Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are spending their final weekend on the campaign trail, with just three days left before what could be one of the closest elections in history.

More than 60 million Americans have already cast their votes, but the candidates are still trying to convince the critical ultimate voters who could carry them to victory.

Both will go to Charlotte, in the critical swing state of North Carolina, where polls have the race deadlocked.

The vice president will then hold a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, while Trump will be in Virginia, a state that Republicans have not won in the presidential election since 2024.

Trump is still ahead of other oddsmakers such as Polymarket.

In Real Clear Politics’ average betting odds, Trump is ahead by almost 18 points.

Harris jokes about being president “in three days.”

Vice President Kamala Harris joked about winning the election in three days after a reporter accidentally called her “Madame President.”

She made this joke at the beginning of a conversation with traveling reporters, saying, “The road to the White House definitely goes through Milwaukee.”

When a reporter asked her about her faith and called her “Madam President,” she replied, “Not for the next three days.”

Harris usually likes to call himself the underdog in the closely contested race.

‘Nervous’ Bill Maher makes desperate appeal to undecided voters – and reveals why Kamala could lose election

Bill Maher has made a plea to undecided voters as he warned the “progressive ghost virus” could keep Kamala Harris from winning.

The comedian outlined the positive impact Biden and Democrats have had on the economy, including aggressively tackling inflation.

But he conceded that voters were likely looking for more reassurance on so-called Christmas Eve. Harris will not agree with “any anti-common sense idea that comes from the woke mind virus.”

“If she loses, that will be the main reason,” Maher warned on Friday during an episode of his HBO program Real Time.

He suggested that Democrats are afraid to admit that things are “not that bad,” and that “progressophobia” is part of the progressive ghost virus and could hinder their chances.

In the once blue heartland, that could be a surprise swing state — as Democrats prepare to do the unimaginable

New Hampshire has barely been mentioned in this presidential race, but a recent bump in Donald Trump’s polls suggests the Republican is undoing his opponent’s comfortable lead and could even throw the state into a dramatic upset on Tuesday.

In Concord, the state capital, Republican Party organizers have run out of Trump yard signs due to unexpected demand. In Pelham, dozens of locals showed up Wednesday night waving Trump flags, belting out rock anthems and tucking into pizza and cookies.

Up ahead, motorists honked their horns and stopped to take photos of a homemade yard sign portraying Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, as the goofy “Dumb and Dumber” characters from the 1994 film.

Republican campaigners in the Granite State are describing a “wave” of enthusiasm for Trump that is quickly erasing the roughly six percentage point lead that Harris enjoyed here until recently.

Voters across New Hampshire told DailyMail.com they felt momentum building behind the MAGA icon, and that his promises of a secure southern border and cheaper groceries and housing resonated.

Cardi B suffers awkward teleprompter blunder at Kamala Harris Milwaukee rally, sending staff into panic mode

Cardi B suffered an awkward teleprompter mishap at Kamala Harris’ rally on Friday and was forced to read her message of support for the vice president on her phone.

The outspoken rapper told the packed crowd in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that she was “not going to vote” until the vice president entered the race against “bully” Trump.

The Grammy winner then stopped singing when the teleprompter suddenly experienced a technical glitch.

For about a minute, she stood on stage wondering how to respond as the crowd cheered.

A staff member then had to frantically run to get her a phone so she could finish the remarks on the battlefield.

Both candidates held rallies within six miles of each other in the Milwaukee area last night as part of a frantic final push for votes in the largest county in the swing state of Wisconsin.
