Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will crisscross several swing states on Wednesday, passing each other in Wisconsin, where the former president is scheduled to appear in Green Bay with a one-time local icon, retired NFL quarterback Brett Favre.

Mumford & Sons, Gracie Abrams, Remi Wolf and members of the band The National are expected to appear at Harris’ rally Wednesday night in Madison.

Harris on Tuesday sought to remind Americans what she says  life was like under Trump and claimed to offer voters a different path forward if they send her to the White House, in a speech billed as her campaign’s closing argument.

Here’s the latest:

Democrats are leaning on celebrity star power. Will it matter?

WASHINGTON — Kamala Harris has Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. Donald Trump has Kid Rock, Waka Flocka Flame and Hulk Hogan.

As the 2024 campaign whirls into its final week, Democrats are noticeably leaning on their star power advantage, calling on a diverse range of celebrities to endorse Harris, invigorate audiences and, they hope, spur people to the ballot box.

‘I will represent all Americans, including those who don’t vote for me’

Harris said she spoke with Biden Tuesday night after her speech, but his comments in the campaign call didn’t come up.

She said: “I will represent all Americans, including those who don’t vote for me.”

The flap over the president’s comments allowed Harris to make her sharpest break yet with Biden during her three-month campaign for the White House. She’s come under fire for not differentiating herself enough from the unpopular Democratic incumbent.

Harris says she disagrees ‘with any criticism of people based on who they vote for’

The vice president was responding on Wednesday to comments made by President Joe Biden on Tuesday night.

Biden was on a campaign call Tuesday evening reacting to a comic who called Puerto Rico garbage during a Trump rally last weekend. The president said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

Biden’s remarks were seen by Republicans as denigrating Trump supporters, a distraction for Harris when she is trying to reach out to GOP voters. But Republicans say they were an echo of the time when Hillary Clinton, as the Democratic nominee against Trump in 2016, said half of Trump’s supporters belonged to a “basket of deplorables.”

Trying to clean up the mistake, Biden sent a social media post seeking to clarify his remarks.

“His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable,” Biden said of Trump. “That’s all I meant to say.”

Harris noted that Biden later clarified his comments.

Trump to campaign with former NHL quarterback

Donald Trump will be campaigning with former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre in Wisconsin on Wednesday night at the same time that popular musicians will be rallying with Vice President Kamala Harris about two hours away in the swing state’s capital city.

Mumford & Sons, Gracie Abrams, Remi Wolf and members of the band The National were slated to appear at the Harris rally Wednesday night in Madison.

At the same time, about 140 miles northeast of there, Trump was to hold a rally not far from Lambeau Field with Favre.

Both Harris and Trump will again be in Wisconsin for dueling events on Friday. Trump is holding a rally Friday night in Milwaukee at the Fiserv Center, which was the site of the Republican National Convention. Harris is planning multiple stops in the state but has not said where yet. Wisconsin is one of seven battleground states that’s seen multiple visits from Trump, Harris, their running mates and other surrogates.

Two closing arguments show the stark choice between Trump and Harris

NEW YORK — In the shadow of the White House, seven days before the final votes of the 2024 election are cast, Kamala Harris vowed to put country over party and charged that Donald Trump is her view obsessed with revenge and his own personal interests.

Less than 48 hours earlier inside Madison Square Garden, Trump called his Democratic opponent “a trainwreck who has destroyed everything in her path.”

Two nights and 200 miles apart, the dueling closing arguments outlined in stark terms the choice U.S. voters face on Nov. 5 when they will weigh two very different visions of leadership and America’s future.
