Heading into her final phase of the campaign, Harris has avoided mentioning her contender and sounded optimistic by promising a generational change in leadership. The vice president's campaign theme has embraced the tone of her earlier phase where she pitched her “politics of joy” and “freedom” against Trump, who Harris accused of seeking “revenge”.
“From the very start, our campaign has not been about being against something. It is about being for something,” Harris said Sunday evening at Michigan State University.
Trump will hold four rallies in three battleground states -Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania—before entering the final phase of his campaign. The Republican has focused on migration and the economy as key themes, even as he termed his political opponents “enemies from within.”
On Sunday in Pennsylvania, Trump repeated allegations of voter fraud, signalling that he may not accept a defeat. The former President claimed that the “demonic” Democrats were “fighting so hard to steal this damn thing,” despite there being no evidence of voter fraud. He also seemingly mocked his own supporters, calling them stupid if they did not go vote.
More than 75 million Americans have already cast their votes as of Sunday, according to the University of Florida's Election Lab, which tracks early and mail-in voting across the US.

US Election 2024 live: Unions knocking on doors on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris are finding what they say is an effective line of attack against Republican Donald Trump — that he’ll defund Social Security.
The former U.S. president has said he would make Social Security income tax-free. That’s problematic because those revenues help to fund the program and the loss of that money means Social Security would be unable to pay out its full benefits in fiscal year 2031, according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a fiscal watchdog.
“That’s one of the big issues for our folks,” said Laura Dickerson, the United Auto Worker’s Region 1A director in Michigan. “People need to think about that they do not want to fully fund Social Security.”
The UAW has twice as many staff working on turnout compared to 2020 and 2016, enabling the union to directly contact all of its members and retirees and families of its members in support of Harris. (AP)

US Election 2024 live: The dollar dropped and US Treasuries rallied as investors walked back bets on Donald Trump winning the presidential election after weekend polls indicated Kamala Harris was gaining ground.
An index of the greenback dropped the most in six weeks. Ten-year Treasury yields fell 10 basis points to 4.28%. The Mexican peso — which tumbled in the aftermath of Trump’s 2016 victory — was among the top performing major currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
Harris received some encouraging signals from an ABC News and Ipsos poll giving her a 49%-46% edge nationally against Trump in the race for the White House.

US Election 2024 live: A victory of Donald Trump in the upcoming US presidential elections could lead to a stronger US dollar says a report by Barclays.
The report noted that in previous US presidential elections, such as in 2019, a possible Trump win was also linked with expectations of a stronger dollar.
The report said "one key difference this time compared with 2019 is that a potential Trump victory would likely imply a stronger USD. This would likely complicate the policy calculus for some - but, importantly, not all - central banks in Emerging Asia".
As per the report, this anticipated strength in the dollar may influence the monetary policy strategies of some central banks, particularly in emerging markets across Asia. (ANI)
