Addressing the undecided, plowing the key states: Democrat Kamala Harris will answer live on Wednesday questions from voters in Pennsylvania whom she must convince of the danger of handing over the keys to the White House to Donald Trump a second time.

Less than two weeks before an election scrutinized by the whole world and whose outcome remains very uncertain, the two candidates are multiplying, without sparing each other.
Their increasingly long campaign agendas underline their desire to leave no detail aside and to try to reach all voters, all communities.
On Wednesday, the Democratic candidate will be in Pennsylvania (northeast) and on the grill answering questions from citizens during a public meeting on the CNN channel. A format that she has little favored since entering the campaign three months ago.
This state is probably the most coveted in the election for which more than 240 million Americans are called to the polls.
On Tuesday, Kamala Harris, who in 2021 became the first vice-president in the history of the United States, estimated that the country was ready to elect its first president this time.
Even if she immediately minimized the historic significance that her election could represent. “What most people care about is whether you can do the work and whether you have a plan for them,” she explained.
“Save America”
The arrival in the campaign of Kamala Harris shook up the country which expected to experience the 2020 rematch between President Joe Biden and his predecessor Donald Trump. Everything suddenly changed with the withdrawal of the Democrat in the heart of summer.
Since then, the race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, two polar opposite candidates, has been described as one of the closest in American history in a particularly polarized country.
And to add a little complexity to the picture: it is difficult to know whether the polls are perfectly successful in capturing trends, because in the past they have underestimated the extent of the vote for Donald Trump and recently the Democratic mobilization – notably that of young people and women during the mid-term elections.
In this context, the two candidates are surveying key states. In this huge, very divided country, these “swing states” are indeed crucial to achieving victory.
With this in mind, Donald Trump is traveling to Georgia (south) on Wednesday for two campaign events, the first in Zebulon in a chapel and the second in Duluth for a meeting.
The 78-year-old candidate promised Tuesday to “save America” and quickly end all wars — in the Middle East and Ukraine — after November 5.
Making increasingly outrageous remarks, he also increased personal attacks against his opponent whom he describes as “a stupid person” who “does not deserve to be able to run”. “If she becomes president, this country is finished.”
If he wins in November, the Republican candidate will be the oldest president in American history to take the oath of office.
