Presidential Campaigns In Final Sprint

October 23, 2024 5:00 am

WASHINGTON (AP) — As the 2024 presidential contest speeds to its conclusion, Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump are embracing wildly different strategies. Both are racing to energize the coalitions they need to win the presidency on Nov. 5. Trump’s team has largely abandoned traditional efforts to target moderate voters in the final days before the election. His campaign is focusing instead on his base of fiery partisans and low-propensity voters — especially young men — with tough talk at rallies and media appearances. Harris, meanwhile, is leaning into a more traditional all-of-the-above playbook. She’s targeting the narrow slice of undecided voters that remain, especially moderates, college-educated suburbanites, and women of all races and education levels.
