Harris and Trump go toe-to-toe in a frenzied final campaign weekend

Harris and Trump go toe-to-toe in a frenzied final campaign weekend

FEMALE VOTERS MAIN TARGET

For Harris, a key electorate is made up of women voters — partly because of her own historic role, but mainly because of widespread anger over the ruling by Trump-appointed Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe v Wade, ending a decades-long long constitutional right to vote. abortion.

“Donald Trump is not done yet. He will ban abortion nationwide. He wants to restrict access to contraception, jeopardize IVF treatments and … force states to monitor women’s pregnancies,” Harris said in Atlanta, Georgia.

She depicted Trump as “increasingly unstable, obsessed with revenge” and “hungry for unchecked power.”

“We have an opportunity in this election to finally turn the page on a decade of Donald Trump’s full-time commitment to keeping us divided and afraid of each other,” she said.

Trump’s rhetoric has become growing darker as election day approaches.

In Gastonia, North Carolina, he conjured an apocalyptic vision in which Harris would cause “a 1929-style economic depression” and a “Third World War.”

And he doubled down on his central campaign message that illegal immigration is flooding the country with violent criminals, telling female voters he would protect them.

“If you’re at home, alone in your house, and you’ve got a monster that’s escaped from prison, he’s got six counts of murdering six different people. “I think you prefer Trump,” he said.

The candidates’ hectic schedules continue into Monday, culminating in late-night rallies — in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for Trump and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for Harris.
