10-weeks to U.S. presidential polls; Harris has momentum post DNC, Trump pacing up too

With just 10 weeks until Election Day, both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump are intensifying and amplifying their campaigns.

Agencies
Kamala Harris has gained momentum after the DNC, while Trump is actively campaigning in key swing states. Ten weeks remain until November 5th, the election day. Vice President Harris is riding high on the energy and enthusiasm from last week's Democratic National Convention, the former president Trump is working at breakneck speed to slow her progress. This week, Trump will be running for office in three of the seven battleground states from coast to coast that will probably decide the outcome of the 2024 presidential election: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. JD Vance of Ohio, his running mate, visits all three of the so-called ‘Blue Wall’ states.

As part of his counterprogramming, Trump made stops in five important swing states during the Democratic convention last week in Chicago, and Vance also made rounds of the campaign trail. This week, the vice president and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, begin a two-day bus tour in Georgia, a vital battleground in the Southeast. Until Election Day, the campaign trail is expected to remain gridlocked until further notice.

Harris has been condemned by Trump, Vance, their campaign, and allied Republicans for failing to schedule an interview or hold a press conference since taking President Biden's place atop the Democratic Party's 2024 ticket more than five weeks ago.

August is almost over, and as the month comes to an end, people are eager to see how much money the Trump and Harris campaigns have raised so far. Earlier in the year, Biden had a fundraising advantage over Trump; however, in the late spring and early summer, the former president experienced a sharp increase in his funds. But following Biden's historic decision to withdraw from the race for reelection and Harris's ascent to the position of Democratic standard bearer, the campaign and the party saw a sharp increase in funding, with Harris crushing Trump in July.

Harris and Trump are expected to face each other for the first time in the first presidential debate set for September 10 in Philadelphia. Trump has raised doubts about his presence in the program, and he has even claimed that ABC News is skewed and biased. Consequently, the face-off could change the margin of error race between the vice president and the former president. It could be the most decisive in the 2024 election and potentially change the direction of the election. Voters begin voting in the next month with mail-in voting in North Carolina and early voting in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
