Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are making a beeline for swing states that they hope to flip this year, both of them trying to expand their narrow paths to victory in a closely fought presidential campaign. Read more.
Who Won The Debate Tonight
Why this matters: Harris has her sights set on North Carolina, where she’s scheduled to hold rallies in Charlotte and Greensboro on Thursday after her commanding performance on the debate stage. Democrats haven’t won North Carolina’s electoral votes since 2008, but they hope that the state’s growing and diversifying population will give them an edge this time.

Trump is heading west to Tucson, Arizona, as he looks to stabilize his campaign, which continues to struggle to recalibrate nearly two months after Harris replaced President Joe Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. Although Harris’ team said she’s willing to do another debate, the Republican candidate has waffled. “Are we going to do a rematch?” Trump said Wednesday. “I just don’t know.”

Only a handful of battleground states will decide the outcome of the election. Arizona is another state where the presidential race could be shaped, at least in part, by down-ballot races. Republicans have won Arizona in nearly every presidential election since World War II, but Biden managed a narrow victory in 2020.
