Donald Trump and Kamala Harris urge Michigan to vote early. The agreement ends there

Harris responded that she supported ending the war and returning the hostages home, “but now I’m talking about 2024.”

Before Harris took the stage, Obama said the race is too close for his liking when Harris is the only candidate in the race who has outlined a clear set of policies and is not a convicted felon. He repeated his earlier call from the party’s national convention for Democrats to “do something.”

“I stay awake at night wondering what’s going on in the world,” Obama said. “The real question is, as a country, are we prepared for this moment? Are we willing to do whatever it takes to cross the finish line, or are we going to allow ourselves to be distracted and fall for the scam?

Trump’s voting claims

Even as he urged his supporters to vote early, Trump advocated allowing only one day of voting with mandatory voter ID and ballots.

Michigan already uses ballots. Voters are asked to present identification, but if they do not have it they can sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury. Non-citizens cannot vote and since then there has been no “one-day voting.” before the second world warwhen the use of absentee voting was allowed throughout the country.

Michigan voters also initiated Absentee voting “without reason” in 2018, which was first tested in a presidential election during 2020.

In his speech on Saturday, Trump continued to smear the US election, claiming without evidence that “bad things are happening.”

Multiple state-level audits and investigations have refuted any widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election in the state, which Trump sought to overturn. He is now fighting related criminal charges.

Democrats highlight abortion rights

Harris and Obama on Saturday reiterated their calls to consider reproductive rights as a fundamental issue when they go to the polls.

It’s not a new argument for Democrats, who for months have warned voters that a second Trump presidency and a Republican-led Congress could easily undo many state-level protections like Michigan’s put in place after the U.S. Supreme Court United States eliminated federal protections against abortion outlined in Roe v. Wade. .

Harris highlighted recent cases across the country in which pregnant women’s deaths have been linked to state-level abortion restrictions and said Trump has refused to acknowledge the pain and suffering he has caused by appointing anti-abortion judges to the court. highest in the country.
