Vice President Kamala Harris intensified her campaign efforts in battleground states, visiting Arizona on Friday, where she took direct aim at Donald Trump over immigration—one of his signature issues. Harris’s appearance in Arizona, a critical swing state that President Joe Biden narrowly won in 2020, is part of her rapid tour with new running mate Tim Walz, as the duo energizes Democratic voters ahead of the November election.
Contrasting Trump's lighter rally schedule, Harris has kept a relentless pace, speaking to packed crowds across key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin. In Arizona, she criticized Trump for failing to deliver on immigration reform, accusing him of prioritizing political gain over practical solutions. Harris pledged to sign comprehensive reform if elected, emphasizing the need for strong border security coupled with a pathway to citizenship.
Abortion rights also took center stage, with Harris attacking Trump for his role in the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. She highlighted the restrictive abortion laws now in place in states like Arizona, tying them directly to Trump's influence on the court.
While Harris energized over 15,000 supporters in Phoenix, Trump held his first rally of the week in Montana, defending his lighter schedule and dismissing concerns over Harris’s rising poll numbers. With the race heating up, both Arizona and Nevada have been reclassified as "toss-up" states, reflecting the shifting momentum in this closely watched election.
