US presidential candidates Harris and Trump are in a tight race in important states.
– Hannah? How are you, Hannah?
This is how the US Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris started the conversation, who set out to make campaign calls alongside volunteers in Pennsylvania.
News agency Reuters recorded the call of Harris, who stepped onto the field.
Despite the relaxed atmosphere of the conversation, there was a struggle going on.
Harris is still a relatively unknown figure to many, as he was overshadowed by the sitting president, Joe Biden, as vice president.
Harris must use every opportunity to become known and create a good public image in the race against Republican Donald Trump.
Harris and Trump are fighting fiercely for votes in the important state.

A tight race
The battle for votes between the contestants is particularly tight in Pennsylvania. Both Harris and Trump are currently touring the state.
Pennsylvania is one of the most important swing states in the presidential election. It has even been characterized as the most important area of the election.
Because of the US electoral system, winning individual states is important.
Gallup’s situation
Ex-President Trump won Pennsylvania by about 44,000 votes in 2016.
Incumbent President Joe Biden won by just over 80,000 votes in 2020.
According to opinion polls, the race between Harris and Trump in Pennsylvania is currently very tight.
According to FiveThirtyEight, a data site that follows the election, Harris currently has 46.2 percent and Trump 44.8 percent.
If Pennsylvanians were to vote today according to the site, Harris’ victory, despite the lead, would not be certain. That’s because of the margin of error.
In addition to Pennsylvania, important swing states in the election include, for example, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona and Georgia.
According to the New York Times, Trump is leading in Georgia. Harris, on the other hand, leads in Wisconsin and Michigan.
In Arizona, the candidates are tied with 47 percent support.
