WASHINGTON-With just a month left in a deadlocked US presidential election, former president Donald Trump urged supporters on Oct 6 in the battleground state of Wisconsin to get out and vote, as Vice-President Kamala Harris kicked off a week-long media interview blitz with a focus on reproductive rights.
Polls have the Republican and Democratic candidates neck and neck, fuelling a high-cost, highintensity scramble for each and every wavering voter in the seven key states that are likely to decide the outcome on Nov 5.
Trump lost Wisconsin in 2020 and this was his fourth visit in eight days.
Ms Harris was there earlier this week, holding a rally in Ripon, birthplace of the Republican Party, where she appealed to moderate and disgruntled conservatives.
"I'm only asking you to do one thing," Trump told the crowd in the town of Juneau. "Just go out and vote." He also repeated false allegations that the Biden-Harris administration had redirected relief funds for areas devastated by Hurricane Helene and spent them on migrant programmes.
Ms Harris, he said, is "someone who steals your wealth and abandons your family when the flood waters rise".
