Standing in line for Harris’ Allentown rally, 54-year-old Ron Kessler, an Air Drive veteran and Republican-turned-Democrat, stated he plans to vote for simply the second time in his life. Kessler stated that, for a very long time, he did not vote, considering the nation “would vote for the right candidate”.
However “now that I am older and rather more wiser, I imagine it is essential, it is my civic obligation. And it is essential that I vote for myself and I vote for the democracy and the nation.”
As just lately as Sunday, Trump renewed his false claims that US elections are rigged towards him, mused about violence towards journalists and stated he ” should not have left” the White Home in 2021 – darkish turns which have overshadowed one other anchor of his closing argument: “Kamala broke it. I’ll repair it.”
The election is likely to be decided across seven states. Trump gained Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016 solely to see them flip to Biden in 2020. North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada add the Solar Belt swath of the presidential battleground map.
