Election Day is just three weeks away.
Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are making their pitches to voters across the country in the final stretch of the 2024 election.

Trump is set to deliver remarks in Atlanta, Georgia, on Tuesday evening, traveling to another pivotal swing state that could decide the race for the White House.
Keep up with the USA TODAY Network’s live coverage.
When we know the results of the 2024 election?
It’s not clear. Voters from coast to coast will want to know whether Donald Trump or Kamala Harris won the 2024 race for the White House on Election Day, but it’s not likely.
Election officials will have millions of votes to tabulate, following specific procedures, and the candidates could launch legal challenges in some states.

Trump takes questions at Economic Club of Chicago but declines to answer several
Donald Trump took questions Tuesday during an interview before the Economic Club of Chicago, but he declined to answer several inquiries from Bloomberg editor John Mickelthwait.
For example, Trump did not answer directly on whether he would seek the ouster of Fed Chair Jerome Powell, whether he would seek the break-up of Google, and whether he has speaks regularly with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Mickelthwait also pressed Trump about the utility of tariffs, the centerpiece of Trump’s economic proposals, and whether he would accept the outcome of the election with his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.
At one point, Trump claimed that he had a “peaceful transfer of power” in early 2021; Mickelthwait, citing the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, said: “Come on, President Trump.”

Trump ally disagrees with GOP nominee’s suggestion to deploy military domestically
Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., told CNN Monday that he disagrees with former President Donald Trump’s suggestion to deploy the U.S. military inside the country to secure the election.
“That’s been long-standing law in our country since the founding of the republic,” Donalds told CNN’s Kasie Hunt.
The fierce Trump ally’s comments represent a break from the Republican nominee who told Fox News on Sunday that the military should be called “if really necessary” to deal with “radical-left lunatics” and “the enemy from within.”

Harris hits Trump on town hall

“Hope he’s okay,” said Trump’s opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, in a post on the social media platform X.
Trump, who cut short a town hall and called for a musical interlude after two medical emergencies interrupted the event, called the impromptu concert a success.
Referring to medical treatment of attendees, Trump said on his Truth Social platform: “We started playing music while we waited, and just kept it going. So different, but it ended up being a GREAT EVENING!”
