US Presidential Election Heats Up: Harris and Trump Surge in Final Stretch – 10 Days to Go

Harris’s ‘right to terminate pregnancy’ VS Trump’s ‘America First’ all-out battle

“Neither side can be sure of victory… “The most intense election in modern history”

With the U.S. presidential election approaching in 10 days and showing signs of a historically close race, candidates from both parties launched a ‘last-minute spurt’. Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has gone into enemy territory and is making a winning move by highlighting the right to terminate pregnancy, which is an advantageous issue, while former Republican President Donald Trump appears to be focusing on building up his support base by making last-minute appeals to young men and others.

Harris highlights the ‘right to terminate pregnancy’ with support… Will we break through the ‘faltering’ situation?

Vice President Harris began to break through the extremely tight situation, receiving support from former first lady Michelle Obama and pop star Beyoncé. In particular, he adopted a strategy of clearly emphasizing the issue of the right to terminate pregnancy, on which he had the upper hand. It is interpreted as an attempt to appeal to the votes of female voters in swing states.

On the 26th (local time), Vice President Harris said at a campaign rally held in Kalamazoo, Michigan, a battleground state where she participated with Ms. Michelle, “Our fight is a fight for the future, and for the fundamental freedom of women to make decisions about their own bodies.” “It’s a fight against it,” he emphasized. Ms. Michelle supported Vice President Harris, warning that women’s lives would be in danger if former President Trump returned to the White House. Addressing male voters, he said, “I understand that some people feel angry and disillusioned with the slow pace of change,” but added, “If we don’t get the right results in this election, your wives, daughters, mothers, and our women will become innocent victims of your anger.” “He also appealed.

The day before, Vice President Harris visited Houston, Texas, which was almost like an ‘enemy camp’, and focused on the issue of the right to terminate pregnancy. Texas is considered a ‘red state’, a Republican stronghold in which the Democratic Party has never won a US presidential election in the past 48 years. Texas is also enforcing a very strict anti-abortion law that prohibits termination of pregnancy under any circumstances. Beyoncé, who is from Houston, joined the campaign and continued her speech in support of Harris.

“Our homeland, our borders” Focus on strengthening Trump’s support base

Former President Trump continued his strategy of emphasizing ‘America First’ and encouraging antipathy toward the Biden administration. Former President Trump also visited Michigan on the 26th and confronted Vice President Harris head-on. At a rally held in the southeastern city of Novai, he said, “After leaving behind many years of helping other countries build countries, establish borders, and protect foreign lands, we must build our own country, take care of our people, protect our borders, and fight illegal activities.” “It will make immigration illegal forever.”

The day before, former President Trump appeared on the world’s largest online podcast and was interviewed for over three hours. Referring to North Korea’s Chairman Kim Jong-un, he said, “We didn’t have any problems with him,” and added, “In my opinion, the internal enemy is a bigger problem.” Former President Trump has recently been criticized by the Harris camp for “threatening democracy” by calling the Democratic Party a “radical leftist” and an “internal enemy” and saying that the military could be mobilized to suppress them.

Politico, a U.S. political media outlet, assessed former President Trump’s appearance on a podcast so close to the presidential election as “an intention to secure the support of young male voters.” This is said to be an effort to attract young male users to the voting booth by making a last-minute appeal on a podcast.

NYT’s last national opinion poll was ‘tied’… I won’t know until it’s over

According to the results of a national opinion poll conducted by the New York Times (NYT) and Siena College and announced today, Vice President Harris and former President Trump were tied with 48% approval ratings each. The battle for the race that will decide the winner or loser is also close within 1%. In Pennsylvania (19), where the most electoral votes were at stake, the two candidates had the same approval rating at 48%. The same goes for Michigan and Nevada. Vice President Harris was ahead in Wisconsin, and former President Trump was ahead by 1 percentage point in North Carolina and Georgia.

The Washington Post (WP) said, “Neither Harris nor Trump can be certain of victory. “The most intense presidential election in modern history is entering its final day of enthusiasm,” he said, adding, “This is the first election where such a close race is taking place in all major states even as election day approaches.” He predicted, “With tens of millions of voters already participating in early voting, the outcome of the election will depend on whether each camp can rally its support base and persuade the small number of independent voters.”
