Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are prioritizing swing states in their attempt to secure a win in a fiercely contested presidential campaign. Harris is focusing on North Carolina, aiming to gain ground with rallies in Charlotte and Greensboro, her first political engagement post-debate.

Meanwhile, Trump is shifting his campaign momentum to Tucson, Arizona, as he faces challenges in stabilizing his campaign after Harris overtook Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket. Despite Harris expressing willingness for another debate, Trump remains uncertain. The candidates' campaigns continue at full speed following the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Democrats haven't clinched North Carolina since Obama's victory in 2008, but with close polls and a diversifying population, they see potential. Harris's multiple visits and strong Democratic backing show a competitive race. On the other hand, Arizona remains a crucial battleground influenced by down-ballot races, where Trump and notable Republicans focus efforts amidst complex voter realignments.
