The presidential campaigns brace for an intense sprint to Election Day
SUMMARY: As the presidential race intensifies, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump focus their campaigns on seven key swing states, prioritizing issues like the economy, immigration, and abortion. Both candidates are preparing for their first debate, with Harris viewed as an underdog despite a slight improvement in Democratic prospects since Biden’s withdrawal. Polls indicate a neck-and-neck race, especially in battlegrounds like Pennsylvania, vital for electoral success. Harris’s campaign is outspending Trump’s on advertisements and has superior grassroots organizing, while Trump maintains competitive positions in the Midwest. The outcome might hinge on which candidate can position themselves as the “change candidate” amid a backdrop of voter dissatisfaction.
