With just over six weeks until Election Day on November 5th and more states offering early voting and absentee voting, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump have no plans to slow down their campaigning in key battleground states.
Governor Harris will stop in Michigan on Thursday evening before heading to Georgia for a reproductive rights event on Friday afternoon, then attend a rally in Wisconsin later that day.
Trump, who campaigned in Michigan earlier this week, will resume his campaigning duties with a rally in North Carolina on Saturday.

Those four states, along with Pennsylvania, Arizona and Nevada, narrowly clinched President Biden's victory over President Trump in the 2020 presidential election. And those seven battleground states will likely determine whether Ms Harris or Mr Trump wins the 2024 election and succeeds Mr Biden in the White House.
During her visit to the Atlanta area, Harris will likely keep the spotlight on the hotly contested issue of abortion, which has been a victory at the ballot box for Democrats since a conservative-majority Supreme Court overturned a landmark law enacted nearly half a century ago two years ago. Roe v. Wade The ruling made abortion legal nationwide.
What the latest Fox News poll says about Harris vs. Trump
“Trump's anti-abortion law criminalizes reproductive health care,” Harris said on social media Thursday night after raising the issue during a livestreamed forum with Oprah Winfrey, best known as a Michigan surrogate mother.
Biden narrowly defeated Trump in Georgia four years ago, becoming the first Democrat to win the presidential election in the state in more than a quarter century.

Harris is returning to southeastern Georgia after campaigning in the state earlier this month.
Trump has not returned to Georgia since holding a large rally in Atlanta on August 5 amid strained relations with the state's popular conservative two-term governor, Brian Kemp.
Who will have the advantage in these key battlegrounds: Trump or Harris?
The latest Georgia polls, conducted after the first, and likely only, debate between Harris and Trump, show the former president holding a slight, low single-digit lead over the vice president.

Harris will hold a rally in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday, marking her fourth visit to the Midwest battleground state since replacing Biden as the Democratic presidential frontrunner for 2024 more than two months ago.
The latest polls in Wisconsin also show the race within the margin of error, with Harris leading Trump by just a low single digit margin.
Wisconsin, along with Michigan and Pennsylvania, is part of what Democrats call the “Blue Wall of the Rust Belt” states that Democrats had reliably won in presidential elections for 25 years until Trump narrowly won all three states and took the White House in 2016. But four years ago, Biden narrowly defeated Trump in all three states to win the presidential election.

Trump returns to North Carolina on Saturday, a state he beat Biden by about one percentage point four years ago.
The state is a must-win for the Republican presidential candidate, and his campaign is currently spending heavily on advertising in North Carolina, with the latest polls suggesting it's a close coin-toss race with the former president holding a slight lead.
Trump's visit came two days after a shocking report derailed the state's gubernatorial race, alleging that controversial Republican candidate and Lt. Governor Mark Robinson had posted disturbing and inflammatory comments on a pornography site forum – allegations Robinson denies.
A source familiar with President Trump's rally in Wilmington, North Carolina on Saturday told Fox News that Robinson will not be attending the rally.
