Harris and Trump campaigns offer conflicting views on early voting trends

The campaigns for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are presenting differing views on early voting trends as Election Day approaches. Over 68 million Americans have voted early, with Republicans showing a slight edge in several battleground states compared to 2020. Despite the Republican advantage in early voting, experts suggest that many early Republican voters are simply shifting their votes from Election Day rather than attracting new supporters. Both campaigns express optimism, with Harris's team noting strong late-deciding voter support. Overall, early voting numbers are down from 2020, reflecting changes since the pandemic. The race remains very close, with both campaigns focusing on mobilizing their supporters for the final push before the election.
