Donald Trump made the challenges at the border worse, and he is still fanning the flames of fear and division—all for his political gain.
In this election there is a clear choice between common sense solutions and the same old political games.

Vice President Kamala Harris holds a slight lead over former President Donald Trump in key battleground states, according to recent polls. In Michigan, Harris has 48 percent support among likely voters, while Trump follows closely at 47 percent. The race is similarly tight in Wisconsin, with Harris at 49 percent and Trump at 47 percent.
„Ms. Harris’s advantage from early August has been chiseled away slightly by Mr. Trump’s enduring strength on economic issues, the polls found, a troubling development for the VP given that the economy remains the most important issue driving voters.“ https://t.co/7VYhbcm4Qa

The polls, conducted from September 21 to 26, surveyed 680 voters in Wisconsin, 688 voters in Michigan, 687 voters in Ohio, and 680 voters in Nebraska’s Second District. The results highlight the competitive nature of the election, with Trump’s strength on economic issues remaining a significant factor for voters. Harris also holds an advantageous position in Nebraska’s Second Congressional District, where the lone electoral vote could prove crucial if she carries Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania while Trump captures the Sun Belt battlegrounds.
Today’s update.
Harris got a pair of strong polls in Nebraska 2, which is worth one electoral vote, making her 270-268 “Blue Wall” Electoral College path highly viable. Otherwise, not much change despite a high volume of new polling.https://t.co/vsGVG189Sa pic.twitter.com/T96KlIj0QP

Harris leads in key states
In Ohio, a state not considered a presidential battleground but featuring a competitive Senate race, Trump leads by six points. Meanwhile, Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown leads his Senate race by four points.
“The race is essentially tied in Michigan,” said Lily Boyce, a political analyst. “These polls reveal a tight contest, accentuated by Mr. Trump’s enduring strength on economic issues.”
Today's update.
Lotta polling and our model mostly likes it for Harris. Her national polling lead is up to 3 points, and decent polling for her in GA/NC, too.https://t.co/vsGVG189Sa
