4 day s left on the election deadline Harris and Trump continue their campaign in Wisconsin

 

dent Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are both hosting campaign events in Wisconsin today, as they compete to give opposing closing arguments to voters in battleground states. • Increasing rhetoric: While campaigning in Arizona on Thursday night, Trump referred to Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney as a “war hawk” who should be fired upon. Harris deemed the violent rhetoric “disqualifying,” while Cheney, a staunch Trump critic, compared the former president to a dictator. • Tight race: New state polling reveals a close fight in “blue wall” states, with a slight advantage for Harris in Michigan and Wisconsin and a tie in Pennsylvania, as the race remains tied nationally before Election Day. Trump will also make a campaign stop in Michigan today.

Harris makes pitch that she would be president for working-class Americans in speech to union member

 

Vice

President Kamala Harris addressed a gathering of local union workers in Wisconsin on Friday, explaining how her policies would benefit the working class. She complimented the workers for spearheading the fight for fair pay, benefits, and safer working conditions, claiming that “every person in America benefits from your work.” Harris discussed the “disparity in power” between workers across the country and large corporations

Harris is making a pro-labor pitch a big part of her closing message to voters — and Wisconsin will be a key state in her path to the presidency. Democrats insist it’s their agenda — not the GOP’s — that actually benefits the working class.

Harris has been courting unions: The vice president has been showing up at union events from Pittsburgh to Lansing, Michigan, among other places in her sprint as the Democratic nominee. While Scranton-born Joe Biden calls himself the most pro-union president ever, Harris’s support for labor has sometimes gotten lost in the broader messaging of her campaign.

The Democratic presidential nominee has racked up endorsements from many of the biggest union groups, from the United Steelworkers to Pennsylvania’s own chapter of the Teamsters. But Harris failed to win an endorsement from the powerful national Teamsters group, as well as the International Association of Fire Fighters, when both declined to endorse in the presidential race.
