With only 10 days left until Election Day, the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump is intensifying. Recent national polls show that both candidates are neck-and-neck in the race to succeed President Biden in the White House. As the clock ticks down, Harris and Trump, along with their running mates, are actively campaigning in key battleground states.
Trump kicked off his weekend with a rally in Novi, Michigan, followed by another campaign stop in Pennsylvania. His running mate, Sen. JD Vance, also held campaign events in crucial swing states like Georgia and Pennsylvania. Top Trump surrogates, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, are rallying support for Trump in swing states like North Carolina.
Meanwhile, Harris is teaming up with former first lady Michelle Obama for a get-out-the-vote rally in Michigan. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, is making stops in battleground Arizona. Notably, Pennsylvania is a key focus for the Democrats, with first lady Jill Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders campaigning for Harris in the state.
The latest national polls show Harris and Trump deadlocked, with both candidates at 48% in one survey and 47% in another. While Harris lost her favorability advantage over Trump, the former president still faces challenges in being perceived as trustworthy and caring. However, the race for the White House ultimately comes down to the battleground states and their electoral votes.
In terms of campaign fundraising, Harris has a clear advantage over Trump. She raised $97 million in the first half of October, significantly more than the $16 million raised by the Trump campaign during the same period. Harris continues to outspend Trump and has a larger cash-on-hand advantage as well.
As the candidates make their final push in the remaining days before the election, the battle for the White House remains highly competitive. With both Harris and Trump actively campaigning in key states and focusing on mobilizing their supporters, the outcome of the election is still uncertain. Stay tuned as the race enters its final stretch.
