As early in-person voting begins in Michigan, both presidential candidates are intensifying their campaigns in the state. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are making significant appearances, each aiming to rally support ahead of the crucial election.
Harris, speaking to reporters in Grand Rapids, criticized Trump for his absence from a CNN town hall and suggested that he may be exhausted from the campaign trail. \"Being president of the United States is probably one of the hardest jobs in the world,\" she stated, questioning Trump's fitness for the role. This comment followed reports that Trump's campaign indicated he was too tired to participate in interviews.
In response, Trump dismissed Harris's claims, asserting, \"What event did I cancel? I haven't canceled.\" He emphasized his busy schedule, which included multiple appearances and phone calls throughout the day. Trump also took the opportunity to attack Harris, labeling her a \"loser\" and asserting that he has gone 48 days without arrest, a jab at his ongoing legal challenges.
Both candidates are focusing on energizing voters in swing states like Michigan, where Harris urged supporters to mobilize and make their voices heard. \"Your vote is your voice, and your voice is your power,\" she declared, emphasizing the importance of participation in the electoral process.
Trump, meanwhile, campaigned in Michigan after attending the annual Al Smith Catholic Charity dinner in New York, where he engaged in self-deprecating humor while also taking jabs at Harris for her virtual appearance. He noted that some of the jokes he delivered were written by staff at Fox News, a claim the network denied.
In the advertising arena, Trump's campaign is currently outspending Harris's team by approximately $9 million in battleground states, a critical factor as early voting has already commenced in some areas, including North Carolina. Harris's campaign has launched a new ad targeting Latino voters, featuring singer Marc Anthony, as both candidates seek to solidify their support in the final weeks leading up to the election.
