New polls released today show that battleground states North Carolina and Pennsylvania remain close in the presidential race. In North Carolina, a poll by AARP shows Donald Trump leading Kamala Harris by a small margin, while in Pennsylvania, the Monmouth University Polling Institute found Harris leading Trump, both within the margin of error.
In other news, the Senate’s Democratic leader Chuck Schumer announced that legislation to keep the government open through the November election is expected to be signed by Joe Biden. This comes after the Republican-controlled House dropped a measure tying government funding to an immigration requirement demanded by Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump outlined his economic policy in a speech in Georgia, focusing on lower taxes for US-based corporations and tariffs on offshoring jobs. However, the speech veered into attacks on immigrants, drawing criticism.
Vice President Kamala Harris is set to outline her economic plans in Pennsylvania and will also sit for an interview with MSNBC. The Secret Service’s failures in protecting Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania were criticized by both Democrats and Republicans, with a Senate report finding preventable errors in handling the assassination attempt.
Overall, the presidential race in North Carolina and Pennsylvania remains undecided, with both candidates campaigning hard to win over voters in these crucial battleground states. Stay tuned for more updates on the campaign trail and government funding decisions.
