WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Just days after another assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump, both campaigns spoke with voters in key battleground states Tuesday.
“I intend to be a president for all people,” said Vice President Kamala Harris during a forum for Black journalists in Pennsylvania.
Vice President Harris touted her plan for an opportunity economy.
“Where all people have access to the resources to compete,” she said.
Vice President Harris said she wants to expand the child tax credit for young parents and make home healthcare more affordable for older Americans.
“Not everyone has the ability to take time from work to do it, and they need help,” she said.
Her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz, (D-Minn.), called voters in Georgia, telling them this is how they win the election.
“This is not gonna be won in a Twitter fight,” Walz said. “It’s going to be by neighbors calling up neighbors on the phone.”
The White House said Vice President Harris called Trump Tuesday following the second assassination attempt against him.
“Thank you very much. I’m still here!,” Trump said in a video on X while meeting the law enforcement officers who captured the accused gunman.
Before Trump traveled to Michigan for a town hall Tuesday night, his running mate, U.S. Sen. JD Vance, addressed the attempted assassination during a campaign event in the battleground state.
“He’s tough enough to take the slings and arrows but still be fighting every single day for the American people,” Vance said.
Vance highlighted their mass deportation plan for illegal immigrants, saying it would also lower housing costs.
“American housing ought to go to American citizens, not people who shouldn’t even be in this country to begin with,” he said.
Something both campaigns could agree on during National Voter Registration Day: Americans should make their voices heard in November.
