Kamala Harris and Donald Trump clashed on Saturday across swing states, marking the final weekend of an intense U.S. election. With the race in a dead heat, Harris called on voters to “turn the page” from what she described as Trump’s divisive and aggressive brand of politics.
With only three days until Election Day, over 73 million Americans have already cast their ballots, while millions more are expected at polling stations on Tuesday. The world now watches anxiously to see if Harris will make history as the first female U.S. president or if Trump will achieve a remarkable comeback after his failed 2020 re-election bid against Joe Biden.
In a rare intersection, Harris’s vice-presidential jet, Air Force Two, and Trump’s private aircraft shared the tarmac in Charlotte, North Carolina, as both candidates held rallies in the battleground state. Harris continued to court voters in Georgia, another key state, while Trump made a quick visit to Virginia. The candidates will continue their intense schedules on Sunday, with Harris focusing on Michigan and Trump holding rallies in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Both Harris, 60, and Trump, 78, are vying for a final wave of support, attempting to sway undecided voters and mobilize their bases for the critical votes.
Women Voters Take Center Stage
Harris has focused heavily on women voters, capitalizing on her historic candidacy and anger among female voters following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, a move seen as a significant rollback of reproductive rights. Addressing a crowd in Atlanta, Harris warned that Trump “will ban abortion nationwide” and could restrict access to birth control. She described Trump as “unstable” and “obsessed with revenge,” urging voters to “turn the page” on his divisive legacy.
Meanwhile, Trump intensified his rhetoric, painting a dark future should Harris win. Speaking to voters in Gastonia, North Carolina, he predicted that her policies would lead to a “1929-style economic depression” and “World War III.” He also stoked fears around illegal immigration, saying his presidency would protect women from “violent criminals.”
Both candidates plan to end their campaigns with late-night rallies on Monday, with Trump in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Harris in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Security Concerns Ahead of Election Day
Concerns over possible unrest have led Washington, D.C., businesses to board up as authorities brace for potential volatility. Trump has repeatedly alleged potential fraud in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, laying the groundwork for challenges if results do not favor him.
As Election Day nears, the country braces for a potentially dramatic conclusion, with both candidates fighting for every vote.
