"We have an opportunity in this election to turn the page on a decade of Donald Trump, who has spent full time trying to have the American people point fingers at each other," Harris said on Friday at a rally in Janesville, Wisconsin.

Trump on Friday described the election as a choice for voters on whether they want “four more years of gross incompetence and failure” or whether they want to begin “the four greatest years in the history” of the US.

Meanwhile, the US government blamed Russia for spreading a fake voting video in which a Haitian immigrant claimed to have voted multiple times. US officials said it was part of "Moscow's broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election".

Moscow on Saturday denied allegations that "Russian influence actors" were behind the fake video.

"We have noticed the statement of the U.S. intelligence services accusing our country of disseminating fabricated videos about electoral violations in the United States. We view these allegations as baseless," the Russian embassy in the United States said in a statement on Telegram.

More than 70 million Americans have already cast ballots, according to the Election Lab at the University of Florida.

US Election 2024 live: Michigan city worries about delayed election results

US Election 2024 live: Election officials in Michigan expressed worry that the city of Warren could lag behind the rest of the state in reporting the election results.

The city opted not to take advantage of changes enacted in a 2022 state law that allowed for up to eight days of pre-processing of absentee ballots. Instead, the city of 135,000 people will wait until Election Day to verify and tabulate more than 20,000 mail-in ballots.

The potential delay from Warren has worried some Democratic leaders that it could leave the results appearing artificially high for Republican Donald Trump on Tuesday evening, and that the former president would seek to exploit the situation by falsely declaring victory in the state before all votes were in.

US Election 2024 live: Trump's rhetoric against Cheney draws blowback

US Election 2024 live: Donald Trump suggested that one of his most vociferous critics, Republican Liz Cheney, would be less of a “war hawk” if she experienced combat conditions herself — employing violent imagery that the former Republican congresswoman cast as a threat and creating the latest flashpoint in the race with Vice President Kamala Harris.

Cheney responded in a post on X Friday, saying, “This is how dictators destroy free nations. They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant".
