After an eventful summer, the US 2024 fall campaign kicked off this week with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris addressing Labor Day rallies on Monday in two swing states. Her Republican rival, Donald Trump, did not have any scheduled public events. But it’s still a close race as the candidates brace for the last two months of campaigning before the November 5 election.
Labor Day in the USA is celebrated on the first Monday of September, marking the end of summer and the start of the hard-working fall season. In presidential election years, it heralds the final lap to the November vote, when campaigns pick up speed and candidates forego sleep for the final dash to the finish line.
