PHILADELPHIA—While the Republican presidential nominee, former President Donald Trump, held a highly publicized rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, urged supporters to vote early at a rally in Philadelphia on Oct. 27.

According to the polls published by media organization RealClearPolitics, Harris is currently polling behind Trump by 0.6 percentage points on average in the Keystone State, whose 19 Electoral College votes make it the most influential battleground state in the 2024 election. In September, Harris was 1 percentage point ahead of Trump in the polling average.
