The space, with wood floors and exposed pipes, featured small prints set up on easels. Larger landscape photographs were displayed on the walls.<\/p>\n<p>Harris singled out Lindo, who has starred in films and CBS\u2019 \u201cThe Good Fight,\u201d saying to the gathered crowd: \u201cDelroy has been supporting me for years and years and years,\u201d and adding that the two were both on the debate team at her alma mater, Howard University.<\/p>\n<p>Harris reminded the group that early voting starts in Michigan in four days. Trump, meanwhile, focused on reaching women. He planned to tape a Fox News Channel town hall featuring an all-female audience and moderated by host Harris Faulkner.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019 running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, unveiled <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/harris-walz-rural-voters-pennsylvania-trump-291214562d083593f29f8972429a9bec\">his ticket\u2019s plan to improve the lives of rural Americans<\/a><\/span>. It was yet another sign that in a razor-tight race, each side is trying to cut into the other\u2019s margin of support with different voting blocs while shoring up traditional areas of strength.<\/p>\n<p>Harris, too, will appear at a town hall-style event in Detroit hosted by the morning radio program \u201cThe Breakfast Club,\u201d featuring Charlamagne Tha God, who is especially popular with Black males.<\/p>\n<p>The push comes a day after she announced a <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/harris-black-men-empowerment-voter-policy-proposals-67ac83899af785cf4d8788b9fcdeb592\">series of new proposals<\/a><\/span> dubbed the \u201cOpportunity Agenda for Black Men.\u201d The ideas are meant to offer the demographic more economic advantages, including providing forgivable business loans of up to $20,000 for entrepreneurs and creating more apprenticeships. The plan would also support the study of sickle cell and other diseases more common in Black men.<\/p>\n<p>The focus on Black men sharpened last week when former President Barack Obama campaigned for Harris in Pittsburgh and said he wanted to speak \u201csome truths\u201d to Black male voters, suggesting some &#8221; <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/obama-harris-trump-2024-election-d9874edf5ae646bf632dc463bcee3625\">just aren\u2019t feeling the idea of having a woman as president<\/a><\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The vice president\u2019s campaign says it doesn\u2019t believe Black men will flip in large numbers to supporting Trump, especially after strongly backing Democrat Joe Biden, with Harris as his running mate, in 2020. They are more concerned about a measurable percentage of Black males opting not to vote at all.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Raphael Warnock, the first Black senator elected from the state of Georgia, issued a stark warning in Atlanta to other Black men that voting for Trump will be \u201cliterally dangerous\u201d for them, as the former president heads there for a rally.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe will be dangerous every time you get in the car and you deal with the issue of driving while Black,\u201d Warnock said.<\/p>\n<p>He argued that Democrats\u2019 job is to reach Black men who are deciding whether to vote at all. \u201cThe issue is folks have got to understand that if you do not vote, it\u2019s a vote for Donald Trump,\u201d Warnock said.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019 campaign has also placed special emphasis on other male voters, including creating \u201c <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-harris-nevada-michigan-hispanic-voters-milton-2a9db630d1318e78de91efd2df5a16f0\">Hombres con Harris<\/a><\/span>,\u201d or \u201cMen with Harris,\u201d a group that is using celebrities and key elected officials to organize events on her behalf meant to appeal to Hispanic men.<\/p>\n<div class=\"Infobox\" data-module=\"\" data-gtm-region=\"What to know about the 2024 Election Today's news: Follow live updates from the campaign trail from the AP.

Dearborn, outside Detroit, is the largest Arab-majority city in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the vice president\u2019s campaign expects to see strong support on Election Day from white, college-educated voters in Michigan at rates that might exceed Biden\u2019s in 2020, and she hopes to expand the margin by which Trump lost many of the state\u2019s key suburbs four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also seized on insults Trump made about Detroit last week while campaigning there. He said if Harris wins, \u201cOur whole country will end up being like Detroit.\u201d He added, \u201cYou\u2019re going to have a mess on your hands.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump has maligned cities hosting him before, but Harris said it was proof he was \u201cunfit to be president.\u201d Her campaign also released an ad voiced by actor Courtney B. Vance, a Detroit native, that declares: \u201cWhat Donald Trump doesn\u2019t understand, or care to learn, is that when he said, \u2018Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she\u2019s your president.\u2019 That he should be so &#8230; lucky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump is scheduled to return to Detroit later this week for a rally.<\/p>\n<p>The former president figures to do well with rural voters, but team Harris hopes to at least keep things closer. And while Harris\u2019 support among women is strong, Trump aims to keep her from running up the score.<\/p>\n<p>Trump has seen his support among women, especially in the suburbs of many key swing states, soften since his term in the White House. <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ap-norc-poll-trump-harris-favorability-rating-3f0a52c889027df9b46f2d9407190217\">A September AP-NORC poll<\/a><\/span> found more than half of registered voters who are women have a somewhat or very favorable view of Harris, while only about one-third have a favorable view of Trump.<\/p>\n<p>To reverse the trend, Trump has sought to cast himself as being able to <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-women-protector-abortion-election-697ce355f7386bfd192b99bb00322705\">personally shield women from various threats<\/a><\/span>, as when he suggested at a rally in Pennsylvania last month that women in America, \u201cwill no longer be abandoned, lonely or scared. You will no longer be in danger.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou will be protected, and I will be your protector,\u201d Trump said then. He\u2019s also suggested that, should he win, women will no longer have a reason to think about abortion, after three Supreme Court judges that he appointed helped in 2022 to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that had guaranteed a woman\u2019s right to the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>In Chicago before members of the Economic Club, Trump defended his support for high tariffs as an economic cure-all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo me, the most beautiful word in the dictionary is \u2018tariff,\u2019\u201d Trump told Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, who interviewed him at the event. Micklethwait has repeatedly pressed Trump on warnings from economists that the costs of high tariffs will be passed along to American consumers, raising prices.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Long reported from Washington.
