While Trump maintains a firm grip on his party overall, the Democrats are hopeful of winning over at least some Republicans who would prefer an alternative to the former president.
And in a race that looks like it could be one of the closest in US history, every single vote matters – at least in the seven so-called swing states expected to decide the outcome.
In the final few weeks of the race, millions of Americans will have had their say well before election day.
The shift towards early voting is a trend we've also seen reflected in past Australian elections.
Pennsylvania carries the highest number of electoral college votes of all the swing states, meaning it's possible it will end up deciding who takes the White House – just as it did in 2020. As such, officials in Pennsylvania are already warning it could be several days before results there are known, due to a state law preventing any mail-in ballots from being opened until election day.
And that means November 5 could be just the beginning of an incredibly tense election aftermath. Watch this space!!!
