In the last few days before the U.S. Presidential election, the race is nearly tied. Kamala Harris is polling slightly higher than Donald Trump, but not by a margin large enough for either candidate to be comfortable. Both campaigns are making their final pushes as the first votes of this election cycle are being cast.

Donald Trump held a rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Oct. 27th, filling the majority of the arena with his supporters. The speakers at this event, including the former president, have been widely criticized for making racist and xenophobic remarks. Most notably, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe has come under fire for referring to Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.” The rally also featured a rare appearance by Melania Trump, the former President’s wife, who has been notably absent from the Trump campaign in recent months.

Kamala Harris held back-to-back rallies last week, first in Georgia and then in Houston, Texas. Harris’ rally in Houston was opened with a speech by Beyoncé, who appealed to Texas voters as “a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in,” according to the Associated Press. This Houston rally comes as Rep. Colin Allred seeks to defeat Sen. Ted Cruz in a state that has not elected a Democrat senator in over thirty years. According to FiveThirtyEight, Allred is polling four points behind Cruz.

Early voting has begun in 47 states; all but Alabama, Mississippi and New Hampshire, which do not allow for early voting. According to NBC News, upwards of 45 million early and mail-in votes have been cast. Party registration of early and mail-in voters is skewed slightly Democratic, as it has been in previous years. Early votes are being counted, but have not been reported yet. Each state has its own laws regarding the counting of early votes. In Virginia, the votes are counted immediately, but are not reported to the public until after the polls close on election day.
