Harris and Trump in Arizona with 5 days left
Biden continues to walk back his 'garbage' comment while Trump answered questions from a garbage truck in Green Bay.
NEW YORK - With Election Day 2024 days away, former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris remain in a tight presidential race, recent polls show.
Harris is working to clean up President Biden's remark that labeled Trump supporters as "garbage." Meanwhile, Trump is aiming to capitalize on the controversy by literally taking out the trash—throwing on a fluorescent vest and jumping into a garbage truck with his campaign logo in Wisconsin on Wednesday.
The recent stunt aims to capitalize on Biden’s words, rallying Trump’s base while attempting to attract undecided voters in battleground states. However, questions are mounting about Trump’s health after he appeared to stumble while reaching for the truck's door handle.
Both candidates are currently campaigning in Arizona today--a must-win state, where Trump leads Harris by 1.7% in an average of seven state polls, according to data from 270toWin on Oct. 27.
