This weekend, the presidential candidates will make their final appeal to voters

WASHINGTON (Gray DC) – Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump race from swing state to swing state during the final weekend of the presidential election season.

Former President Donald Trump is holding a series of rallies on Saturday and Sunday in several battleground states, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Georgia. He also stops in a state that will largely be won by Vice President Harris: Virginia.

But ahead of the weekend, Trump faced heavy backlash for comments he made on Thursday during the campaign about former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY).

“He’s a radical war hawk,” Trump said. “Let’s put her with a rifle standing there and shooting nine barrels at her, OK? Let’s see what she thinks about it, you know, with guns pointed at her face.

Vice President Harris responded to the comments on Friday, calling them brutal rhetoric.

“This must disqualify anyone who wants to be president of the United States, and anyone who uses this type of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president,” she said.

Harris is also spending the weekend crisscrossing the swing states of North Carolina, Georgia and Michigan.

Both candidates plan to hold events in Pennsylvania on Monday, the final day of the campaign. Supporters of both Harris and Trump are knocking on doors there, trying to win over remaining undecided voters, including Jeremy Delgado. He is a Harris supporter who decided to canvass in a swing state after the former president’s rally at Madison Square Garden, when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “garbage island.”

“He just pissed off a bunch of people that…some of them were arguing. And I have to tell you that I’m knocking on the door. And people told me, hey, I was going to vote for Trump, but after Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments, I’m not voting,” Delgado said.
