Harris and Trump target voters less likely to support them [Video]

In multi-day press tours this week, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are targeting key voting groups they have struggled to win over.On Wednesday, Harris sat down in a heated Fox News Channel interview to appeal to right-leaning voters.The interview, hosted by Fox News’ Bret Baier, focused mostly on immigration, during which Harris criticized Trump for urging Republicans to block a bipartisan immigration bill funding the border.”Donald Trump learned about that bill and told them to kill it because he preferred to run on a problem instead of fixing a problem,” Harris said. “In this election, this is rightly a discussion the American people want to have and what they want are solutions and a president who’s not playing political games with the issue.”Harris also insisted that, if elected, her presidency would not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s administration.”I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, fresh and new ideas,” she said. “I represent a new generation of leadership.”In a Fox News town hall with only women in the audience, Trump stood by his stance on reproductive rights and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.”I’m the father of IVF!” Trump claimed. “For 52 years issue has torn our country apart. Now it’s where everybody has wanted it for years and it’s working its way out in the states.”In a separate Noticias Univision town hall, Trump offered little details on his plan for a strong border and economy while doubling down on the false claim that Haitian migrants in Ohio are eating pets and “destroying the country.””I was just saying what was reported, what’s been reported,” Trump said to one voter’s question on the matter. “They’re eating other things too that they’re not supposed to be.”Trump also addressed concerns over his actions on January 6th, saying people came not because of him, but because of how the 2020 general election was run. He described it instead as a “day of love.”The appearances are attempts from both candidates to eat away at each other’s margins. The Harris campaign said the Fox News interview was a means to expose the vice president’s arguments to Trump-hesitant voters and show her tough stance on policy. Likewise, the town halls served as a way for Trump to appeal to women and Latino voters.Harris has appeared in other TV interviews, whereas Trump has declined some. Harris also agreed to do a second debate following their first in September, but Trump has so far not accepted an invitation to do so.Trump will attend the Al Smith charity dinner in New York Thursday night. Harris is skipping the event, where the candidates normally both attend and make jokes about the other. She’ll campaign in Wisconsin instead.
