Kamala Harris, running for the post of President in the upcoming US elections 2024, has received tremendous support from Hollywood stars and America's leading music industry pop stars during her presidential campaign rallies. From Taylor Swift to George Clooney, Bruce Springsteen to Oprah Winfrey, Julia Roberts to Jennifer Garner, the boldfaced names have declared their support for presidential candidate Kamala Harris. The California-born VP has long had a lot of friends in Hollywood. While actor Jennifer Garner addressed a crowd of «Moms for Harris» gathered at a tearoom in Tucson, Arizona, Julia Roberts visited her home state of Georgia and was introduced by former state Representative Stacey Abrams, reported Reuters. Celebrity endorsers are part of the down-to-the-wire blitz to mobilize voters ahead of Election Day on November 5. Harris received a big boost from Actor Jane Fonda, an advocate for action on climate change, who knocked on doors in Michigan to tout Kamala and other «climate champions».

Donald Trump, who still refuses to accept that he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden, says he wants a presidential victory Nov. 5 to be so overwhelming that the results are «too big to rig.» «We want a landslide,» he recently told supporters in Georgia. «We can't let anything happen.» No matter the margins, Republicans and Democrats are preparing for a potentially lengthy battle over the results once they come in. Dozens of lawsuits that could set the stage for challenges after the votes are counted are already playing out in courts across the country. Most have been filed by Republicans and their allies. Many of the cases involve challenges to mail-in balloting, ballots from overseas voters and claims of voting by people who are not U.S citizens.

US elections nearing a kick off this November, things are becoming increasingly competitive among the Republicans as well as the Democrats. For starters, the battleground states have now become extremely important for both candidates to get an upper hand in the polls. Earlier poll data had suggested that Kamala Harris was comfortably leading in the election race, but the current and the past week have somehow turned the tide in Donald Trump's favor as the former US President has been seen all levelled up in the latest poll data.

Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump hit the campaign trail on Saturday, pressing their case with voters from Georgia to Pennsylvania who are already starting to cast ballots in the U.S. presidential election. Harris and Trump are essentially tied in the most competitive states and many Americans are already voting early by mail or in person, with just 17 days until the election. On Saturday, Harris will host a get-out-the-vote event in Detroit, Michigan, for the city's first day of early voting, alongside Michigan-born rapper Lizzo.

Donald Trump may have finally got the oxygen to race ahead of Kamala Harris in the US elections this November as there are reports that he is slowly pulling ahead of his Democrat rival in the latest polls. Will he be able to edge out a victory in the end? Kamala Harris may have been leading steadily in the US election race ever since she joined the Presidential ticket after Joe Biden's exit, but things are finally starting to change as the election trend is now portraying that everything is not going the Democrats way, as the reigning VP is slowly falling behind in the poll race.

Kamala Harris and her campaign is actually celebrating a latest ruling by a Georgia judge who has temporarily blocked a very new rule which required election officials to hand count ballots following machine tabulation of votes, reported Fox News. Actually, the rule was all set to take effect on and from October 22 and made a mandate that there will be three county election officials who will manually count ballots at each polling place which eventually raised concerns about potential delays and voter uncertainties, as per a report. According to Fox News, a joint statement was issued on behalf of Georgia Democratic Party Chair Rep. Nikema Williams, DNC acting Co-Executive Director Monica Guardiola and Harris- Walz Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks criticizing the rule claiming it as an attempt to undermine confidence in the electoral process.

Even top pollsters and survey data were predicting a major victory for Kamala Harris, with some even claiming that she was ahead in most of the key swing states. But is she still so ahead in the election race?
