With the much-anticipated presidential debate just three days away, both candidates are in battleground states this weekend, campaigning and gearing up for that critical showdown. Vice President Kamala Harris is in Pittsburgh, continuing debate preparations with her team. She also just picked up the support of former Republican Vice President Dick Cheney, who announced that he would vote for the Democratic candidate over Donald Trump this November, this after his daughter, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, said she would do the same.
Former President Trump is in the swing state of Wisconsin today, where he will hold a rally in the next couple of hours. Trump narrowly won that state in 2016 before Joe Biden won it back in 2020. Wisconsin is a crucial state for both candidates, with recent polls showing Harris polling better than Trump in the state.
Trump is expected to focus on the economy in his speech, a top issue for voters. In a recent speech to the Economic Club, he discussed specific economic policies such as lowering the corporate tax rate to 15 percent, imposing tariffs on imports, and slashing regulations. However, some experts have warned that his tariff policies could lead to increased inflation, an issue Trump is also concerned about.
Trump's advisers see these rallies and speeches as part of his debate preparation strategy, with the upcoming debate in Pennsylvania being a crucial event in the race for the White House. The candidates are making their final pushes in key states as the election draws near.
