As the US presidential election draws near, both candidates are ramping up their campaigning efforts. Republican candidate Donald Trump centered his rally around his themes of immigration, crime, and the economy, attracting a significant crowd at Madison Square Garden in New York. The rally hallmarked a vital moment for Trump, who has longed to hold such an event in his hometown. His supporters, including notable figures, reinforced his platform while the former First Lady made a rare appearance. Trump seeks to capitalize on polls indicating only a narrow margin separates him from Democratic nominee Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, Harris focused her campaign efforts in Pennsylvania, addressing socio-political issues tied to the Biden administration’s response to international conflicts. Harris showed support for resolving tensions in Gaza, highlighting voter discontent. Polls indicate a close race; Harris possesses a slight edge nationally but both candidates are neck and neck in critical battleground states. Despite differing narratives, both candidates sharpen their messages, with Trump portraying a grave perception of threats within the nation, while Harris criticizes him as a danger to democracy. With only a week left to convince undecided voters, the stakes have never been higher.
