As the presidential election approaches, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are intensifying their campaigns in key swing states. With just 12 days until election day, new polling indicates a tight race, with Trump leading Harris by two points nationally, and both candidates focusing on critical issues to sway voters.

Trump held a rally in Arizona, emphasizing immigration as a central theme of his campaign. He criticized Harris for what he described as a failure to secure the border, claiming she has \"erased\" it and allowed violence to proliferate. In response, Harris has been vocal about her stance on immigration, stating her commitment to addressing the issue through comprehensive solutions rather than solely building border walls. During a recent CNN town hall, she acknowledged the need for funding to continue border security measures, including a previously earmarked $650 million for wall construction, while also criticizing Trump's approach.

Harris has also been making headlines for her strong rhetoric against Trump, labeling him an \"existential threat to democracy.\" She reiterated her belief that Trump fits the definition of fascism, a statement that has drawn significant attention. Meanwhile, Trump countered by accusing Harris of being a threat to democracy herself, claiming she has no legitimate support.

The political landscape is further complicated by a Wall Street Journal poll showing Trump leading in North Carolina and Arizona, with Georgia in a statistical tie. As both campaigns ramp up their efforts, they are also facing scrutiny over their messaging and strategies. Harris's campaign has been criticized for a recent op-ed by Trump ally JD Vance, which accused her of prejudice against Catholics, a claim that has not been addressed by her team.

In other news, the Los Angeles District Attorney is recommending a resentencing for the Menendez brothers, who were convicted of murdering their parents over three decades ago. This development follows renewed public interest in their case, fueled by recent media portrayals.

Additionally, the owner of the cargo ship responsible for a deadly bridge collapse in Baltimore has agreed to a settlement of over $100 million with the Department of Justice, while a judge in Ohio has struck down a law banning nearly all abortions, citing a constitutional amendment that protects reproductive rights.

As the election draws near, the stakes are high, and both candidates are working tirelessly to secure their positions in a rapidly shifting political landscape.
