After her massive event on Tuesday in Washington, Kamala Harris gave three rallies this Wednesday, in North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. For his part, Donald Trump also went to North Carolina and Wisconsin. He attended the Green Bay (Wisconsin) rally wearing a vest that he had put on before to get on a garbage truck with his campaign logo, criticizing Biden for the phrase in which he seemed to call his followers “garbage.” Both candidates have undertaken a marathon race through the seven states decisive for the election of the president, which will not stop until election day.
Harris unveiled his final program this Wednesday. In five days he will tour the seven key states in the presidential battle. This Thursday he makes a hat trick in the West, with rallies in Phoenix (Arizona) and Las Vegas and Reno (Nevada). Trying to attract the Latino electorate, he will be accompanied in Phoenix by the Mexican northern music group Los Tigres del Norte and in Las Vegas, by the also Mexican Maná. Furthermore, in the latter, he will receive the support of Jennifer Lopez, who has decided to join after at Trump’s rally this Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York a comedian insulted Puerto Rico, calling it a “floating garbage island.” .
On Friday it will be the turn of a rally in Milwaukee (Wisconsin) where Harris already gave a massive rally in August, escaping one day from the Democratic convention in Chicago. It is one of the States where polls have given it a somewhat greater advantage, although always within great equality. Before the massive rally there will be a community event in that same State in the Appleton area.
The Democratic candidate will do double duty again on Saturday, this time in the Southeast, with an event in Atlanta (Georgia), where last week she gave her first joint rally with former President Barack Obama, to which several celebrities joined and in which Bruce Springsteen performed. Then, in the evening, he will give another one in Charlotte, the main city in North Carolina.
Next, Vice President Harris will hold campaign events on Sunday, November 2 in Michigan and Monday, November 3 in Pennsylvania. These two states are key, along with Wisconsin, for the clearest possibility of victory for the candidate. Winning in all three, which Democrats call the Blue Wall, would allow him to reach the White House, even if he loses in the rest of the decisive states. The local Philadelphia media have announced that on Monday he will hold a large rally in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Monday, the eve of the presidential elections, but it would not be unusual for him to have more than one intervention that same day in other places in the most important of the decisive states.
The garbage truck
This Wednesday, Trump got into a garbage truck that was marked with his campaign logo and headed to the Green Bay rally in it. “Do you like my garbage truck? “It is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden,” he said. Biden ruined the message of unity that Harris launched at her Washington rally on Tuesday by trying to respond to the insult to Puerto Rico at Trump’s rally.
“The only trash I see floating around is his supporters,” Biden said, according to the White House transcript, or “The only trash I see floating around is his supporters,” as interpreted by Republicans, who have complained from the House of Representatives about that transcript (“is his supporter’s” rather “is his supporters”,phonetically the same).Biden later said that he was referring to the comedian’s rhetoric about Puerto Rico, but the damage had already been done and Republicans have managed to get more people talking about what the president said than what was said at Madison Square Garden.
The fact is that Trump gave the Green Bay rally wearing the garbageman vest. From there he also heads to the West, where he will make a hat trick this Thursday, in his case with rallies in Henderson (Nevada) and in Albuquerque (New Mexico), despite the fact that the latter is not in theory a decisive state, but a Democratic one, and with an event with presenter Tucker Carlson in Glendale (Arizona).
Trump will continue with at least two other rallies on Friday in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), where he will coincide with Harris, and in Warren (Michigan). And on Saturday he plans to hold three rallies, two in North Carolina (in Gastonia and Greensboro) and one in Salem, in Virginia, another theoretically Democratic state.
The Republican has not yet revealed where he will close his campaign, but it is likely that he will also do so in Pennsylvania, the biggest trophy of the seven key states, with its 19 votes in the Electoral College.
