Harris hits Michigan, Trump visits Georgia in final push for White House

Vice President Kamala Harris travels to Michigan on Monday to focus on the economy, while former President Donald Trump heads to Georgia to shore up support among religious voters, as the two enter the final stretch of the 2024 campaign for the White House.

Fresh from a day of stops in the swing state of Pennsylvania, where she visited with Black men in a barbershop and talked about faith in a Black church, Harris will travel across Michigan to highlight her support for manufacturing jobs and union workers, according to a campaign official.

She also plans a rally with her running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, that will feature a performance by singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers, reports Reuters.

Trump, who held a rally in New York City on Sunday that began with a series of vulgar and racist remarks by his supporters, has two events in the Atlanta area on Monday, one at the National Faith Advisory Summit and the other a rally, as he tries to win over voters in Georgia, another critical swing state.

Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck in the polls of the battleground states that will determine the winner of the U.S. presidential election. Both candidates are working hard to win over the remaining sliver of undecided and independent voters in those states while turning out their respective base supporters to vote early or show up at ballot stations on November 5.

While Trump has pushed an anti-immigration message and hurled insults at the vice president, Harris has portrayed Trump as a threat to democracy after his refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and the resulting raid on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters on January 6, 2021.

On Monday she will contrast their economic visions.
