With less than 48 hours to go in the US election and more than 77.6m votes already cast, new polling shows Kamala Harris leading among early voters in the country’s battleground states.

The Democratic candidate has an 8 percent lead among those who have already voted, while her opponent, Donald Trump, is ahead among those who say they are very likely to vote but have not yet done so.

With only hours of campaigning left, Harris was speaking in Michigan, while Trump used a rally in Pennsylvania to complain about gaps in the bulletproof shields surrounding him and suggested he would have no concerns about reporters being shot at if there were another assassination attempt against him.

Trump said, to get him, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and he doesn’t mind that so much.

He adds that the press were “seriously corrupt people”.

Trump’s communications director claimed in a statement the comments were supposedly an effort to look out for the welfare of the news media.
