Rabibochage with a Republican
Donald Trump previously visited Georgia, a state hard hit by Hurricane Helene which left more than 200 dead in the United States. He will be accompanied on Friday by Brian Kemp, governor of this southeastern state, which is highly coveted for the presidential election. However, relations between the two Republicans have not always been good. The ex-president had notably accused the governor of lack of loyalty for not having publicly supported his attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential election in this state, narrowly won by Joe Biden.
His repeated invectives on social networks against Brian Kemp have caused concern in the Republican camp, because the governor enjoys a significant popularity rating. The billionaire’s animosity posed the risk of losing crucial votes in this disputed state.
But the two leaders have since mended their ways. Brian Kemp publicly supported Donald Trump, and the latter decided to no longer call him a “dirty guy” or a “very average governor”. They will appear side by side in Augusta, a city that bears the scars of Hurricane Helene. Donald Trump, who had already visited Georgia on Monday to see the damage from the storm in the city of Valdosta, will then travel to North Carolina, another key state in the southeast.
Harris supported by Obama
Kamala Harris is expected in Michigan, a key state in the Great Lakes region and symbol of industrial decline in the United States from the 1980s. The Democratic candidate will begin her trip to the large city of Detroit, cradle of the American automobile industry, where she will want to strengthen her image as a pro-union candidate.
While the working electorate was traditionally favorable to the Democrats, Donald Trump has succeeded since his entry onto the political scene in 2015 in attracting the favors of many of its members.
To try to slow down this exodus, Kamala Harris will be able to benefit from strong support in the coming weeks in the person of Barack Obama. Still very popular, the first black president in the history of the United States will go on the ground in several key states until the vote on November 5, the campaign team of the Democratic vice-president announced on Friday.
In Michigan, Kamala Harris will also make a stop in Flint. According to CNN, she will meet local leaders from the Arab and Muslim communities, many of whose members are angry at Joe Biden’s United States’ unwavering support for Israel.
