This is the Guardian.
From the Guardians today.
In focus, this is US ELECTION Extra with me, Lucy Hoff.
Today, it's Election Day eve and both campaigns are now on a final blitz of the key battleground states.
In Michigan, Kamala Harris has appealed to Arab American voters in a state where the war in Gaza could be the decisive issue.
And as president, I will do everything in my power to end the war in Gaza.
In Pennsylvania, Donald Trump struggles to stay on message and dredges up familiar grievances about stolen elections and being forced from the White House.
I shouldn't have left.
I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well.
And the Democrats welcome a shock poll in Iowa, a three point lead in a Republican state where Harris was thought to have no chance.
The Des Moines Regist is out with a brand new poll conducted by J.N.
selzer's firm and it shows Vice President Harris with a three point lead over.
Donald Trump in that state.
Joining me is Oliver Lachlan, the Guardian's US Southern bureau chief and presenter of the Anywhere But Washington series.
And Ollie, you're on the line with us from Michigan.
How tense is it feeling there?
I mean, it's kind of game time now really, isn't it?
I have been out with both sides over the past couple of days and unsurprisingly, both sides are convinced they're going to win.
I was at a Kamala Harris rally last night at Michigan State University, which is a really quite extraordinary display, I think, of how quickly this campaign has been built into a movement really in the space of only a few months.
There are a lot of much younger voters there, some people voting for the first time who were talking about how excited they were about casting their ballot for Kamala Harris.
