Trump and Harris: A Two Day Campaign for Latino Rights and Freedoms in the United States and the Status of Latino Business and Education in the Era
The two candidates made their appeals to Latino voters on Tuesday, with Trump participating in a panel discussion at his golf resort in Miami and Harris going to do an interview with Telemundo.
Trump spent the day falsely claiming Harris was taking a day off from campaigning before holding a nighttime rally in Greensboro, North Carolina, his fourth event in two days in a state that has become a must-win for his White House hopes.
Harris was in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, and did an interview with NBC News on the same day as Obama was in Wisconsin and Michigan with his son.
More than 1 in 4 active Georgia voters have already cast their ballot for the presidential election in 24 months, according to the University of Florida.
Harris continued to outline how she would govern if elected, as the campaign seeks to push back on criticism of the number and type of interviews she has done.
This is something that is very serious. She said that people were being presented with a very serious decision about what would be the future of the country.
Asked if she would pardon Trump if she won the White House and he was convicted in the federal election interference case against him, Harris refused to engage.
Harris did not say whether she would grant religious exemptions to get the Republican support to pass a law codifying abortion access.
Harris intended to talk about policies aimed at Latino men in the interview. The measures include doubling the number of registered apprenticeships and removing college degree requirements for up to half a million federal jobs.
The Harris campaign said the vice president would provide 1 million forgivable loans worth up to $20,000 each for Latino and other entrepreneurs and would set a goal to more than double the number of first-time Latino homebuyers.
At a roundtable in Florida Trump argued that the economy was better for Hispanics during his time in office, but he frequently deviated from the topic. He lobbed personal attacks against Harris, calling her “lazy,” “slow” and “low IQ.”
“Donald Trump wants us to think that this country is hopelessly divided between us and them,” he said. The real Americans who support him are the ones who do not, that is the enemy.
While Latino voters have historically supported Democrats in greater numbers, Republicans hope Trump’s central focus on immigration issues and border security will help peel away support from a crucial bloc of voters.
Trump blamed Harris for violent crimes committed by some migrants in the U.S., and promised to oversee mass deportations at a rally in North Carolina.
He talked for almost two hours and included things from his prepared remarks which included boast about his crowd size and a thought on his time on the campaign trail being up as a result of this election and possibly for good.
“It’s sad, because we’re sort of wrapping it up, you know that, right?,” he said. “We’ve been doing this for a long time. We had two unbelievable elections … when you think, we’ve been doing it for, from 2015 and now we’re where we are.”

Can the Candidates Win the Election? A Tale of Two Lives in the Night: Donald Trump’s Left-Right Campaign in Gwinnett County, Ga.
Trump has seen an increase in verbal gaffes and distraction in his speeches recently. Tuesday night, he appeared to forget the word “fryer” when talking about his McDonald’s stop and mistakenly called a segment of loyal superfans known as the “Front Row Joes” the “Front Row Jacks” and “Front Row Jacks and Joes.”
The place and time of each event added to the calendar give an indication of what the campaigns will be saying in the closing days before the vote.
Trump will be in Gwinnett County, Ga., to speak at a rally. Wednesday while Harris tapes a town hall with CNN in Chester Township, Pa. Thursday, Harris also heads to Gwinnett County to rally voters with Obama and Bruce Springsteen.
The vice president will travel to Texas on Friday to discuss abortion restrictions and how they have hurt women, and blame the restrictions on Trump. Colin Allred is competing against Ted Cruz for his Senate seat in Texas.
Trump also announced multiple rallies in Pennsylvania and Michigan later this week, joining events planned in Nevada and Arizona before holding an event at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Only two days left in the presidential election and former President Donald Trump and Vice President Harris need to go somewhere to speak to voters, while other campaigns need to go somewhere.
There is a sense of dread and worry in American life right now. More than any other election in my life, I have heard a lot of questions regarding whether or not the current nominee can win the election. Is we going to be okay? This sentiment is heard over and over from sweaty Democratic operatives who all too often love to run to the press with their woes.
There isn’t enough voters to turn out at Mr. Trump’s rallies anymore when he’s just preaching to his base. He has not learned from his electoral losses nor done the necessary work to assemble a broad electoral coalition in 2024. Some Haley voters are looking to move to Harris because she received 158,000 votes in Pennsylvania after she dropped out of the Republican primary. Although Ms. Haley has endorsed Mr. Trump, losing even a fraction of those voters leaves Mr. Trump running the final leg of this race with a fundamental fracture of the femur. To add a cherry to the pie, most voters think Mr. Trump is too old to be president, but instead of easing their concerns, he’s spending the final days of the campaign jiving to the Village People and canceling interviews.
Mr. Trump will lose because the Republican Party is not doing well since he took it over. The Democrats won a large election in the House. See 2020: Joe Biden decided that he wasn’t going to stay in the White House. See 2022: an embarrassment of a midterm for Republicans off the heels of Dobbs. Since the Supreme Court of the United States took away the rights of American women, the Democrats are doing well in special elections. What do you think? Abortion is on the ballot again — for president.
While I am not one to take part in the political prediction industry — recently ballooned by mysterious crypto investments gambling on a Donald Trump victory — today I am pulling my stool up to the political poker table to throw my chips all in: America, it will all be OK. Ms. Harris will be elected the next president of the United States. I’m certain of this. Here are three reasons:
