More than 40 million people have voted as of Sunday.

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 less than two weeks to go.

As of 8:30 a.m. PT on Oct. 27, over 40.1 million Americans have cast a vote through early voting methods, as of Saturday evening, according to data from the University of Florida's Election Lab.
The majority of those early votes come from mail ballots with over 20.8 million mail ballots returned nationally, the data showed. The remaining 19.2 million come from votes cast at in-person early voting polling sites across the country.
Early voting options are now open to voters in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Many early voting periods will last until the weekend before Election Day.


Republican vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance, speaking during a town hall with North Carolina voters on Friday, said U.S. adversaries don't fear Vice President Kamala Harris.
"Why do you have Russia invading Ukraine during Kamala Harris' watch and why do you have Iran and Hamas attacking Israel during Kamala Harris' watch?" Vance said at the town hall in Monroe, North Carolina, moderated by Republican National Committee Co-Chair Laura Trump. "And why do you have China saber rattling during Kamala Harris' watch? It's because who could possibly fear Kamala Harris? No one, right?"
Vance added, "This is a woman who is terrified of softball media interviews and we think that she's going to sit in a room with Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping."
Vance said that when former President Donald Trump was in office, U.S. adversaries feared the former president.
"That fear kept a lot of aggression in check, and it kept a lot of wars that otherwise would have started from starting in the first place," Vance said.

Russian actors made a widely circulated video falsely depicting mail-in ballots for Donald Trump being destroyed in Pennsylvania.
That's according to a statement from the FBI and other U.S. officials released Friday.
A video that showed mail-in ballots for Trump apparently being destroyed in a suburban Philadelphia county took off quickly on social media Thursday afternoon.
U.S. officials said in a statement sent by the FBI that they believe the video was "manufactured and amplified" by Russian actors.
The officials say it's part of "Moscow's broader effort to raise unfounded questions about the integrity of the US election and stoke divisions among Americans."

Harris will go after Trump in her speech in Houston, Texas, on Friday night that will focus on reproductive rights.
"The Attorney General of Texas is suing the United States Government so that Texas prosecutors can get their hands on the private medical records of women who leave the state to get care," Harris will say, according to released excerpts of her speech.

"So, see what is happening: Donald Trump won't let anyone see his medical records. But these guys want to get their hands on yours? Simply put: They are out of their minds," she will say.
The vice president will reiterate her campaign pledge to push Congress to pass a bill restoring Roe v. Wade if elected.
"We are fighting for an America where, no matter who you are, or where you live, you can make that decision based on what is right for you and your family," Harris will say.
