TRAVERSE CITY, Mich.: Kamala Harris and Donald Trump battle for holdout votes in a penultimate weekend of campaigning in swing states, with Michelle Obama joining the Democrat on stage before the candidate Republican holds stunning rally in New York.

With just ten days left in a hotly contested presidential race, the rivals converge Saturday, Oct. 26, on Michigan, one of three hotly contested “Blue Wall” states – along with Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the main field of battle – which Democrats see as essential to any path to victory on Election Day on November 5.

Polls show deadlock in the final days of the race, and with more than 35 million people nationwide already voting early, Americans are deciding whether to elect the nation’s candidate. the first ever female presidentor its most senior commander-in-chief.

Part of Harris’ strategy is to distance moderate Republicans from an increasingly vituperative Trump, who continues to demeaning certain Americans by calling them “enemies”.

On Friday, he warned that if he wins the White House, people who commit election fraud “will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, which will include lengthy prison sentences.”

For Republican AD Jefferson, a 62-year-old worker attending Harris’ rally in Houston, the turmoil around Trump is too much.

“I just think it’s less controversial,” he told AFP. “I’m a Republican, but I feel like Trump is just too chaotic for me.” Fresh from a high-energy rally in Texas with pop icon Beyoncé to highlight Republican restrictions on abortionHarris is heading to Kalamazoo, Michigan, where she will woo voters with even more star power, this time deploying one of the Democratic Party’s most popular emissaries: former first lady Michelle Obama .
