Political debate on stage.

Live Updates: Kamala Harris, Trump on the Campaign Trail

In the run-up to the 2024 elections, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are hitting the campaign trail, each with their own strategies and messaging in mind. With less than 100 days left until the election, the political landscape is charged and evolving, creating anticipation for the moment the ballots will be cast.

Kamala Harris in Houston

Today, Vice President Kamala Harris will be taking to Houston, where she will address a meeting of a Black sorority and lead a fundraiser in the city. The VP’s move to Texas comes after North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper ruled himself out as a possible running mate for Harris. Kamala Harris and her soon-to-be-announced running mate are set to commence a round of campaigning in several battleground states next week.

Trump in Chicago

On the other side, former President Donald Trump will be in Chicago conducting a sit-down interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. The convention’s decision to invite Trump drew backlash, but also anticipation as Trump’s public appearances continue to draw attention and spur conversation. Following the interview, he will be heading to Pennsylvania for a rally.

Contest at the Southern Border

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in a speech on the Senate floor, criticized Kamala Harris and the Biden-Harris administration over their policies on the southern border. McConnell argued that Harris, who had been tasked with managing the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border, had shown a lack of serious engagement with the issue. In response, Harris defended her focus on long-term solutions as opposed to temporary fixes.

Trump’s Comments on Jewish Voters

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in the U.S, has strongly decried recent remarks by Trump concerning Jewish voters. Trump had claimed during a radio interview that Vice President Harris ‘doesn’t like Jewish people.’ Schumer described Trump’s comments as reprehensible and indicative of an alarming comfort with antisemitic rhetoric.

Battle Over Health Insurance

Both Trump and Harris have been going head to head over health insurance policies, each using the platform to caution voters about potential losses if their opponent wins. Trump has accused Harris of wanting to outlaw private health insurance, while Harris warned that Trump plans to end the Affordable Care Act, putting people with preexisting conditions at risk.

Advent of AI and Cyber Threats

In light of the emerging threats of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in election interference through deepfakes and misinformation, more than a dozen states have passed legislation to regulate the use of this technology. Both the Harris and Trump campaigns have launched a range of television ads as part of their strategies, further escalating the political tension and contest for favor among the voting population.

As the countdown to the elections continues, both Harris and Trump are leaving no stone unturned in their bid to secure victory. It is undoubtedly set to be a monumental contest and a thrilling run to Election Day.
