WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Vice President Kamala Harris and former president Donald Trump are holding dueling rallies Friday afternoon. Both candidates are trying to get an edge with swing voters with just 25 days left until Election Day.
Fresh off a media blitz, Vice President Harris was in Arizona making her pitch to voters.
Meanwhile former president Donald Trump is doing back to back rallies, the first in Colorado where’s he’s expected to drill down on his message about immigration.
Trump is making the case for mass deportations. Trump made the unusual stop in the blue state of Colorado to spotlight the city of Aurora, where he says Venezuelan migrants are taking over buildings.
The city’s Republican mayor calls Trump’s depiction, born out of a viral video, grossly exaggerated. Tenants of the building report feeling safe after police intervened.
With polling showing the two candidates’ neck and neck, the Harris team is launching a full court press in battleground states.
Governor Tim Walz is in Michigan.
“Kamala Harris and I have a plan to build American industrial strength powered by American workers,” said Walz.
Former president Barack Obama made his debut on the trail Thursday where he urged voters to turn the page on Trump.
“I am here to tell you, that is not what real strength is,” said Obama.
Obama directed that message specifically to men. Polling shows there is a significant gender gap between the two candidates. Trump has a leg up with young men while Harris is up by double digits with women.
