With Election Day only 16 days away, Vice President Kamala Harris spent her birthday on Sunday campaigning in Georgia, while former President Donald Trump was in Pennsylvania.
On her 60th birthday, Harris attended a service at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in the city of Stonecrest and then sat down for a friendly interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton on his MSNBC show “Politics Nation.”
Georgia is again shaping up to be an important swing state in the upcoming election, with massive implications for who controls the White House next year.
Harris told Sharpton that “Donald Trump should never again stand behind the seal of the president of the United States. He has not earned the right. He has not earned the right. And that’s why he’s going to lose.”
Trump, who held a town hall event in between working a blue collar job and watching football in the battleground Keystone States, wished his opponent a happy birthday.
“By the way, it’s her 60th birthday, so I wanna wish her a happy 60th birthday,” Trump said at the beginning of the Lancaster town hall, adding he hopes she has “many more, and I mean it.”
After serving McDonald’s fast food to customers through the drive-thru window in Feasterville-Trevose, Pennsylvania, Trump stayed on message in the town hall with moderator Sage Steele, a former ESPN host, saying he is going to unleash fracking in the state.
“You could do much more (fracking). You could do double and triple what you’re doing right now,” Trump said. “We’re gonna let them frack, frack, frack, like a duck.”
The former president said a booming economy and lower interest rates under a Trump presidency will enable first-time homebuyers to actually purchase a house. He also reminded the crowd that he wants to eliminate tax on tips, overtime, and social security benefits for seniors. Trump also promised police reform to Lancaster County Sheriff Christopher Lepper, who was in attendance.
Trump traveled to Pittsburgh after, where he attended a primetime game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New York Jets.
The Republican Vice Presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), campaigned on his own on Sunday, holding a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin, focusing on religious freedom. Vance was also seen pouring beers for Green Bay Packers fans while in the state.
Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) traveled to New England, where he delivered evening speeches in Boston, Massachusetts, and Greenwich, Connecticut, for the Harris Victory Fund.
Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, has been holding his own town hall campaign events across Pennsylvania in support of Trump.
Musk has been awarding $1 million a day to one Pennsylvania voter who sign his America PAC petition to protect both the First and Second Amendments.
Penn. Gov. Josh Shapiro appeared on NBC’s “Meet The Press” earlier in the day and expressed concern over Musk’s spending in the Keystone State.
“I think it’s something that law enforcement could take a look at,” Shapiro said. “I think there are real questions with how he is spending money in this race, how the dark money is flowing, not just into Pennsylvania, but apparently now into the pockets of Pennsylvanians.”
Musk responded Sunday evening on X, saying it’s, “Concerning that [Shapiro] would say such a thing.”
