As Election Day approaches, both former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are making their final pushes in crucial swing states. Trump captivated crowds in Rocky Mount, North Carolina before a high-energy rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he was joined by former NFL star Brett Favre. Trump’s message of economic strength, border security, and traditional values clearly resonated with the enthusiastic audiences.
Meanwhile, Harris embarked on a tour of North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, aiming to rally support with her so-called “closing argument.” However, many conservatives remain skeptical of her track record and her campaign’s left-leaning policies.
On the GOP side, Senator JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, held a town hall in Pennsylvania, joined by former Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. Their message was clear: under Democrat control, America has suffered. Vance stated that he and Trump are committed to “bringing America back to its conservative roots.”
Trump’s Push for Black Voters
In a powerful move to reach Black voters, the Trump campaign released a video titled “I’m Not With Her.” The video featured Black men from around the country affirming their support for Trump, with one of them, Henry Ike, saying, “I believe Donald J. Trump is well-suited for the job because he’ll bring back manufacturing to our country, create economic growth, and most importantly, preserve our traditional values.”
Harris, however, downplayed the impact of this support. In an interview, she said, “The brothers aren’t saying that. I was just at a barbershop in Philly… these Black men were talking about not only their support for me but, most importantly, their support for my perspective.”
Trump Stands for Women’s Rights
During his rally in Wisconsin, Trump stated his unwavering commitment to protecting women, even if some might disagree. “I said, ‘Well, I’m going to do it, whether the women like it or not,’” Trump said, referring to his firm stance on women’s issues.
The Harris campaign was quick to respond, accusing Trump of attempting to control women’s choices. Harris spokesperson Sarafina Chitika commented, “Donald Trump thinks he knows better than the women of America… he’s going to ban abortion nationwide whether we like it or not.” But Trump’s team fired back, with spokesperson Karoline Leavitt asserting, “Harris… has implemented dangerously liberal policies that have left women worse off financially and far less safe than we were under President Trump.”
The 2024 race remains tight, especially in swing states, where polling indicates razor-thin margins. Trump continues to push his pro-American, conservative vision as the way forward for America, while Harris rallies for a continuation of liberal policies. Only time will tell if Americans are ready to put their faith back in Trump to lead them into the future.
