Keep up to date with all the latest updates below.
‘Shoot through the fake media’: Trump
In Lititz, Pennsylvania, former President Donald Trump spoke about his increased security at rallies following attempts on his life.
“To get me, someone would have to shoot through the fake news, and I don’t mind that so much,” Mr Trump said.
The Republican nominee often calls media outlets “fake news”, claiming they show bias and do not report on the good he does.
Harris preaches to the converted
Vice President Kamala Harris attended a Sunday service at Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ in Detroit Michigan, telling the congregation that they “have the power”.
“So church, in just two days we have the power to decide the fate of our nation — for generations to come,” Harris said at the start of her remarks to the congregation.
The Democratic nominee then quoted scripture from Jeremiah, saying: “For I know the plans I have for you. They are the plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
It was a move well received by the religious crowd who broke into cheers and applause.
She told church-goers that it was “not enough to only pray”, asking them to make a plan a vote.
What are Trump and Harris doing today?
It’s Sunday in the US and Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are making last ditched efforts to secure strong voter turnout out.
Ms Harris is spending the day in Michigan whilst Mr Trump is in Pennsylvania.
Trump slams ‘fake’ poll
Former President Donald Trump has slammed a “fake” poll that says he is down in Iowa, with Vice President Kamala Harris taking a significant lead.
“One of my enemies just puts out a poll — I’m 3 down. (Iowa Sen.) Joni Ernst called me, everyone’s called me, they said you’re killing in Iowa,” he said at a rally in Pennsylvania.
“The farmers love me and I love them.
The last Iowa poll to be released before election day showed Ms Harris at 47 per cent compared to Mr Trump at 44 per cent.
Joe Hockey says voter turn-out is the unknown
As Kamala Harris and Donald Trump make their final pitches to voters ahead of the election on Wednesday, Australian time, former ambassador Joe Hockey said most Americans had already made up their minds on who they want to run the country.
With polling still showing a tight race for the presidency, Mr Hockey said it was possible it would take days after the election to determine who would win the vote.
“Unlike Australia, where we have compulsory turnouts and elections here, it is a mystery how many new voters will come out and how they’re going to vote,” he told ABC’s Insiders program on Sunday.
“It’s going to come as a surprise to Australians, given there are so many polls that we’re in a position where we can’t pick the winner, but the fact is, no one knows how big the turnout is going to be.
“It is the most unpredictable and closest election in American history, and no one knows the result. No one knows the implications of it with any certainty.”
More than 70 million Americans have already cast their ballot ahead of election day, while the outcome is set to come down to just a handful of swing states.
Mr Hockey said a second Trump presidency would not be different to that of his original term.
“Donald Trump 2.0 won’t be a hell of a lot different to Donald Trump 1.0 and that’s good for us,” he said.
“It offers some measure of predictability, whereas Harris will be a little less predictable because she needs to differentiate herself from the Biden presidency.”
