Republican Donald Trump warned that suburban residents were “under attack” by criminals, while his Democratic rival Kamala Harris said he was becoming increasingly unstable as the two presidential candidates campaigned across the South on Nov 2, just three days before the US presidential election.

       With opinion polls projecting a historically close election on Nov 5, Trump and Ms Harris stuck to familiar themes.

       At a rally in Gastonia, North Carolina, Trump said he would deport millions of immigrants if elected and warned that if Ms Harris were to win, “every town in America would be turned into a squalid, dangerous refugee camp.”
