Three weeks before the presidential elections in the United States, which take place on November 5, the polls are still as close as ever, but several surveys reveal the difficulties of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in gaining votes among black and Latino voters. Americans.
A survey New York Times-Siena College, published on Sunday, gives him less than 60% of voting intentions in the Hispanic community, the lowest level for a Democratic candidate in 20 years. She is credited with only 19 points ahead of her Republican opponent within this strategic electorate in several states, such as Arizona or Nevada, i.e. 7 less than Joe Biden in 2020 and 20 less than Hillary Clinton in 2016.
On Sunday, the vice-president was in North Carolina (southeast), in a region with a large black American population in this state won for the last time by a Democrat in 2008, and which has just been affected by the hurricane Helene. At a meeting in Greenville, she attacked her rival, accusing him of a lack of transparency about her state of health and his refusal to have a second debate with her.
Trump ‘provokes fear’
«Is his (campaign team) worried that people will see that he is too weak and unstable to lead America?“, she asked herself. For Ms. Harris, “Donald Trump is more interested in scaring people, creating fear, stirring up problems rather than helping to solve them, which is what real leaders do.».
Previously, she had greeted “heroes and angels» revealed by the disaster caused by Hurricane Helene, while castigating “those who divert people’s tragedies and sorrow into resentment and hatred” in “spreading misinformation“. She was referring to Donald Trump’s allegations that the Democratic government had abandoned the populations of the majority Republican areas of North Carolina.
“Enemy from within”
Donald Trump, 78, was on his side in Arizona, a state bordering Mexico, where he once again deployed his anti-migrant rhetoric, accusing the Biden-Harris government of having “ibrought an army of illegal migrants» venus «dungeons around the world”, and promising to hire 10,000 more border guards.
The populist tribune also said Fox News that «the National Guard”, or even “military”, should be called against “the enemy from within», against “very bad people (…) crazy people, far left psychos».
After these remote duels, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will both be in Pennsylvania (northeast) on Monday, considered crucial for opening the way to the White House.
