Kamala Harris heads to must-win Pennsylvania Wednesday to take voters’ questions live while Donald Trump campaigns in Georgia another of the seven toss-up states expected to decide the result of an extremely close White House race.
With just 13 days to go before the election, Vice President Harris and former President Trump are each on a mission to persuade the sliver of American voters who remain undecided in the home stretch.
Harris, who turned 60 over the weekend, will be near Philadelphia for a CNN town hall-type meeting with voters, but there is not one planned for Trump despite the network’s offer to hold a separate one for him.
Pennsylvania is a coveted prize for the candidates, and Harris and Trump have made repeated appearances there and across other swing states.
The Harris camp has also confirmed that Michelle Obama will join her at an event Saturday in battleground Michigan, the former US first lady’s first campaign stop with Harris.
Trump will hold his town hall event Wednesday as well as a rally in the southern battleground state of Georgia, which the 78-year-old Republican won in 2016 and then narrowly lost to Joe Biden four years later.
About 23.5 million Americans have already voted by mail or in person, reportedly a far higher number than the same period four years ago.
In Georgia, a staggering 1.9 million early votes have already been cast, shattering the previous record.
Nevertheless, Trump told Fox News on Wednesday that he still felt “very mixed” about early voting, even though he confirmed he would be voting early in Florida.
“People have different feelings about it,” he said. “But the main thing is you’ve got to get out, you’ve got to vote.”
