Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris campaigns in Michigan on Sunday while her Republican rival Donald Trump stops in three eastern battleground states just two days before Tuesday's U.S. presidential election.
Opinion polls show a historically close race, and a New York Times/Siena College poll published on Sunday showed Vice President Harris and former President Trump neck-and-neck in the seven states that are likely to determine the outcome on Tuesday.
A poll showing Harris leading in Iowa -- a state Trump won easily in the past two elections -- raised the possibility of an unexpected outcome, though another poll showed her trailing in that state.
Harris is due to campaign in East Lansing, Michigan, a college town in an industrial state that is viewed as a must-win for the Democrat.
She faces skepticism from some of the state's 200,000 Arab Americans who are frustrated that the sitting vice president has not done more to help end the war in Gaza and scale back aid to Israel. Trump visited Dearborn, the heart of the Arab American community, on Friday and vowed to end the wars in the Middle East.
Trump is due to hold rallies in three smaller cities that could help him galvanize the rural voters who make up an important part of his base. He starts the day in Lititz, Pennsylvania, before heading to Kinston, North Carolina, in the afternoon and ending with an evening rally in Macon, Georgia.
It will be the first day since last Tuesday that the two candidates are not campaigning in the same state. On Saturday, their planes shared a swath of tarmac in Charlotte, North Carolina, where both candidates held rallies.
Harris later flew to New York for a surprise appearance on the "Saturday Night Live" comedy show.
