Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are ramping up their campaign efforts as the election season heats up. Trump is set to visit key battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Nevada, by the end of the week, while Harris is engaging in a media blitz across various platforms, including radio and television.
Harris's recent appearances include a friendly interview on \"The View,\" where she discussed her new proposal to allow Medicare to cover in-home health care for those in need. This initiative aims to provide financial support for families struggling to care for aging relatives, addressing a significant unmet need in the community. Tricia Newman from the KFF Independent Health Organization highlighted the widespread challenges families face in securing adequate care for their loved ones.
In contrast, Trump's approach to Medicare has remained vague, with past statements focusing on preserving the program without offering specific details on how he would assist families with related costs. During her media tour, Harris was also questioned about her differences from President Biden, to which she responded that she has been involved in most impactful decisions made during his administration.
Despite facing criticism for her media presence, Harris has made efforts to reach diverse audiences, including a recent conversation with Howard Stern, who has a predominantly male following. Trump, meanwhile, has been active in interviews, including a town hall with Fox News, where he criticized Harris and Biden's response to recent hurricanes.
Both candidates are actively campaigning, with Harris scheduled for a town hall with Univision and Trump heading to California this weekend. As the election approaches, their strategies and proposals will likely continue to shape the political landscape.
