A Harris campaign adviser says the race could be won by less than a percentage point. Follow Newsweek's blog for live updates.
Top Harris campaign adviser David Plouffe has said that the election could be decided by less than a single percentage point in seven key states. Plouffe, Barack Obama's campaign manager in 2008 said it would be 'unusual to have seven states come down to a point or less.' It is a tight race between the two candidates in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada.
The razor-thin margins mean that Green Party candidate Jill Stein has faced fierce criticism for taking votes from the Democrats in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. She is predicted to take 1% of the vote in those states, giving Trump the edge. Polls show that Harris is still ahead and expected to win in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada, which would get her over the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win.
