Uncertainty looms as the final full week of the 2024 presidential campaign kicks off with a highly competitive race between Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump. The outcomes in the upcoming days are critical as they will play a significant role in determining the results of next week’s election.
On Sunday, Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden where various speakers made offensive and derogatory comments, including comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who referred to Puerto Rico as “a floating island of garbage.” Following these controversial statements, Puerto Rican reggaeton star Bad Bunny extended his support to Harris.
Trump has scheduled a rally in Atlanta for Monday evening, while Harris will visit several locations in Michigan, including an event featuring singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers.
Harris has outlined her top three legislative priorities should she win the presidency. Speaking in an interview with CBS News, she emphasized her commitment to decreasing living costs for Americans through an expanded child tax credit, reducing grocery prices, and making housing more affordable. Her second priority focuses on restoring protections for abortion rights, while her third priority is to secure the passage of a border security bill.
As part of her campaign efforts, Harris will return to Michigan on Monday to underscore the importance of manufacturing jobs. She plans to visit Corning’s Hemlock Semiconductor Next Gen Facility, which has been boosted by a $325 million investment from the CHIPS and Science Act, a measure supported by the Biden administration. Following this, she will tour a labor training facility in Macomb County to connect with various voter demographics in this crucial battleground state, where she is currently in a neck-and-neck race against Trump. Harris is also scheduled to deliver a closing address in Washington on Tuesday.
As the 2024 presidential campaign reaches its crucial final week, all eyes are on the key developments that may shape the outcome of this intense competition.
