The race for the White House is heading into the final stretch with most polls showing Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump neck-and-neck in key states with two weeks to go.
Over 21M Americans have voted early as of Tuesday afternoon
Over 21 million Americans have voted early as of Tuesday afternoon, according to data from Election Lab at the University of Florida.
Roughly 7.8 million votes have come in through early in-person methods while the remaining votes -- over 13 million -- have been cast through mail ballots, the data showed.
There is a large showing of early votes in the swing state of Georgia which has seen record early vote turnout since early in-person voting began last week.
As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 1.84 million Georgians, roughly one in four registered voters, have cast their ballot, with over 1.74 million votes cast at early voting polling places across the state according to Georgia's Secretary of State office.

Cheney keeps up fire on Trump over Jan. 6
Former Rep. Liz Cheney tore into Trump on Tuesday over the Jan. 6, mob attack on the U.S. Capitol and his tariff policies.
Speaking with ABC News' Jonathan Karl, Cheney excoriated Trump as unfit for office and a threat to American democracy for his role in sparking the mob, echoing an argument she's been making on the campaign trail with Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate.
"I believe he's unfit, and he's dangerous, but I made the decision beyond that to endorse Vice President Harris. And it is certainly the case that there are policies on which we disagree, but she is somebody who's devoted her life to public service. She is somebody who, even if you disagree with her, and maybe especially if you disagree with her, I can tell you, she will listen," Cheney, of Wyoming, said at the Detroit Economic Club.
"You all in business, when you think about, what are you looking for in somebody you hire, you're looking for somebody that you can trust, you're looking for somebody who's going to be responsible, who's going to operate in good faith," she told the audience. "You certainly wouldn't hire somebody who was unstable and erratic. And we need to think about this election in those terms."

Biden warns Trump will eliminate Inflation Reduction Act, Obamacare if elected
President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders teamed up Tuesday afternoon at an event in Concord, New Hampshire, to tout a new report showing Medicare enrollees saved nearly $1 billion on their prescription drugs so far in 2024 through the Inflation Reduction Act.
Biden warned that this progress could be undone if Trump wins in November.
"Trump and MAGA Republicans want to eliminate the Inflation Reduction Act, which we're talking about, the big bill which made all these savings possible, raising prescription drug prices again for millions of Americans," he said.
Biden said Trump and the GOP have tried to replace the Affordable Care Act 51 times and mocked the former president for having only a "concept of a plan."
Biden said if Harris isn’t elected, Trump will “kick 45 million people off their health insurance,” give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans, get rid of the Department of Education and gut Social Security and Medicare.
"He’ll hurt hard-working people," he said.

Vance pushes GOTV message in Arizona
In his fourth visit to the swing state of Arizona, vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance had one simple message to voters: get out and vote for Trump.
"Here's the scenario that I want you to consider, and I don't mean to give you nightmare fuel here, but I'm going to do it," Vance said. "We wake up on November the 6th and Kamala Harris is barely elected President of the United States by a 700-vote margin in the state of Arizona. Think about that and ask yourself what you can do from now until then to make sure it doesn't happen."
Asked by local reporters what's the strategy to get across the finish line with those who are still undecided, Vance asked them to look at the former president's record, arguing that America was in a better position with him as commander-in-chief.
Asked if he's confident in the Arizona election system and if he's going to accept the results of the 2024 election, Vance said he thinks "that we're in a better place than we were in 2020."

Harris says she believes Trump could declare victory before all votes counted
Harris acknowledged Tuesday that “of course” it is possible that Trump could declare victory before all the votes are counted next month.
"This is a person, Donald Trump, who tried to undo a free and fair election, who still denies the will of the people, who incited a violent mob to attack the United States Capitol and 140 law enforcement officers were attacked, some who were killed," Harris told NBC's Hallie Jackson in a clip of their interview that was released Tuesday afternoon.
Harris said that she and her team "will deal with election night and the days after as they come, and we have the resources and the expertise and the focus" on that scenario.

Georgia Supreme Court unanimously rejects controversial election rules
The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday denied an effort from the Republican National Committee to reinstate a series of election rules, including requiring ballots be counted by hand, after they previously were blocked by a lower judge.
The state's high court ruling was unanimous, according to the order.
The lower court judge previously ruled that seven election rules passed by the state's Republican-led Election Board were "unlawful and void." The RNC then appealed, with RNC chairman Michael Whaley in statement saying the judge "exemplified the very worst of judicial activism."
The order from the Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday said the appeal "will proceed in the ordinary court" once it is docketed.
