A week before election day, Polls say that Trump is leading in swing states also known as the battlegrounds while Democratic nominee Kamala Harris leads nationally.
Meanwhile, Harris has pledged to “turn the page on fear and divisiveness” at a campaign rally in the battleground state of Michigan.
While former US President Donald Trump, at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia, hit out at his critics, including former First Lady Michelle Obama, whom he called “nasty.” Al Jazeera reported.
