Polling suggests Michigan as well as its fellow \u201cblue wall\u201d states of Pennsylvania and Wisconsin remained in play for both candidates as the campaign\u2019s waning days arrived.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThis is the place that is going to decide the election, right here,\u201d Democratic congresswoman Hillary Scholten told Friday\u2019s audience as she opened the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Among the crowd, some Harris supporters struck a hopeful tone. \u201cIt\u2019s about time for a woman to lead,\u201d said Jenifer Lake, who took her daughter Adeline Butts to the rally for a chance to \u201csee history in the making\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Butts, who will be old enough to vote for the first time this election, described herself mostly concerned about the cost of living, tuition and housing affordability. And her fellow attender Bill Bray, who came to the rally from Adrian, Michigan, said he believed Harris would better promote economic opportunity for those situated like him than Trump would.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Bray grew up \u201cin a poor neighborhood\u201d but said he is doing well thanks to benefits from his prior military service as well as his long career at Ford Motor Company. He said he wants other people to have a chance at that same trajectory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cTrump doesn\u2019t understand equality,\u201d said Bray, a veteran of the Vietnam war who also accused the former president of dodging the military draft that would have sent him to the same conflict.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Bray also said he supports stronger federal gun control after seeing \u201cwhat guns to do to people\u201d and has no faith in Trump \u2013 who is widely supported by the firearms industry \u2013 taking that issue seriously.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Other attenders said abortion access was at the top of their mind. Harris has campaigned on preserving abortion access while three of Trump\u2019s appointees to the US supreme court helped eliminate federal abortion rights in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cIt\u2019d be nice to have control of my body back, and then I\u2019ll think about listening to the other side,\u201d Kim Osborn said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Lauren Rockel said she would like to see Harris fight to reinstate the Roe v Wade protections that Trump\u2019s supreme court appointees helped strip away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThere are people dying\u201d as a result of abortion restrictions that have since gone into effect in many states, Rockel said. \u201cIt\u2019s awful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">To them, Harris said it was \u201ctime to turn the page\u201d on Trump.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Democratic governor of Michigan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/13\/gretchen-whitmer-doritos-chip\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Gretchen Whitmer<\/a>, spoke before Harris took the stage. Four other Democratic state governors joined her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Her presence and that of the other governors \u201cshows how important you are, Michigan,\u201d Whitmer said. She told the crowd that they would be the ones to \u201ctake our country forward\u201d if they helped send Harris to the White House.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Michigan\u2019s Democratic US senator Debbie Stabenow also spoke before Harris, alluding to how it got \u201cscarier and scarier\u201d the more she thought about the proposed policies of Trump\u2019s supporters. The former president has sought to distance himself from the far-right Heritage Foundation, whose Project 2025 plan calls for the mass firings of civil servants and exalts the idea outlawing abortion altogether during a second Trump presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">But he has struggled to effectively do that, with Trump\u2019s running mate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/jd-vance\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">JD Vance<\/a>, having written the foreword for a book by the Heritage Foundation\u2019s president. And, echoing Stabenow, many attenders said they were fearful and terrified of what a return to the Oval Office for Trump may produce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The Democratic nominee\u2019s message resonated with Richard Bandstra, who described himself as a \u201cformer Republican\u201d. Bandstra said he came to the rally to hear a message of hope \u2013 and, as he saw it, to fight for what he called the most important issue of the race: preserving American democracy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/oct\/18\/kamala-harris-trump-michigan\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kamala Harris used a rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Friday to seize on reports that Donald Trump had been canceling media interviews to question whether he has the stamina &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=115903\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-115903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=115903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115903\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=115903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=115903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=115903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
