- Kamala Targets Trump’s Age and Mental Health in Interviews.
- While Trump Focuses on U.S. Economy in Campaign
The upcoming U.S. presidential election on November 5th is shaping up to be a tight contest, with every vote carrying significant weight, particularly in the seven key swing states. Both candidates, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, are working tirelessly to secure each vote. On Tuesday, Trump, the Republican candidate, focused his efforts on appealing to Latin voters, while Democratic candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris was engaged in media interviews to reach a wider audience.
Swing voters could play a decisive role in this year’s election, as their preference may tip the scales in favor of either candidate. As a result, both campaigns are pouring millions of dollars into targeting these crucial voters. With just two weeks remaining until Election Day, various polls are reflecting a close race between the two candidates.
This election is set to make history, regardless of the outcome. The U.S. could see its first female president, or Donald Trump could become the first candidate facing criminal charges to win the presidency.
Recently, Kamala Harris turned 60, while her opponent Donald Trump is 78 years old. Harris has taken a critical stance on Trump’s age and mental fitness during her campaign. She also sat down for an interview with NBC News on Tuesday. To support her campaign, former President Barack Obama is actively participating, rallying for Harris in key states like Wisconsin and Michigan. Meanwhile, Trump is intensifying his stance against immigration and engaging directly with Latin voters through roundtable meetings in Florida, followed by campaign events in North Carolina. Trump’s campaign has focused heavily on economic issues, although he often touches on other topics during his speeches.
As the election nears, early voting is in full swing across several states. Recently, Florida and Wisconsin joined the list of 47 states, including the District of Columbia, that have opened up early voting. In Florida, early voting began on Monday, while Wisconsin started on Tuesday. This process typically runs until November 3rd, allowing voters to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.
Last week, Georgia also saw the start of early voting, with record numbers of voters participating. Among the U.S. states, Alabama, Mississippi, and New Hampshire are the only ones where early in-person voting is not available, and they have strict rules for mail-in ballots.
According to Election Project, an independent organization, around 15 million voters have already cast their ballots through early or mail-in voting. This number accounts for about 10% of the total turnout seen in the 2020 election, highlighting the significance of early voter participation.
