Polls and predictions for the US presidential election show a close race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump as voters head to the polls on Election Day.
Both candidates gave their final speeches on Monday to voters in swing states who will decide in a historic election whether Trump or Harris will win.
Harris would be the first woman, the first black woman and the first person of South Asian descent to be elected president if she defeats Trump.
If Trump wins, he would be the first incoming president to be impeached and convicted of a crime, as well as the second president in history to win non-consecutive terms in the White House.
Harris spent Monday campaigning in Pennsylvania — his 19 electoral votes make the state the biggest "prize" among the battleground states that will determine the winner of the Electoral College.
Trump held rallies in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before wrapping up his campaign with a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday night.

prediction
FiveThirtyEight's forecasting model predicts a close race between Trump and Harris. Trump wins 53 out of 100, while Harris wins 46 out of 100 as of Sunday, according to FiveThirtyEight's election simulations.
The model, as of Nov. 2, projects Trump to secure 275 Electoral College votes to Harris' 268.
Decision Desk HQ and The Hill's forecast, updated Sunday, gives Trump a 54 percent chance of winning the election and Harris 46 percent. The projection predicts that Trump will secure 277 Electoral College votes, while Harris will receive 261.
"Trump remains a slight favorite to win the 2024 election, though the result is effectively a swing," says an analysis from Decision Desk HQ on Oct. 28. "Neither candidate is clearly favored in enough states to secure the necessary 270 electoral votes, with Trump currently at 235 and Harris at 226."
The Real Clear Polling map predicts that Trump will triumph in the Electoral College, with 287 votes for Trump to 251 for Harris.
The model predicts that Trump will break the "blue wall" and hold the battleground state of Pennsylvania, as well as Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and North Carolina. Harris is projected to carry Michigan and Wisconsin.
Statistician Nate Silver's model also favors Trump winning the Electoral College.
The former president has a 52.6% chance of winning the Electoral College, while Harris has a 47 percent chance, according to a Substack post on Monday. However, it finds that Harris is more likely to win the popular vote — with a 74.2 percent chance compared to 25.8 percent for Trump.
The model gives Trump a better chance of keeping Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, and Harris a better chance of winning Michigan and Wisconsin.
The Economist's forecasting model, updated Monday, predicts that Harris and Trump have an equal chance of winning the election. Both are predicted to win 50 out of 100 times.
