Harris follows Oprah occasion with essential swing state go to: Live

“This is an issue that has to do with Robinson’s campaign and not President Trump’s campaign,” a Trump official told Axios on Thursday.

Kamala Harris slammed Donald Trump on abortion rights, bringing up the example of a Georgia woman who died of sepsis after her care was delayed.

“Women are being denied care during miscarriages, some only being treated once they develop sepsis,” she said.

“And we know that women have died because of Trump abortion bans. I was with a mother and the two sisters of a woman who died because of Trump abortion bans just last night,” she said about the event on Thursday night hosted by Oprah Winfrey.

“Her mother said the worst thing among the pain that she’s experiencing is when she heard and reflects on what she was told that it was preventable,” Harris said. “And you know when that decision came down just over two years ago. We predicted this would happen, and it’s preventable.”

“You know, the young woman, she was a vibrant, 28-year-old young woman with a mother of a six-year-old son. Her name Amber Nicole Thurman – I promised her mother I will say her name every time,” Harris added.

The vice president went on to outline how Amber was a medical assistant who had just learned that she was accepted to nursing school.

“She had her whole future planned out, and her sisters and her mother were describing her to me, and they said, ‘you know, she had such light, and she had ambition and she had drive, and she was so proud that she had worked so hard, and she was finally gaining independence that she found an apartment in a safe community’,” the vice president said.

“It had a little pool where her son could play, and she was so proud. She was so proud and so hopeful,” Harris said.

Thurman then found out that she was pregnant, and decided to have an abortion.

“But because of the Trump abortion ban in Georgia, she was forced to travel out of state to receive the health care that she needed,” Harris said on Friday.

The 28-year-old then discovered that she needed further care after coming back to Georgia, where she went to a hospital.

“But under the Trump abortion ban, her doctors could have faced up to a decade in prison for providing Amber the care she needed. And so she waited for 20 excruciating hours,” Harris recalled on Friday. “She waited as she deteriorated, then she reached such a critical state, that the doctors finally operated, and it was too late, and she died of sepsis.“

Medical experts have found that her death was preventable, Harris argued.

“So understand what a law like this means, these kinds of laws under Trump abortion bans, it means doctors may have to wait until the patient is at death’s door before they take any action,” the vice president said.

“Nobody wants that. What is he talking about?” she said of Trump, who has claimed there was a clamor for abortion access decisions to be returned to the states.

“Are we saying we’re going to craft public health policy so that doctors only kick in when you’re about to die?” Harris asked. “This is one example of what is happening around our country right now, and this is a health care crisis, and Donald Trump is the architect.”

“When Congress passes the bill to restore reproductive freedom. As President of the United States, I will proudly sign it into law,” Harris concluded.

A recent AP/NORC poll shows most Americans believe the opposite.

Responding to a shout from the crowd, Harris said: “The courts will take care of that, let’s take care of him in November.”

“But if you look at what he’s up to, Donald Trump will give billionaires and big corporations massive tax cuts,” she added. “He intends to cut Social Security and Medicare, and he wants to impose what I call a Trump sales tax. Because here’s the thing, what he is proposing would be a 20 percent tax on everyday basic necessities, which economists estimate will cost most working families more than $4,000 a year extra.”

Kamala Harris called Donald Trump “an unserious man” as she made her pitch to the swing state of Wisconsin to keep him out of the White House.

“In many ways, you’ve heard me say before, he is an unserious man,” Harris told the crowd.

“But the consequences of putting him back in the White House are extremely serious. Just Google Project 2025,” she added.

“By the way, can you believe they put that thing in writing? I mean, they put it in writing, they had it bound, and they handed it out,” the vice president said.

Harris once again brought up her so far only debate with Donald Trump.

“So some of you might have seen the debate last week that I had with Donald Trump,” she said to cheers.

“And I talked about issues that matter to families across America, like bringing down the cost of living, investing in America’s small businesses, protecting reproductive freedom,” she added.

The vice president said she aimed to keep “our nation safe and secure, but that is not what we heard from Donald Trump.”

“Instead, it was the same old tired show, the same old tired playbook we’ve heard for years with no plan on how he would address the needs of the American people. Well, folks, it’s time to turn the page,” she said.

Kamala Harris took the stage in Madison, Wisconsin on Friday night to a raucous crowd.

“We got work to do – 46 days until the election and what we know is this is going to be a tight race until the very end,” she said. “So let’s not pay too much attention to the polls, because let’s be clear, we are the underdog in this race, and we have some hard work ahead of us. But here’s the thing, we like hard work. Hard work is good work. Hard work is joyful work.”

There are just 47 days until November’s presidential election and the latest AP/NORC poll shows Kamala Harris pulling ahead of Donald Trump as the candidate of which voters have a more positive view.

Specifically, the vice president scores higher on where she is “tough enough to be president”, “would change the country for the better”, and “would fight for people like you”.

The former president meanwhile scores highest on “will say anything to win the election”.

Capping the poll off, a larger share of registered voters believe Harris will win on November 5 (40 per cent) over Trump (28 per cent). One-fifth of respondents think both candidates have an equal shot at the White House.

Majorities of both Democratic registered voters and Republican registered voters think their respective candidate will win, while there independent registered voters favor Harris over Trump, but with almost a quarter saying they do not know enough.

In July, after the Republican convention but before Harris was officially designated as the Democratic nominee, the public was more likely to think Trump would prevail over Harris.

While registered voters are divided on whether Harris would make a good president (47 per cent to 41 per cent), a majority think Trump would not (59 per cent to 36 per cent). These views are heavily influenced by partisanship, with about 8 in 10 Democratic voters and Republican voters believing their respective party’s nominees would make a good president.

Registered voters also have more positive views of Harris than Trump as a candidate. While Harris narrowly beats Trump on whether they are each tough enough to be president (43 per cent versus 42 per cent), slightly more think Harris would fight for people like them and would change the country for the better compared with Trump. And six in 10 think Trump will say anything to win the election compared with four in 10 who think the same about Harris.

Currently, about half of registered voters have a favorable opinion of Harris compared with 37% who have a favorable opinion of Trump. The candidates’ favorability ratings are currently similar to August. Last month, the August 2024 AP-NORC Poll found that 48 per cent of the public had a favorable opinion of Harris and 41 per cent had a favorable opinion of Trump.

The latest poll found that 88 per cent of Democratic voters have a favorable view of Harris, while 77 per cent of Republican voters have a positive opinion of Trump.

The nationwide poll was conducted between September 12-16, 2024 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,028 adults, including 1,771 self-reported registered voters. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.1 percentage points; +/- 3.5 percentage points for registered voters.
