Is This The Closest Presidential Election Race in History?

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump remain in a close race for the White House, with less than 40 days to go until the election.

Recent polling averages have given Harris a slim lead nationally over Trump, well within the margin of error, and many battleground states remain toss-ups. The narrow gap between the candidates has prompted experts and commentators to say this is the closest presidential election history in decades, if not more than a century.

It is an "incredibly close election," Amy K Dacey of American University told Newsweek.

Dacey, the executive director of the university's Sine Institute of Policy & Politics, added that there would "be narrow margins in the battleground states, and every vote will matter to each candidate."
