Donald Trump and Kamala Harris urge Michigan to vote early. The deal ends there

Harris responded that she supported ending the war and bringing the hostages home, “but right now I’m talking about 2024.”

Before Harris took the stage, Obama said the race was too close for her because Harris is the only candidate in the race who has laid out a clear set of principles and is not a convicted felon. She repeated her earlier call from the Democratic national convention for them to “do something.”

“I lie awake at night wondering what’s going on in the world,” Obama said. “The real question is: Are we as a country ready for this moment? Are we willing to do whatever it takes to get to the finish line, or will we allow ourselves to get distracted and fall victim to fraud?”

Trump’s voting claims

Although he urged supporters to vote early, Trump favored allowing only one day of voting with mandatory voter identification and paper ballots.

Michigan already uses paper ballots. Voters are asked to show ID, but if they don’t have it, they can sign the declaration under penalty of perjury. Non-citizens cannot vote and since then there has been no “one-day voting”. before World War IIwhen the use of absentee ballots was allowed nationwide.

Michigan voters additionally initiated “no reason” postal voting in 2018, which was first tested in the 2020 presidential election.

In his Saturday speech, Trump continued to denigrate the US election, claiming without evidence that “things are bad.”

Multiple statewide audits and investigations have debunked the claim that there was any widespread fraud in the state’s 2020 presidential election, which Trump tried to overturn. Now he’s fighting related criminal charges.

Democrats emphasize abortion rights

On Saturday, as they head to the polls, Harris and Obama renewed calls for reproductive rights to be considered a fundamental issue.

This is not a new argument for Democrats, who have been warning voters for months that a second Trump presidency and a Republican-majority Congress could easily roll back many state-level protections like those enacted in Michigan after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down federal Roe v. Wade abortion protections. .

Harris pointed to recent cases across the country in which the deaths of pregnant women have been linked to state-level abortion restrictions, and said Trump has refused to acknowledge the pain and suffering he has caused by appointing anti-abortion judges to the nation’s Supreme Court.
