Showdown in Washington: Harris vs. Trump

In the final days of a heated electoral campaign, Donald Trump claims Democrats staged a 'coup' to push President Biden out of the race. Kamala Harris counters with plans to rally against him in Washington, emphasizing democracy and economic reforms. A Reuters poll shows a tight race.

Donald Trump, the Republican presidential contender, accused Democrats of orchestrating a 'coup' to prevent President Joe Biden from seeking reelection. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is set to hold a rally in Washington, spotlighting the violence from the Capitol riot by Trump's supporters.

Campaigning in Florida shortly before election day, Trump alleged Harris was unfit for presidency, citing her tenure's foreign wars and immigration surges. His remarks echo past claims of election fraud. Biden, previously under party pressure to withdraw, exited the race in July.

Harris' rally at the Ellipse aims to draw thousands, urging Americans to reject Trump's influence. However, her lead against Trump has diminished to a mere one percentage point, intensifying the stakes just days before the election, based on a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.
