Former President Donald Trump urged voters who don’t like him to vote against Vice President Kamala Harris during an event with Fox News host Sean Hannity. Trump emphasized the need to sway negative opinions towards Harris even if voters dislike him, stating, “You can’t take the chance! You have no choice! You’ve got to for me!” The event, billed as a Trump “town hall” in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, did not include questions from voters.
Trump previewed his strategy of attacking Harris ahead of the upcoming debate and criticized the debate sponsor, ABC News, over fairness concerns. He also highlighted the importance of early voting, despite his previous opposition to mail-in balloting.
The event came as Harris continues to lead in national polls, including a 48%-43% advantage over Trump in a new USA TODAY/Suffolk Poll. Polls in battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina remain tight and will likely determine the election outcome in the Electoral College.
Trump expressed frustration over being labeled as “weird” by Democrats and emphasized the challenges of campaigning amid heightened security concerns following an assassination attempt on him in July.
Overall, the event underscored Trump’s efforts to rally support against Harris, his strategy for the upcoming debate, and the lingering threat of violence in the political landscape.
