Last-minute swing state showdown: Trump and Harris chase crucial votes

In a last-minute push before next weeks election Donald Trump and Kamala Harris are hitting crucial swing-states with different messages to win over undecided voters

The race is super-tight with about 46 million early-votes already cast (way less than during covid times) Georgia and Michigan have become key battle-grounds where both candidates are making their final stops.

At a faith-based event in Georgia Trump spoke to religious supporters: “I think this is a country that needs religion“ His campaign however had to deal with fall-out from a comedians anti-Puerto Rico joke at his NY rally

Meanwhile Harris went for a jobs-first approach in Michigan visiting the high-tech Corning Incʼs factory — which got a $325 million chips-act investment. She talked about private-sector partnerships and met with blue-collar workers

The candidates show very different views on major issues: from Ukraine support to trade-rules and basic democratic values. In Georgia where early-voting might reach 70 percent of total votes both sides are working non-stop to get supporters to polls

At an outdoor rally in Ann Arbor where temps dropped to 50°F (pretty cold for campaign season) singer Maggie Rogers joined Harris and Minnesota Gov Tim Walz to boost voter turn-out. The event showed how both campaigns are using celebs to attract voters
