Election Day Nears As Early Voting Begins In Key Battleground States

Election Day is now just eight weeks away. In North Carolina, voters can cast their ballots as early as this week.

Both presidential nominees are off the trail Tuesday as their first debate is just a week away. But both campaigns are still fighting for every vote.

Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar headlined a bus tour on reproductive freedom for Vice President Kamala Harris in South Florida Tuesday, just 10 miles from former President Donald Trump’s home.

“Women turned away from emergency rooms, forced to the brink of death before receiving the care they need. And that’s what Donald Trump is so proud of,” said Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).

Voters in at least ten states, including Florida, have measures related to abortion on the ballot this fall.

“There are so many impacts that are hurting people who actually want kids,” said Harris supporter Angela Tripido from Florida.

Last week, Trump announced he’d make fertility services, like IVF, free for all Americans, but didn’t detail how the government would pay for the plan. Trump also confirmed he will vote to uphold Florida’s abortion ban.

“Nothing trumps God’s love, and God says it’s murder,” said a Trump supporter from Florida.

“The fight over reproductive rights is a major topic in this year’s presidential election. Both campaigns are expected to focus on that and other top issues, including immigration and the economy,” said Skyler Henry, CBS News, Washington, D.C.

Recent polls show a tight race in battleground states and nationwide.

Harris will take her message to voters in New Hampshire on Wednesday.

On social media, Trump criticized Democrats for stripping the state of its first-in-the-nation primary and encouraged voters in the Granite State to vote for him.

Trump’s new coffee table book, "Save America," is now available. The cover features the image captured following his assassination attempt in July. It’s already one of Amazon’s top-selling books.
