READING, Pennsylvania/ALLENTOWN, Pennsylvania — Donald Trump and Kamala Harris both predicted victory as they campaigned across Pennsylvania on Monday (Nov 4) in the final, frantic day of an exceptionally close US presidential election.

The campaign has seen head-spinning twists: two assassination attempts and a felony conviction for Republican former President Trump, and Democratic Vice President Harris' surprise elevation to the top of the ticket after President Joe Biden, 81, dropped his reelection bid under pressure from his own party. More than US$2.6 billion (S$3.43 billion) has been spent to sway voters' minds since March, according to AdImpact, an analytics firm.

Nevertheless, opinion polls show Trump, 78, and Harris, 60, virtually even. The winner may not be known for days after Tuesday's vote, though Trump has already signaled that he will attempt to fight any defeat, as he did in 2020.
