As the US presidential election approaches in less than two weeks, the campaign rhetoric has become increasingly combative. Vice President Kamala Harris has labeled former President Donald Trump a fascist at a recent campaign event, echoing sentiments expressed by Trump's former Chief of Staff John Kelly. Kelly describes Trump as fitting the definition of fascism, emphasizing a far-right authoritarian stance with dictatorial ambitions. Trump's response was swift, branding Harris as a 'woke mind' and perceiving her as a threat to democracy. This sharp escalation in tone reflects Harris's ongoing strategy to portray Trump as fundamentally unfit for presidency due to his temperament and the potential consequences for the nation. Targeting undecided voters in battleground states, both campaigns have differing estimates on voter indecision; Harris's camp suggests a 10% undecided rate, while Trump's camp claims 5%. The evolving campaign message focuses on capturing voter sentiments and shifting political landscapes, targeting individuals in states like Pennsylvania and Georgia, crucial for electoral college success. Meanwhile, Trump works to solidify his base while simultaneously attempting to appeal to men across demographics, adjusting his positions on issues such as abortion and reproductive rights. Polling trends remain tight, showing Harris with a narrow lead in national averages, but battleground state results will ultimately determine the election outcome.
