Harris in Pennsylvania
A few hundred kilometers away, her Democratic rival Kamala Harris arrived in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most crucial state in the presidential election. The former Republican president had visited this northeastern state hit by deindustrialization on Wednesday, which he won by a hair in 2016, then lost by a tiny margin in 2020. The presidential election is once again expected to be very close, and the United States is worried about attempts at Russian interference against which it announced a battery of measures on Wednesday.
Without responding directly to these accusations, Russian President Vladimir Putin assured Thursday, not without sarcasm: “sustain” Kamala Harris. “She has such an expressive and contagious laugh that it shows she is doing well.”he added with a smile. Kamala Harris’ laugh is very often ridiculed by American conservatives, Donald Trump in the lead. The White House responded by ordering Vladimir Putin to“stop interfering” of this presidential election.
The vice president and Democratic candidate is in Pittsburgh, the historic steel capital of America, on Thursday. Pennsylvania is expected to be her base camp to prepare for the September 10 showdown with Donald Trump, which will take place in Philadelphia and will be broadcast by ABC.

Microphones cut off
The latter unveiled the rules of this 90-minute duel, which gave rise to tough negotiations between the two camps. They will be the same as during the now famous debate in June between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, completely botched by the Democratic president, to the point of leading to his withdrawal from the race for the White House, on July 21. Tuesday, the duettists will be standing behind their desks, without notes and without an audience, and their speaking time will be strictly controlled.
Each candidate’s microphone will only be turned on when it is their turn to speak – the Kamala Harris campaign had pushed for the microphones to remain on throughout, no doubt calculating that this would be detrimental to Donald Trump, who is notoriously prone to outbursts. The first exchange is scheduled for 9 p.m. local time.
On Wednesday, during a Fox News panel, Donald Trump accused ABC of being biased and claimed without evidence that Kamala Harris would receive questions in advance. “They’re really bad, and I think a lot of people will be watching to see how bad they are, how unfair they are.”lamented the 78-year-old Republican. The vice president, better positioned in national voting intentions than Joe Biden was, but still neck and neck with Donald Trump in the most contested states, continues to repeat that nothing is decided.
“This race will be tight until the last minute. Let’s not pay too much attention to the polls, because we are not the favorites.”she warned again on Wednesday. US President Joe Biden, who has so far played a carefully defined supporting role in Kamala Harris’ campaign, is in Wisconsin on Thursday to promise huge investments in rural electricity grids.
