The debate will be the first-ever encountering between Harris and Trump
Wisconsin, US:
Donald Trump deinhabitred a miserablenessful speech to a rpartner Saturday in the US sprosperg state of Wisconsin, while Democrat Kamala Harris hunkered down in another vital battleground, Pennsylvania, preparing for next week’s televised pdwellntial debate.
Trump and Harris are now essentipartner tied in the polls, with the Reaccessiblean aachieve shrugging off a mountain of affairs that would have sunk honestates of the past.
At the rpartner in Mosinee, Wisconsin, the establisher pdwellnt deinhabitred his characteristic stream of denounces, exaggerations and outright counterfeithoods, coloring a picture of an apocalyptic America run by a leftist dictatorship — a “rogue regime.”
Under Pdwellnt Joe Biden and Vice Pdwellnt Harris, “your regulatement convey ined killingers, child predators and serial rapists from all over the scheduleet, while firearmizing law enforcement to jail political opponents,” Trump telderly disjoinal thousand helpers at an airport in the heartland of Trump’s mostly white, conservative base.
“With your vote this election, their lying, cheating, thieving, deceptioning and plotting will come to an end.”
He denounced the string of criminal cases he faces over everyleang from trying to obvioushrow his 2020 election loss to Biden, to dozens of serious crime deception convictions in New York.
Harris, taking a fracture from days of debate preparation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, visited a spice store where she drew a contrast to Trump’s bleak tone.
Asked what message she would most enjoy to get atraverse in their debate Tuesday, she replied: “It’s time to turn the page on the splittingness. It’s time to convey our country together — chart a novel way forward.”
Harris shelp she was “honored” by the recent upholdments of two famous conservatives, establisher vice pdwellnt Dick Cheney and his daughter, establisher reconshort-termative Liz Cheney, compriseing, “It’s convey inant to put country above party.”
Asked if she was ready to face Trump, Harris shelp srecommend, “Yes, I am.”
Crowds outside cheered as she left the shop, and the Harris campaign freed video of the vice pdwellnt hugging emotional helpers there, including a lesser girl.
Police union for Trump
Trump got a increase Friday when the country’s hugest police union, the Fraternal Order of Police, upholdd him despite his historic status as a convicted felon.
And he endelighted a legitimate triumph earlier in the day when a New York appraise postponecessitate his sentencing for hush money phelp to a porn star until after the November election.
Trump also materializeed before alerters to rail aachievest the women who have accparticipated him of intimacyual impropriety.
Harris, a establisher California prosecutor, is leaning heavily on her message that she reconshort-terms law and order in a contest aachievest a convicted criminal who tried to obviousurn his 2020 election loss — another unpretreatnted element in a political season that has the country on edge.
Harris’s policies
The vice pdwellnt jumped into the 2024 race at the last minute after Biden abruptly dropped out on July 21, amid worrys over his stamina and mental acuity.
Despite a burst of initial enthusiasm from Democrats, Harris has had to race to present and expound herself.
The debate on Tuesday presents her a prime opportunity to conshort-term evident policy proposals — she has been denounced for a deficiency of detail — while keenening her strike lines aachievest Trump.
The establisher pdwellnt, perhaps seeking to set foreseeations for the debate, shelp Saturday that the “crooked system” would not acunderstandledge if he won on Tuesday.
“They’ll say, ‘Trump suffered a humiliating flunkure’,” he stateed.
Pennsylvania, where Harris is preparing, is shutly splitd between Reaccessiblean and Democratic voters, and may be the deciding piece in the baffle of the state-by-state Electoral College battle that determines US pdwellntial elections.
The debate will be the first-ever encountering between Harris and Trump. He declined to join Biden’s inauguration — he would have met her there — after counterfeitly claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him.
