Last-minute race: How presidential candidates rush through American battlegrounds

The final stretch of presidential race shows intense activity as candidates criss-cross Americas battleground states. In just seven days more than forty high-energy events happened with most concentrated in seven states showing how tight this election might be

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz pulled off 27 events across eight states: the vice-president even hit five swing-states in a single day (which shows her teams dedication to reaching voters). Meanwhile Donald Trump and JD Vance organized 18 gatherings in nine different locations

Some non-swing state events became campaign high-points. Harris appeared with Beyonce in Texas last weekend; while Trump made an un-expected visit to New Mexico after his Madison Square Garden speech. Both candidates final push focuses on the mid-west - specifically Milwaukee Wisconsin where theyre both scheduled to appear tonight

Since July 21st campaign strategies show interesting patterns. Harris-Walz team completed 71 events while Trump-Vance pair managed 123 stops. Online advertising tells its own story: Harris spent $100 million (4 times Trumps budget) targeting women aged 25-34 on social media platforms

The money game shows clear differences. Harris raised $917.9 million this year versus Trumps $258.3 million. However Trump gets more individual donations in most swing states - his average contribution is $51 while Harris donors give around $115
