US election: 3 days left
\nHarris and Trump are locked in a dead heat, battling for control of Midwestern swing states
\n Dearborn
\nOn Friday, the US presidential candidates campaigned in the key Midwestern swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin, seeking to lure voters.
\nAt rallies, Vice President Kamala Harris slammed former President Donald Trump for his remarks earlier this week suggesting that former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, a staunch critic of Trump, should have \u201cguns trained on her\u201d. Trump has previously suggested that Cheney should face military tribunals.
\nMeanwhile, in his rallies, Trump insisted that the \u201cguns\u201d comment was a legitimate criticism of Cheney\u2019s hawkish foreign policy stance: If she promoted wars, she should have to fight in them herself.
\nNationally, FiveThirtyEight\u2019s poll tracker shows Harris ahead by 1.3 points, as she has been for the past week, and roughly where she and Trump have been for the past few days \u2013 but at a much closer margin than the 2.8 percentage points she was ahead by exactly a month ago.
\nIn critical swing states, which could determine the election outcome, the competition is even tighter.
\nKey battleground states include Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada.
\nFiveThirtyEight\u2019s daily poll tracker indicates that Harris\u2019s lead in Michigan is approximately 1 point. However, she has lost her lead in Nevada, where Trump now leads by 0.4 points.
\nIn Wisconsin, her lead has risen to 0.8 points, up from 0.6 on Thursday.
\nMeanwhile, Trump\u2019s advantage in Pennsylvania has shrunk from 0.7 points to 0.1 points. His lead in North Carolina continues and is now at 1.3 points. Trump is also ahead in Arizona by 2.1 points, and by 1.5 points in Georgia. However, all these gaps are within the margin of error for polls \u2013 so, in effect, the two candidates are in a dead heat across the swing states.
\nHarris spent her day in Wisconsin with events in Janesville, Little Chute, Madison and Milwaukee. Her events boasted singers GloRilla, Cardi B and Flo Milli.
\nShe lambasted Trump over his verbal attack on Liz Cheney. Trump had attacked Cheney, suggesting the former legislator who has endorsed Harris in the race to the White House should face combat with guns trained on her for her policy stance.
\n\u201cShe\u2019s a radical war hawk,\u201d Trump said on Thursday at a campaign event with ex-Fox News television host Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona, also calling Cheney \u201ca deranged person\u201d and \u201ca very dumb individual\u201d.
\nHarris described Cheney as \u201ca true patriot\u201d and said Trump\u2019s increasing \u201cviolent rhetoric\u201d should disqualify him from becoming president again.
\n\u201cHis enemies list has grown longer. His rhetoric has grown more extreme,\u201d Harris told reporters after arriving in Madison, Wisconsin, one of her campaign stops on Friday. \u201cAnd he is even less focused than before on the needs and the concerns and the challenges facing the American people.\u201d
\nIn her rallies, she also promised to build an economy for everyday people and listen to a wide range of voices, asking supporters to encourage family and friends to vote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
