Trump and Harris hold last rallies in swing states

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump promised party time that he would beat Democrat Kamala Harris, focusing on immigration at his last rally in Georgia.

The event at an open-air amphitheater in Macon was the third visit to a swing state after Pennsylvania and North.

He opened his speech with a long passage blaming Harris for the arrival of migrants via the southern border and painting a bleak picture of a trail of violent crime.

He also warned of dire economic consequences and a repeat of the 1929 Great Depression if Harris were to be elected.

“Everybody's working as a unit because winning this vote and, by the way, winning this state, we win this state and it's over. It's over. So get out there and do it. Kamala's hurricane response was a disgrace and actually a betrayal,” Trump said.

Harris meanwhile was in Michigan visiting a historically Black church and making a pitch to Arab Americans.

Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris made her closing pitch for the US presidency at a rally in East Lansing, Michigan.

Harris addressed Michigan's 200,000 Arab Americans, starting her speech with a nod to civilian victims of Israel's conflict with Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

"This year has been difficult, given the scale of death and destruction in Gaza and given the civilian casualties and displacement in Lebanon, it is devastating. And as president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza," Harris said to applause.

Harris faces skepticism from some who are frustrated that she has not done more to help end the war in Gaza and scale back aid to Israel. 

Harris did not mention Trump's name during the 25-minute speech, only referring to certain individuals.

Opinion polls show the pair locked in a tight race, with Harris, 60, bolstered by strong support among female voters while Trump, 78, gains ground with Hispanic voters, especially men.
