US Presidential Election Live:
As the final campaign sprint unfolds, former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris intensify their rhetoric, reflecting a fiercely competitive race. According to multiple polls, the contest for the White House has become "neck and neck," with both sides vying to secure key voter support in the crucial final days.

While campaigning in Atlanta, Georgia, Republican candidate Donald Trump took aim at his critics, including former First Lady Michelle Obama and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Trump insisted he was "the opposite of a Nazi," pushing back against accusations of fascism, and referred to Michelle Obama as “nasty.”

Meanwhile, President Joe Biden, who has stepped back from running, hosted a Diwali celebration at the White House. With Election Day just around the corner, Biden praised Kamala Harris’s character and experience, saying, “I chose Kamala as my running mate for many reasons. She’s smart, she’s tough, she’s trusted. She has more experience than the other guy she’s running against. But most importantly—and I mean this from the bottom of my heart—she has character.”
