Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are gearing up for a heated two-month sprint to Election Day as they continue their campaigns for the presidency. The candidates are focusing their efforts on just seven key states, targeting voters who are just beginning to pay attention to the election. Despite the many issues at play, both campaigns are honing in on familiar topics such as the economy, immigration, and abortion. The upcoming debates and early voting in swing states like Pennsylvania will play a crucial role in shaping the outcome of the election.
With just 63 days remaining until Election Day, Harris and Trump are locked in a close race according to national polls conducted after President Joe Biden withdrew from the race. Harris’ campaign is demonstrating confidence by allocating nearly $25 million to help down-ballot Democrats, marking the largest-ever transfer by a national campaign and the Democratic National Committee to support congressional and state-level Democrats. This significant investment reflects Harris’ strong financial position and the improving political map for Democrats.
Harris’ campaign is also releasing new ads that aim to highlight the contrast between her economic agenda and Trump’s policies. The ads focus on Harris’ proposals such as federal price gouging legislation and addressing corporate speculators in the housing market, while contrasting them with Trump’s push for tax cuts for corporations. These ads are part of a comprehensive television and digital ad campaign that will run through Election Day, showcasing Harris’ focus on economic issues.
As the campaign heats up, both Harris and Trump are gearing up for their first debate, which will be a pivotal moment in the race. Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state, will begin in-person absentee voting shortly after the debate, setting the stage for early voting to commence in multiple states by mid-October. The outcome of these debates and early voting periods will have a significant impact on the final results of the election as Harris and Trump vie for the presidency of the United States.
The Vice President believes that this race is about mobilizing the entire country, in races at every level, to fight for our freedoms and our economic opportunity,” said Harris campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon. “That’s why the Vice President has made the decision to invest a historic sum into electing Democrats up and down the ballot: because Democrats win when we fight together.”
Overall, the next two months will be filled with intense campaigning, debates, and early voting as Harris and Trump make their final push for the presidency. With a focus on key issues and strategic targeting of voters in crucial states, the outcome of the election remains uncertain. However, both candidates are determined to rally their supporters and secure victory in what is shaping up to be a closely contested race for the highest office in the nation.
