Trump vs. Harris: Who is leading the latest polls in Pennsylvania?

With just hours until the Democratic National Convention kicks off in Chicago, the race between Trump and Harris remains "very close" in Pennsylvania, according to New York Times polls.

On Monday, Kamala Harris had a slight edge over Donald Trump with 49 percent of the polling average. The former president currently sits at 48 percent.

Pennsylvania remains a critical win as both parties continue to focus their campaigns across the battleground state.

Harris and her running mate Tim Walz kicked off a bus tour in Pittsburgh on Sunday, while Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance countered with campaign stops in York and Philadelphia on Monday.
