With the U.S. election looming, Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slight lead over former President Donald Trump in key battlegrounds Michigan and Wisconsin, according to a CNN poll. However, the race remains neck-and-neck in Pennsylvania, a pivotal state for both candidates.

As the campaign's final days unfold, accusations fly between Trump and Harris, each blaming the other for exacerbating national divisions. Legal controversies add to the tension, including a mail ballot deadline extension in Pennsylvania after a Trump lawsuit and the reinstatement of a voter roll purge in Virginia by the Supreme Court.
