Both at a meeting, Trump and Harris pass the buck on women’s rights and immigration. The Republican continues his endeavor to discredit his opponent, believing that she is “dumb as her feet”.
The essentials
- The US presidential election will take place on November 5, 2024, but more than 65 million Americans have already started voting early in many states.
- Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris are the main candidates in the US presidential election. National and state poll results remain very close. In the seven swing states that will tilt the vote in favor of one of the candidates, the gap is tiny with an advantage passing from one to the other.
- Thursday evening, Kamala Harris recalled wanting to restore the federal right to abortion in the face of her competitor who is playing for time on the subject: “We know that this man simply does not respect the freedom of women or the intelligence of women to make decisions about their own lives,” she said during her meeting in Las Vegas. “And we know that if he were elected, he would ban abortion across the country,” she continues.
- For his part, Donald Trump promised to put an end to an “invasion” of millions of illegal immigrants and to expel them” during a speech in Albuquerque (New Mexico). “Prisons around the world are being emptied to be dumped into our country,” he said, while describing an America overwhelmed by “murderers” and “drug dealers,” because of Vice President Harris who is “dumb as her feet.”

10:46 – In Pennsylvania, the early voting disaster
As former President Donald Trump urged voters to cast ballots early in this election—a major shift from years of Republican attacks on early and mail-in voting across the country—several Pennsylvania county offices have faced a flood of people wanting to use the state’s “on-demand absentee ballot” process.
In Bucks County, just outside Philadelphia, voters waited several hours to request and submit their absentee ballots Tuesday, the last day for in-person early voting in the state, until A lawsuit filed by Trump’s team succeeds in extending the deadline. The Bucks County lawsuit follows a series of other mail-in ballot lawsuits in the state, challenging issues such as handwritten date requirements and whether provisional votes cast in person should be counted by those whose postal ballot was rejected for technical reasons.

In particular, he accused immigrants of having caused a wave of crime in the country. “Prisons around the world are being emptied to be dumped in our country,” he explained. According to him, America would be overwhelmed by “murderers” and “drug traffickers”. In question? Kamala Harris, a political leader who would be “dumb as her feet” and whose “open border” policy with Mexico would be a dismal failure.

“We know that this man simply does not respect women’s freedom or women’s intelligence to make decisions about their own lives,” she said Thursday. “And we know that if he were elected, he would ban abortion across the country,” she continues.

What you need to know
The US presidential election will take place on November 5, 2024 and will mainly be between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Kamala Harris, despite the presence of a few other small candidates in the race for the White House. The election promises to be particularly close this year, according to the various national polls or those carried out in each state. In the United States, it is the results of the state-by-state vote that are decisive for the outcome of the election.
Each of the country’s 50 states represents a certain number of electors; the more populated the state, the greater the number of electors. It is ultimately these electors who vote for the future president of the United States. But the major voters are not distributed to the Republican and Democratic camps in proportion to the results of the vote, they all go to one and the same party: the one which obtained the highest score. To hope to win the presidential election, candidates must win the vote in as many states as possible to obtain as many electors as possible. You must win 270 electoral votes to be assured of victory.
The outcome of the election is already known in most American states which have very ingrained electoral habits: the territories on the east and west coasts are usually very progressive like California or New York and vote for the Democratic camp. , those in the Midwest are rather conservative and mostly support the Republican Party. But there are a handful of states, called swing states, which from one election to another can switch from one camp to another. These are the states that decide the outcome of the election: Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
