In the lead-up to the final stretch of the presidential campaign, Harris and Trump hold rallies in crucial swing states.

After the first and final debate between Vice President Harris and former President Trump, both major party candidates are continuing their campaigning in crucial general election states.

On Thursday afternoon, Harris will be in North Carolina's largest city for the first of two rallies in a crucial southeastern swing state, followed by a nighttime event in Greensboro.

On Friday, the vice president will participate in two campaign events in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state with the highest number of electoral votes at stake.

The Harris campaign is intensifying its efforts with less than eight weeks until Election Day on Nov. 5, following a strong debate performance by the vice president.

Donna Brazile, a veteran Democrat strategist and former Democratic National Committee Chair, informed Planet Chronicle that the campaign's pace is about to intensify.

Brazile, who was close to Harris and managed Al Gore's 2000 presidential campaign, stated that she wouldn't slow down.

On Friday, Trump will be in Arizona, a crucial southwestern battleground, while Harris takes the stage in Charlotte. On Saturday, Trump heads to another swing state, Nevada.

Seven states, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada, as well as Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin, were crucial in determining President Biden's 2020 election victory over Trump and will likely play a decisive role in the 2022 election between Harris and the former president.

The margin-of-error race between Harris and Trump in the swing states is indicated by the latest national polls and surveys.

The latest Planet Chronicle Power Rankings, released on Thursday, show that Trump has lost his lead in North Carolina and Georgia, making these battlegrounds now toss-ups in the White House race.

After the debate at a Philadelphia watch party, Harris stated to a crowd of supporters that they were still considered underdogs in the race.

For the second consecutive day, the Harris campaign released a new digital advertisement featuring footage from her debate with Trump to emphasize their policy differences.

The Trump campaign launched a new ad in Pennsylvania attacking Harris on the topic of fracking.

The Trump campaign and allied Republicans have criticized Harris for not giving many interviews and holding no news conferences since becoming the Democrats' standard-bearer. However, Trump's campaign announced that he would hold another news conference on Friday in Los Angeles. It is worth noting that Trump did not take any questions during his previous event that was advertised as a news conference.

Sources close to the Harris administration predict that the vice president will increase her media presence in the near future. It is reported that Harris will participate in a talk with journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists this month. Previously, Trump had criticized Harris for not attending a similar event, which he attended in person.

On Thursday and Friday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Harris' running mate, will continue his weeklong campaign swing across battleground states.

On Thursday, Sen. JD Vance of Ohio was leading two high-priced fundraisers in New York City. However, he is expected to return to the campaign trail shortly.

By engaging with people where they are, it's time to get busy where it matters, as Brazile pointed out, indicating the calendar.
