2024 election update: Trump on Joe Rogan podcast, Harris' Beyoncé rally, more news, polls | Oct. 25
NEW YORK - With Election Day 2024 just over a week away, both Vice President Harris and former President Trump are intensifying their campaigns, bringing in big names to attract younger voters. A new poll indicates that they are deadlocked until the end, adding to the urgency of their efforts.
Both candidates will be in Texas today, with Harris holding an abortion rights rally in Houston featuring hometown star Beyoncé.
It's still unclear if Beyoncé will officially endorse her. Harris’ campaign has adopted Beyoncé’s 2016 song "Freedom" as its anthem, reinforcing the theme of liberty that resonates with her message.
Meanwhile, Trump will make his much-anticipated debut on "The Joe Rogan Experience," targeting a largely young male audience as potential voters after being a conference on border security alongside Sen. Ted Cruz.
He is also expected to return to New York City this weekend for a rally at Madison Square Garden.
