As the U.S. presidential election approaches, Republican former President Donald Trump and Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris are attracting notable figures to their campaign rallies. Both candidates advocated for early voting in crucial swing states this Saturday as the race intensified.
Harris rallied with pop icons Lizzo in Detroit and Usher in Atlanta, criticizing Trump as “exhausted and unhinged.” Meanwhile, Trump delivered a lengthy speech in Pennsylvania, with billionaire Elon Musk supporting him at a separate event in the state.
The campaigns are vying for every possible vote, with polls indicating a tight race less than three weeks before Election Day. In Detroit, Harris championed her platform as pro-working and middle classes, while in Atlanta, she critiqued Trump’s recent public appearances as lacking coherence.
Trump energized his base with a 90-minute speech. He attacked his opponents and reiterated disputed claims about the 2020 election. He emphasized Pennsylvania’s critical role in winning the presidency, declaring that victory in the state would secure the overall election.
Lizzo and Usher, each supporting Harris, emphasized the importance of leadership that listens and serves the public. With early voting underway, both candidates will focus their final campaign efforts on battleground states.
