As the 2024 presidential election nears, Trump and Harris make their closing arguments to their core supporters

As we head into the final week of the US 2024 presidential election campaign, Phelan US Centre Director, Professor Peter Trubowitz writes that the polls show a very close election which will likely be decided by a small number of swing states. While Vice President Kamala Harris is focusing on democracy and abortion rights in the final stretch to November 5th, former President Donald Trump is doubling down on male voters. To win, both campaigns need to mobilize their core supporters in swing states.
