US Presidential election 2024: Trump and Harris battle in key battleground states, with polls showing a tight race for the White House.
As the US presidential race enters the last leg, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump traded bitter attacks while racing to woo the voters in key battleground states that could decide the outcome of the razor-tight contest.
On Monday (October 29, 2024), Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee, addressed a rally at the McCamish Pavilion on the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta where he rejected attempts by Democrats to compare him with the Nazis.
“The newest line from Kamala and her campaign is that anyone who isn't voting for her is a Nazi,” he said at the capital city of Georgia.
Georgia is one of the seven key battleground states that could decisively swing the November 5 election in favour of either candidate.
“I am not a Nazi ... I am the opposite of a Nazi,” the former Republican President said.
Mr. Trump also slammed Harris for calling him a fascist. “She is a fascist.” Following Trump's Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden in New York, Harris's campaign team likened it to a 1939 Nazi gathering at the venue.
In that rally, Mr. Trump also announced a slew of major policies, including on tax.
