Election Countdown: Trump and Harris Seek to Win Over Undecided Voters
With the U.S. election just two weeks away, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are making last-minute efforts to capture the attention of undecided voters in key battleground states.
As the U.S. election deadline approaches, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris find themselves in a tight race with only two weeks left before voters make their decisions. According to the latest analysis from Nate Cohn, The Times’s chief political analyst, their campaigns are essentially neck-and-neck in a polling average encompassing five crucial battleground states: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Currently, neither candidate holds a significant lead, with margins often within mere tenths of a percentage point.
In this critical moment, both campaigns are intensifying their efforts to engage undecided voters—a demographic that both sides believe skews younger and comprises a notable percentage of Black and Latino voters. The Harris campaign is also focusing on persuading white, college-educated women, exemplified by her recent joint appearances with former Representative Liz Cheney, specifically targeting Republican women looking for alternative viewpoints.
As early voting continues across various states, the theme of voter fraud looms large in campaign discussions. While Trump has voiced skepticism over the electoral process, he paradoxically admitted he has "not seen any signs of cheating" thus far. His rhetoric continues to cast doubt on Democrats, emphasizing a sustained strategy of questioning electoral integrity.
The upcoming elections also highlight the financial dynamics of the two campaigns. Despite Harris’s consistent advantage in fundraising compared to Trump, the latter's financial backing has diminished compared to his previous campaign in 2020—a point of concern for his team.
As both candidates enter the final stretch, the focus will heavily rest on their ability to swing undecided voters critical to claiming victory in these closely contested states.
