In the lead-up to the 2024 Presidential Elections, the focus is on the campaigns of former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Post their September 10 debate, polls have shown Harris gaining momentum, with a USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll indicating her lead in Pennsylvania. However, Trump’s camp found encouragement in a New York Times/Sienna poll showing him ahead in Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. Despite this, Harris remains the betting favorite, a trend that has historically been a reliable indicator.
Both candidates are actively engaging with swing states, with Trump’s campaign schedule this week including stops in Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Wisconsin. On September 24, Trump is set to deliver remarks in Savannah, Georgia, focusing on tax cuts for American businesses and promoting American-made goods. The following day, he will rally in Mint Hill, North Carolina, amidst controversy surrounding Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, a candidate he endorsed. On September 27, Trump will have appearances in Walker and Warren, Michigan, where he previously pushed election fraud conspiracies. The week will conclude with a rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, where local issues, such as alleged Venezuelan gang violence, are likely to feature. The campaign activities of both candidates reflect the intensifying race as the election draws near.
