Closing summary
Thanks for joining us today. This blog is closing soon. Here’s where things stand:
Kamala Harris released a report on her medical history today – drawing a contrast with her opponent, who has repeatedly promised and then refused to do the same. The report concludes that Harris “possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the Presidency”. Harris is campaigning in North Carolina this weekend, spending much of her time with Black faith leaders and on hurricane recovery efforts.
Donald Trump attended a roundtable with Latino voters in Las Vegas this afternoon, where he focused on immigration and inflation. He’s on to Coachella, California, later this evening, where he’s expected to speak on immigration and try to convince voters in the reliably blue state to support his candidacy.
Our latest polling shows Harris and Trump are neck-and-neck, with Trump gaining ground on Harris in crucial swing states. Currently, Harris has a slight advantage in Pennsylvania, while Trump is leading in Arizona.
Ex-president Barack Obama will stump for Harris in Detroit later this month. The announcement comes just days after Trump insulted the manufacturing hub while campaigning there.
The New York Times published an hourlong interview with JD Vance today, wherein the vice-presidential nominee refused five times to say that Trump lost the 2020 election. At a rally in Pennsylvania this afternoon, he refused to do so once again.

Speaking at a Pennsylvania rally earlier today, JD Vance again refused to say Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. The news came the same day the New York Times released an hourlong interview with Vance, wherein Vance refused five times to say the former president had lost the election.
“As I said in that interview, and I’m gonna say to you right now, I think the election of 2020 had serious problems,” Vance said.
