John Bickley和Georgia Howe：大选进入最后阶段，候选人都在关键摇摆州进行拉票活动，选民需要谨慎做出选择。部分女性选民由于对跨性别议程的反弹而转向支持特朗普。哈里斯竞选团队被指控操纵社交媒体平台，以提升其受欢迎程度并传播虚假信息。
Tim Rice：特朗普和哈里斯都集中在少数关键摇摆州，并举行竞争性竞选活动。双方的竞选资金投入也反映了他们的竞选策略，例如在威斯康星州和宾夕法尼亚州的巨额投入。哈里斯竞选团队在密歇根州的广告支出远超特朗普，这可能反映了他们对失去阿拉伯和穆斯林选民支持的担忧。哈里斯竞选团队取消了在北卡罗来纳州的广告购买，以及特朗普访问新墨西哥州，都显示出竞选策略的调整。
Mary Margaret Olihan：共和党正在直面处理跨性别议程，利用家长对男女体育、儿童变性手术和学校性内容的担忧。一些关键事件，例如劳登县性侵犯案和家长反对学校意识形态的起义，促使特朗普将跨性别议题作为竞选焦点。疫情期间，家长们对学校课堂内容有了更多了解，引发了对激进内容的愤怒，并推动了对跨性别议题的讨论。特朗普的竞选广告强调了民主党对跨性别议题的立场，并取得了显著效果，特别是关于哈里斯支持为囚犯提供变性手术的广告。民调显示，关于跨性别运动员的议题对女性选民非常有效。特朗普在竞选中强调反对跨性别者参与女子体育运动，反对为儿童进行变性手术，并承诺削减资助推行激进意识形态的学校的资金。
Amanda Prestigiac：哈里斯竞选团队被指控在Reddit和X平台上进行协调行动，以提升其受欢迎程度并传播有利于哈里斯的信息。调查显示，哈里斯竞选团队利用Discord组织大规模的虚假宣传活动，以提升有利于哈里斯的内容。哈里斯竞选团队的行动似乎违反了Reddit的规定，并且其目标是让哈里斯显得比实际更受欢迎。哈里斯竞选团队还在X平台上进行类似的活动，例如阻止对哈里斯不利的社区评论。谷歌也参与了哈里斯竞选团队的操纵行为，允许其修改主流媒体文章的标题和副标题。哈里斯竞选团队对曝光其操纵行为的账号进行了封禁，马斯克宣布将对哈里斯竞选团队的行为进行调查。
