The two presidential nominees, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, are focusing on sharpening their economic messages for the middle class in the week leading up to their first debate. Harris proposed an expansion of tax incentives for small businesses during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, while Trump is set to address the Economic Club of New York. Trump is emphasizing tax cuts and economic growth, while Harris is targeting small businesses to soften her previous calls for higher taxes on the wealthy. The candidates will face off in their first debate next week, with Pennsylvania beginning in-person absentee voting shortly after.
As the election approaches, with only 62 days left until the final votes are cast, the candidates are ramping up their campaigns and focusing on key battleground states. Early voting will begin in several states by the end of the month, with more to follow in mid-October. The AP is providing extensive coverage of the election, with updates on the candidates’ strategies and the latest developments in the race for the presidency.
Vice President Kamala Harris has accepted the rules for the upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump, despite concerns about microphone muting. Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney announced her support for Harris, citing the danger she believes Trump poses to the country. Meanwhile, a photo circulating on social media showing people wearing ‘Nebraska Walz’s for Trump’ shirts has been revealed to be distant cousins of Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz.
Vice President Kamala Harris addressed a school shooting in Georgia during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, calling it a ‘senseless tragedy.’ She emphasized the need to address gun violence in schools and protect children. Jimmy McCain, son of former Arizona senator John McCain, announced that he has registered as a Democrat and will be voting for Harris, showing bipartisan support for the Democratic nominee.
In Wisconsin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has filed a lawsuit to try to remove his name from the presidential ballot after suspending his campaign and endorsing Donald Trump.

The Democratic National Committee is running a digital billboard in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, highlighting the threat to reproductive rights posed by Trump and his policies. Ohio Sen. JD Vance’s Catholicism has shaped his political views, aligning him with a little-known group of Catholic thinkers known as ‘postliberals.’ A federal judge rejected Donald Trump’s request to intervene in his New York hush money criminal case, affirming his felony conviction and sentencing. Overall, the race for the presidency is heating up as the candidates intensify their campaigns and focus on key issues impacting the American people.
