Democratic Vice-President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump continued, Sunday, November 3, to travel through key states, which will decide whether America will open the doors of the White House for the first time to a woman, or on the contrary send the billionaire back there. The American presidential election this Tuesday, November 5, is in fact the most uncertain in the history of the United States, with no poll being able, on the eve of the vote, to predict who will emerge victorious. The meetings of recent hours have been an opportunity for Donald Trump to go one step further, by further contesting the result of the 2020 election, or by declaring that he would not be bothered if someone shot journalists .
Information to remember
⇒ Donald Trump wouldn’t be “bothered” if someone shot the press
⇒ Kamala Harris voted early
⇒ The Democratic candidate tries to seduce voters of Arab origin
Donald Trump says he “shouldn’t have left” the White House
The Republican continued the verbal escalation on Sunday, during his last public appearances. Referring to the armored glass now installed around him, after being the victim of two assassination attempts, he said that to reach it “you would have to shoot through” journalists, adding: “That doesn’t bother me.”
Comments which “had nothing to do with harming the media”, quickly assured one of his spokespersons, affirming that Donald Trump was on the contrary worried about the “danger” faced by journalists which “should also have protective glazing”.
“I should not have left” the White House, said the 78-year-old Republican candidate, who never admitted his defeat in 2020 and whose supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 to try to prevent the certification of Joe Biden’s victory. The former Republican president has already laid the foundations for a challenge in the event of defeat. “They are trying with all their might to steal” the election, he said.
Kamala Harris tries to rally support from voters of Arab origin
While traveling at the University of Michigan, the Democrat assured that “the state was [son] side”. In this state, where she risks losing the support of the population of Arab origin, which represents some 200,000 people, due to Washington’s support for Israel, the Democrat promised to “do everything to stop the war in Gaza.” “I want to say that this year is difficult, given the scale of the deaths and destruction in Gaza, given the civilian and displaced victims in Lebanon. It’s upsetting,” added the candidate.
78 million Americans have already voted
More than 78 million Americans have already voted, either early or by mail. This is the case of Kamala Harris, who announced it on Sunday: “I just filled out my mail-in ballot,” she said during a brief exchange with journalists in Detroit, Michigan (Great Lakes region), then specifying: “My report card is on its way to California”, his state of origin.
On Tuesday, when the polling stations in the world’s leading power close, a period of feverish waiting will begin. No one knows whether it will take hours or days for the American media, whose prerogative it is traditionally, to attribute victory to one or the other. The latest poll New York Times/Siena, focused on the seven crucial states, reports differences too small to allow the slightest conclusion.
