DETROIT/KINSTON, North Carolina – Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate for president, made a big push for votes at a historic Black church and spoke to Arab Americans in Michigan on Sunday. Meanwhile, her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, held rallies where he used some violent language.
Polls show that Harris, who is 60 years old, has strong support from women voters, while Trump, 78, is gaining popularity among Hispanic men. However, many voters have negative feelings toward both candidates.
So far, over 78 million Americans have already voted, which is close to half of the total votes cast in the 2020 election, known for its high turnout.
Harris spoke to churchgoers in Detroit, saying, “In just two days, we have the power to decide the fate of our nation for generations to come. We must act. It’s not enough to only pray; not enough to just talk.”
At a rally in East Lansing, she addressed Arab Americans, expressing sorrow over the conflict in Gaza and Lebanon, promising to work for peace if elected president.
Trump had his rally in Dearborn, Michigan, where he promised to resolve the Middle East conflict but didn’t explain how he would do it.
Instead of directly mentioning Trump, Harris pointed out his actions during her speech.
At his rallies, Trump often strayed from his prepared speech, calling Democrats a “demonic party” and mocking President Biden. He also talked about how his life had been threatened during an assassination attempt earlier this year, making comments about the media and his safety.
Trump continued his rally schedule in Kinston, North Carolina, and Macon, Georgia, where he criticized the current economy and warned of a possible repeat of the Great Depression.
While Harris aimed her message at undecided voters, Trump stayed focused on rallying his loyal supporters, claiming, “Kamala’s campaign is run on hate and demonization.”
As Election Day approaches, Democrats are preparing in case Trump tries to claim victory too early, like he did in 2020.
