Presidential election 2024 live updates: Kamala Harris takes lead over Trump in four swing states and in Iowa poll

Kamala Harris is getting a big boost, according to the latest New York Times/Siena poll before the election.

She is ahead of Trump in the critical swing states of Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina.

Trump takes the lead in one state – Arizona – and they are tied in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Kamala Harris is seeing a last-minute surge in momentum against Donald Trump in the final days of one of the closest presidential elections in history.

The vice president received a surprise shock on Saturday night when a poll showed her ahead in the reliably Republican state of Iowa, while DailyMail.com’s election forecast shows her ahead of the 78-year-old former president.

Angry viewers noticed that Kamala Harris’ SNL sketch was eerily similar to the one Donald Trump took part in during his 2015 campaign for president.

Harris could be seen talking to herself when she made a surprise appearance on Saturday night, sitting in front of a mirror chatting with actress Maya Rudolph who played the Democratic presidential candidate.

But viewers quickly noticed that the skit was strikingly similar to the one Trump made nine years earlier.

Donald Trump has admitted he was “so disappointed” when he saw Julia Roberts take part in a pro-Kamala Harris ad ahead of the election, saying she will “look back and cringe.”

In response, Trump said, “I’m so disappointed in Julia Roberts because I love… she’s going to look back on that and she’s going to cringe.”

Kamala Harris was criticized for using her “fake accent” during her surprise appearance on SNL on Saturday night.

The vice president has faced increasing accusations of using a “fake accent” in recent weeks, but with just days until the 2024 presidential election she cannot afford to lose any support, especially among black and younger voters, both of which determine a victory.

“Kamala Harris spent three hours rehearsing for this cringe-inducing party on SNL. Complete with the fake black accent. This is a cool watch. Good Lord,” one poster wrote.

Republicans outnumber Democrats in the crucial swing state by 44,500 votes.

That’s a good sign for Trump, who needs all the momentum he can get with just two days until the election.

Trump trails Kamala Harris by three points in Nevada, according to a new NYT/Siena poll.

Business is booming at the world’s largest wholesale market in Yiwu, China, as retailers look for cheap items to stock their shelves.

The city’s international trade center is an extensive network of 70,000 stalls spread over 12 floors.

But it’s not just traders who are watching closely; political observers have their eyes on a phenomenon they call the ‘Yiwu Index’.

The theory goes that the better a US political candidate’s replica items sell in Yiwu, the better their chances in the upcoming election.

Strikingly, the ‘Yiwu Index’ was a better predictor of Donald Trump’s victory in 2016 than pollsters, who were confident that Hillary Clinton would be the winner throughout the campaign.

The vice president laughed during her skit with Maya Rudolph on Saturday’s episode, putting on a similar giggling performance as Clinton in 2008 and 2016.

At one point, Harris even repeated a joke from Clinton’s skit to Amy Poehler, asking Rudolph, “I don’t really laugh like that, do I?”
