Kamala Harris and Donald Trump enter the home stretch in the race for the White House. An extraordinary campaign, with unpredictable results and for which the candidates for the American presidency are multiplying their meetings during this last weekend, with up to three public meetings per day. For the occasion, BFMTV reporters talk about how they experience the campaign on the ground and share their views on this duel. With Clémence Dibout, from Wisconsin, Igor Sahiri in North Carolina and Nicolas Coadou in Georgia. An episode presented by Benoît Ballet, BFMTV correspondent in the United States and Thierry Arnaud, columnist on international issues.
No one knows who will win the US presidential election. Polls give the two candidates almost a tie. In recent weeks Kamala Harris and Donald Trump have been going from state to state. Almost only in the swing states, the pivotal states. These divided, undecided states which will decide the next president of the United States. For example, Pennsylvania or Michigan, where we will meet Benoît Ballet and Thierry Arnaud to understand everything about this presidential election.

What if this election comes down to one short sentence? Or to an image? Donald Trump put on an orange vest, he disguised himself as a garbage collector, and posed in a garbage truck. And then he said this sentence at a meeting: “I will protect women, whether they like it or not.” Every voice counts, every image and every word too. D-5 before the American presidential election, welcome to the Washington briefing.

Kamala Harris should have been the star of the day but her meeting at Ellipse Park was overshadowed by Joe Biden. Yesterday, the Democratic candidate gave her final plea just a stone's throw from the White House. Meanwhile, the President of the United States, in a video conference, compares Trump supporters to trash. As you can imagine, the Republicans take it badly. And the White House defends itself by saying that it is not the supporters that it was targeting but “the hateful rhetoric heard at the Madison Square Garden meeting” D-6 before the American presidential election. Welcome to the Washington briefing.

On July 13, Donald Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt. Another one follows a few days later. More recently, ballot boxes with hundreds of ballots were set on fire. A Kamala Harris campaign office was targeted several times by gunfire. This campaign for the American election is violent. Also like Donald Trump's meeting at Madison Square Garden, we talked about it yesterday in this podcast. Tonight Kamala Harris gives the biggest rally before the end of the campaign: a final plea. At Ellipse Park, near the White House, where Donald Trump delivered his speech denying his defeat in 2021. Just after the Capitol was attacked. Today Kamala Harris is attacking Donald Trump. D-7 before the American presidential election, welcome to the Washington briefing.

Racist, sexist, hateful… The Madison Square Garden arena in New York did not host a fight this Sunday evening but a meeting… particularly violent.

From the mountains to the sea, from the desert to the plains…The Texan landscape is as contrasted as the subjects addressed by our two candidates for the White House.

One losing momentum, the other full of confidence. D-11 before the American election. Welcome to the Washington briefing!
