State of the race: Five takeaways 17 days out from the US election
Briefly

As of October 17, Kamala Harris leads Donald Trump by a razor-thin margin, with Harris at 48.3% and Trump at 46.3%, demonstrating a tight race ahead of the election.
Polls of swing states illustrate a troubling trend for the Democrats, with Trump gaining ground in critical battlegrounds like Arizona, indicating a potential shift in voter sentiment.
As the election nears, the campaigns are refocusing their strategies around age—with Harris celebrating her 60th birthday while drawing attention to Trump's age as he seeks to become the oldest president.
Analysts emphasize the unpredictability of the race, suggesting that while current polls reflect a tight contest, surprises could emerge before election day, making the outcome uncertain.
