NEW YORK/PHILADELPHIA Reuters — As the election approaches, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is set to visit North Carolina on Monday, focusing on recovery efforts from storm Helene, which has raised concerns among GOP allies about potential voter turnout in conservative regions.
Democratic candidate Kamala Harris is campaigning in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, joined by former Republican lawmaker Liz Cheney, who has publicly criticized Trump as a threat to democracy.
Their collaboration aims to sway Republican voters hesitant about re-electing Trump.
With polls indicating a tightly contested race, both candidates are ramping up their efforts. Trump recently made a campaign stop in suburban Philadelphia, where he avoided questions on minimum wage increases while engaging with local constituents.
Harris and Cheney will conduct moderated discussions in key communities, seeking to engage undecided voters. Notably, Cheney, a significant figure in the Republican Party’s response to the January 6 Capitol attack, has faced backlash from Trump and his supporters for her stance.
With North Carolina’s recent legislative changes aimed at facilitating voting for storm-affected residents, both campaigns are strategically targeting swing states as they vie for crucial electoral support ahead of Election Day on November 5.
