With Election Day 20 days away, many Americans across various states have already begun casting their votes. Vice President Kamala Harris is actively campaigning in Pennsylvania, focusing her efforts on engaging with moderate Republicans. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump participated in a town hall event taped in Georgia, aired on Fox News.
Trump is also working to connect with undecided Latino voters through a Univision town hall event scheduled to air later tonight. Earlier in the day, he addressed women voters on Fox News, addressing concerns about potentially losing their support. His message concentrated heavily on immigration and included some controversial language regarding Democrats, which has been part of his recent rhetoric.
Harris, on the other hand, is aiming to broaden her coalition by appealing to suburban voters who might have previously leaned Republican. She participated in an event in the Philadelphia suburbs alongside over a hundred Republicans, including former elected officials and ex-Trump aides, who have endorsed her. To further appeal to a wider audience, she has scheduled her first interview with Fox News host Bret Baier.
In response to Trump’s recent statements, Harris has shifted her campaign’s tone. While initially focusing on introducing herself and conveying a positive message, she is now echoing President Biden’s warnings about the consequences of another Trump administration. At her Pennsylvania event, she criticized Trump’s suggestions of using the military against perceived internal enemies and expressed concerns about potential threats to the press, election officials, and judges.
As Harris and Trump continue their campaigns, recent polling data indicates a tightening race, showing a closer contest than previous elections at this stage. In 2016 and 2020, Democratic candidates were performing better in the polls compared to Harris’s current standing against Trump. Past elections have seen polls misestimate Republican support, leaving uncertainty about current polling accuracy and potential biases. The final results will hinge on voter turnout and decisions as the election approaches.
