US News: With just 11 days left in the US election, the Democrats face a tight race despite initially appearing more secure. The gamble of replacing Joe Biden with Kamala Harris has led to a “dead heat” in the polls, with Harris struggling to win public approval. Despite significant campaign spending, poll leads have narrowed, and Republicans have gained traction on key issues like immigration. Additionally, traditional Democratic support among Muslim-Americans and Hispanic men has waned, with Trump gaining unexpected backing. The Democrats’ uphill battle is complicated by lingering voter scepticism and the challenge of overcoming the Republican edge in swing states.
