Tight Race in Battleground States as Harris Sees Gains in Iowa
### US Election Live Updates
The race for the White House remains tight as election officials continue to count votes in several battleground states. Vice President Joe Biden is leading President Donald Trump in the national popular vote, but Trump is ahead in the Electoral College.
In Iowa, the race is particularly close. With 99% of precincts reporting, Biden leads by just 0.2%. If Biden wins Iowa, it would be a significant victory, as the state has voted for the Republican candidate in the last six presidential elections.
Harris has been a key surrogate for Biden throughout the campaign. She visited Iowa several times in the final weeks of the race and delivered a powerful speech at a rally in Des Moines on the eve of the election.
Harris's efforts appear to have paid off. According to a recent poll, Biden's lead in Iowa has grown by 4 points since Harris's visit.
If Biden wins Iowa, it would be a major boost to his campaign. It would also send a strong message that the Democrats are competitive in the Midwest.
The race for the White House is still too close to call, but Biden's lead in the national popular vote and his gains in Iowa provide him with momentum heading into the final days of the campaign.
