Harris and Trump race to deliver closing pitches

New York [US], November 4: With only two days until the US presidential election, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump were campaigning in battleground states, with Trump holding a rally in Pennsylvania and Harris spending the day in Michigan, on Sunday.
Former President Donald Trump on Sunday said he thought he "shouldn't have left" the White House after he lost the 2020 election that he has not conceded.
"We had the safest border in the history of our country the day that I left. I shouldn't have left. I mean, honestly, because . we did so well, we had such a great - so now, I mean every, every polling booth has hundreds of lawyers standing there," Trump said during a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania.
The former president has refused to concede the 2020 election and has promoted election conspiracy theories.
Vice President Kamala Harris delivered remarks at Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ in Detroit on Sunday. "So church, in just two days we have the power to decide the fate of our nation - for generations to come," Harris said at the start of her remarks to the congregation.
The vice president then quoted a line from scripture from the prophet Jeremiah, which garnered cheers and applause. "For I know the plans I have for you. They are the plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope," Harris said.
She added that God's plan is to "heal us and bring us together as one nation," but that it is not enough to believe in those plans, "we must act."
Without mentioning her Republican rival former President Trump, the vice president said there are some people who are trying to "sow hate, spread fear and spread chaos."Harris was spending the day in the critical battleground state of Michigan.
Trump is no longer leading in Iowa, according to a new Des Moines Register and Mediacom poll, which found no clear leader in a state he carried in 2016 and 2020. Other recent polls show a tight race nationwide and in battleground states.
Trump said Sunday that he wouldn't mind if somebody had to "shoot through the fake news" to get to him, adding to a long list of derogatory comments the former president has made against the press.
Trump was speaking about the measures taken to ensure his safety following the two assassination attempts against him, specifically complaining about how the bulletproof glass makes him appear less appealing on television. Trump on Sunday continued to slam the final Iowa Poll from the Des Moines Register and Mediacom, which shows him trailing Vice President Kamala Harris by 3 points among likely voters.
Trump said the poll, released Saturday, was "fake," asserting: "I'm not down in Iowa." The final Iowa Poll before Election Day showed Harris at 47% to Trump's 44%, a margin that falls within the poll's margin of error and suggests no clear leader in a state once widely viewed as a solid GOP win. Trump won the state in 2016 and 2020. (Agencies)
