Three weeks before the November 5 election, the race between American Vice-President Kamala Harris, at a meeting in Erie (north-east), and former President Donald Trump, campaigning in the suburbs of Philadelphia, is still as close as ever. .
« Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unbalanced, he is seeking unchecked power “, launched the Democrat after accusing the Republican of wanting to attack his opponents – journalists, judges and electoral officials included – who “ would refuse to bow » in front of him.
She broadcast extracts from an intervention by Donald Trump, who further raised his anti-migrant rhetoric, accusing the Biden/Harris government on Sunday of having “ imported an army of illegal immigrants » venus « dungeons around the world » during an event in Arizona.
He also stated that “ the National Guard » or even “ military » should be called against “ the enemy from within » in the United States, « crazy people, far left weirdos ». « This is one of the reasons why I think so strongly that a second Trump term would be a huge risk for America, it would be very dangerous “said Kamala Harris on Monday.
Neck and neck in the polls
At the same time, his Republican rival quickly answered a question from a voter in the town of Oaks about his measures to counter inflation, before focusing on his favorite theme, border security.
The outcome of the vote is more uncertain than ever, with the two adversaries neck and neck with the gap seeming to be narrowing further. In the American election by indirect suffrage, Pennsylvania will offer a precious windfall of 19 electors to whoever wins.
Two latest polls published this weekend show Donald Trump trimming the very slight lead of his rival, who is struggling to gain enough votes among Latin American voters and black voters. Donald Trump rejoiced Monday in Pennsylvania about polls which “ broke the ceiling » thanks to the black and Hispanic electorate. “ I love it. »
The crucial vote of African Americans
The former California prosecutor thus rolled out during her meeting a series of proposals presented earlier by her team and supposed to directly benefit African-American men. This program aims to help them launch their small business or trade, in particular thanks to advantageous loans, but also contains training and apprenticeship aid, as well as a system of favored access to professions in the education.
Last Thursday, former President Barack Obama criticized his “ brothers » blacks, according to him reluctant to elect a woman for the first time in American history. African-Americans voted 90% for Joe Biden in 2020, a level that fell to 78% for Kamala Harris according to a New York Times/Siena College opinion poll. Hence the current seduction operation of the vice-president, who will be 60 years old next week.
After attending a religious service on Sunday in a church attended mainly by African-Americans in Greenville, North Carolina, the vice-president gave an interview, broadcast Monday, to a black journalist, Roland Martin. She repeated her attack made in recent days on Donald Trump’s lack of transparency regarding his state of fitness.
Trump’s health criticized
The 78-year-old Republican refuses to make a detailed medical assessment public and has declined the offer of a second televised debate with his rival. “ Why is his team doing this? “, asked Kamala Harris. “ Maybe they think he’s not ready. In poor physical condition and unstable ».
Donald Trump’s campaign team responded Monday by claiming that Kamala Harris was “in state of complete despair (…) in the face of the hemorrhage within the categories of voters traditionally leaning towards the Democratic side ».
The candidate plans to return to Pennsylvania in the middle of the week. Her campaign trips will also take her to Michigan, to Detroit, Grand Rapids, Lansing and Oakland County, as well as to Wisconsin, to Milwaukee, La Crosse and Green Bay – two other key states to win the election .
In Detroit on Tuesday, she will appear on a show hosted by Charlamagne Tha God, a radio host and comedian very popular, particularly among young African-American adults. She will also be interviewed on Fox News Wednesday evening.
