Only 11 days left until Election Day.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have spent months courting crucial swing state voters who could ultimately decide the election. Trump returns to one of those states on Friday, holding a rally in Traverse City, Michigan. He will also be on hand for an interview with Joe Rogan on his mega-popular podcast.

Harris will appear at a rally in Houston, Texas, on Friday. The Lone Star State is widely expected to ultimately vote for Trump, but the vice president is expected to take the stage with Beyoncé to support Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred, who is defeating Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tries to dethrone.

A new poll shows that the key to mobilizing young voters could be peer pressure

From podcast appearances to celebrity endorsements, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump have pulled out all the stops to draw young voters to the polls in the final days of the 2024 presidential campaign.

For Harris, these efforts appear to be working.

The Harvard Youth Poll, released Friday, showed Harris 20 points ahead of Trump nationally among registered voters under 30. In the seven major swing states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Nevada and Wisconsin – where the race became more competitive, Harris’ lead fell to 9 points.

Opinion polls released Thursday reaffirm what has been clear for weeks: it is an incredibly close race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. The share of the electorate that can be swayed by candidates is shrinking as more people across the country head to the polls to vote early.

Trump led Harris by two percentage points in a Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday, within the survey’s margin of error. However, Harris led Trump by three percentage points in Tipp’s Tracking Poll.
