Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are approaching the final weeks of the 2024 presidential election.

On Thursday, Harris is focusing her campaign on one key state: Wisconsin. Meanwhile, Trump will attend a long-standing political tradition in New York City known as the Al Smith Dinner.

Regardless of where they are in the campaign, Harris and Trump will spend the weeks leading up to Election Day making their final pitches to voters across the country, outlining how they would address issues ranging from inflation to the southern border on abortion rights.

Check back here for live coverage from across the USA TODAY network.

Where are Kamala Harris and Donald Trump in the polls?

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are neck and neck in the race for the White House in 2024. The Real Clear Politics average of national polls puts Harris ahead of Trump by 1.7 percentage points.

The polling averages from the battleground states are even closer. For example, Trump is ahead of Harris by 1.1 percentage points in Arizona and Harris is ahead of Trump by 0.3 percentage points in Wisconsin.

Where is Donald Trump campaigning on Thursday?

Donald Trump attends the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation’s annual dinner, a charity event, in New York City on Thursday. It is known for prominent politicians making fun of each other and current issues.

The Al Smith Dinner benefits Catholic Charities. Smith was known for his sense of humor, and speakers at the event often made disparaging comments about themselves or others.

The Harris campaign confirmed to USA TODAY that the Democratic presidential nominee will not attend the dinner scheduled for Oct. 17 as they want to focus on the battleground states that are close to the election.
