Trump and Harris pause their election campaign and set strategic stops


Trump and Harris pause their election campaign and set strategic stops

While both presidential candidates focused on traveling to the crucial swing states before election day, both candidates are taking a short break from campaigning.

On the Democratic side, Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to speak at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 47th annual leadership conference in Washington on Wednesday and has planned trips to Michigan and Wisconsin later in the week.

Latino voters form a crucial bloc in swing states like Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Speaking on the Nueva Network this week with the star known as “Chiquibaby,” Harris touted her proposed tax deductions for new small businesses, her experience as California’s attorney general in borderline cases and her support for creating a “path to citizenship for those who have earned it.”

On the Republican side, former President Donald Trump is traveling to Uniondale, Long Island, for his first major event since the apparent second assassination attempt. He traveled to Flint, Michigan, on Tuesday, and does not appear to have changed his plans for upcoming trips to the nation’s capital and North Carolina later this week.

On Tuesday, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that Republicans have “a real chance to win New York for the first time in many decades.” In the same post, Trump also promised that he would “take back SALT” and hinted that he would repeal a cap on state and local tax deductions that was part of a tax cut law he signed in 2017.

His running mate, Ohio Senator JD Vance, is scheduled to hold an event in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Wednesday.
