Nearly 25m votes cast As Harris, Trump campaign in key States

Vice President, Kamala Harris and Republican candidate, Donald Trump

Nearly 25 million voters have already cast ballots, ahead of the US presidential poll either through in-person early voting or mail-in ballots.

This information is contained in the tracking data from the Election Lab at the University of Florida.

Several states, including the key states like North Carolina and Georgia, set significant records on their respective first day of early voting last week.

Trump told a religious-themed "ballots and believers" event in Zebulon, Georgi  that, “The votes in Georgia are at record levels. The votes in every state, frankly, are at record levels. We’re doing really well and hopefully we can fix our country.”

Trump in recent days has sought to rally turnout from Christian evangelicals, hoping they will set aside any concerns about his frequent off-color commentary like his tale about Arnold Palmer’s Anatomy.

Trump, who made campaign rallies a staple of his political career starting back in 2015, said in Zebulon that “in many ways it’s sad” that his time as a political candidate is coming to a close.

Perhaps if he wins I. Nov. 5 poll, he would serve his second and final term in America.

“We’ve been doing this for nine years, and it’s down to 12 days,” he said.

Trump also spoke in Duluth, Georgia, for a rally with former Fox News star Tucker Carlson and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Pennsylvania and Georgia are among the seven battleground states that will decide who wins the presidency, and both candidates are likely to spend much of the rest of their campaigns visiting them.

Earlier in the day, Harris seized on comments by Trump’s former White House chief of staff John Kelly, who told the New York Times that the former president met the “general definition of fascist” and admired dictators.

Harris called Trump’s remarks as quoted by Kelly “deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous.” Trump’s campaign has denied Kelly’s account, calling them “debunked stories.”

Harris has repeatedly called for a second debate with Trump but that call hit a dead rock after she was considered to have won the first and only presidential debate between the two candidates, which took place in September on.
