In the final push ahead of the US election, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump addressed competing rallies in Wisconsin, five days before election day, to gain an edge over each other in the key battleground state.
Democratic nominee Harris is now enjoying a slight lead in both Michigan and Wisconsin, although she and Republican candidate Trump are tied in Pennsylvania, according to the latest CNN polls.
In Michigan, Harris is leading Trump by 48 percent to 43 percent among likely voters, the study finds.
Harris is also leading Trump in Wisconsin, where 51 percent support her to 45 percent for Trump, but the race is tied in Pennsylvania with both having 48 percent support.
As the battle for the White House went neck and neck, Trump launched a hard-hitting attack on Harris while drawing on President Joe Biden's comments that appear to characterize Trump's followers as "garbage. "
In a garbage-collecting vest, Mr. Trump made his way in a garbage truck to a rally near Green Bay in Wisconsin yesterday and spoke before thousands of his supporters at the site of the earlier rally where he claimed that Harris has no quality required to be the President of the country.
"My response to Joe and Kamala is very simple: You can't lead America if you don't love Americans, it's true. You can't be president if you hate the American people, which I believe they do, and Kamala Harris is not fit to be president of the United States," he said.
Trump had also addressed the reporters just before the rally.
"How do you like my garbage truck? This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden," he said.
"For Joe Biden to make that statement-it's really a disgrace," he said.
Earlier, Harris distanced herself from Biden's "garbage" remarks, saying she strongly disagrees with criticizing anybody based on how they vote.
"I'm honest about what I say: When elected president of the United States, I will represent all Americans, those who don't vote for me and their needs and their desires," she said.
US Presidential Election Day is on November 5.
More than 59 million Americans have already voted in early voting.
Official figures show 31,018,125 early votes were cast in person, while 27,952,363 others were through mail.
Winning the White House would require a candidate to tally 270 of the 538 electoral votes available.
The seven swing states considered critical to determine the outcome of an election include Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
