter fraud in the event of a loss. This is reported by the Washington Post and The Guardian.
Trump, who falsely claims that the presidential election four years ago was rigged, has talked at several campaign meetings about the Democrats trying to "steal the election".
- They are fighting so hard to steal this damn election, he said in Pennsylvania last night.
The Washington Post writes that Trump "laid the foundation for widespread disappointment among his supporters" if Kamala Harris wins the election, among other things by claiming that his lead in opinion polls is greater than it really is.

Harris: Will do everything to end the war in Gaza
Close to election day in the United States, Kamala Harris tried to make a final push to win the support of Arab American and Muslim voters.
During her campaign rally in Michigan on Sunday night, Harris said she will do everything in her power to end the war in Gaza and bring home the hostages.
"This year has been difficult, given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon," Harris said.
Michigan has about 240 000 registered voters who are Muslim. A majority of them voted for Joe Biden in 2020, giving him a narrow victory in the state. Today, many are hesitant to vote for the Democrats and are drawn instead to the Green Party's candidate, Jill Stein, who runs a line critical of Israel.
