A presidential election campaign unlike any other in history came to an anxious end yesterday with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris scrambling for an edge in a contest that each side portrays as an existential moment for America.
With voters divided down the middle, a few thousand voters in seven battleground states are expected to determine the outcome. The winner may not be known for days.
“It’s ours to lose,” Mr Trump told a crowd of supporters in Raleigh, North Carolina. “If we get everybody out and vote, there’s not a thing they can do.”
Ms Harris, meanwhile, was wooing voters in Pennsylvania, the most crucial swing state.
More than 78 million voters cast their ballots in early voting, with turnout likely to set a new record.
