As the US presidential election campaign intensifies, Vice President Kamala Harris has criticized former President Donald Trump as a fascist, citing his authoritarian tendencies. This has sparked a fiery exchange between the two candidates, with Trump dismissing Harris' claims and labeling her a threat to democracy. Polls indicate a close race, especially in pivotal swing states like Pennsylvania, where Harris has been actively engaging with voters on issues like fracking and abortion rights.
Both candidates are employing stark contrasts to sway undecided voters, with Trump drawing support from working-class and Latino communities despite his controversial rhetoric. Pollster Frank Luntz warns of the deep distrust among Americans towards the political system, emphasizing the unpredictable nature of this election. He highlights the disillusionment of voters and the potential for Trump's extreme remarks to go unpunished at the polls.
With no clear frontrunner, the focus is on mobilization and the influence of key demographics, including young African American men and Latino voters. As the election approaches, the possibility of a contested result looms, further fueling tensions and uncertainty in an already polarized nation.
