Election Day 2024: Harris FOX interview, Trump in NYC, polls

NEW YORK – With Election Day 2024 less than three weeks away, both candidates are facing criticism over immigration, abortion and how their presidency will differ from that of President Joe Biden.

In her first appearance on FOX News on Wednesday, Vice President Kamala Harris joined host Bret Baier in a nearly 30-minute, tense interview in which he asked her about immigration and changing political positions.

At one point she said, “My presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency.”

Meanwhile, former President Trump was pressed on climate change, immigration and abortion rights at a Wednesday night town hall in Miami attended by 100 Latino voters on Univision.

At halftime, host Ramiro Gonzalez, a self-described Republican, told the former president, “I want to give you the opportunity to try to get my vote back,” and expressed concern about his handling of Jan. 6 and the coronavirus pandemic .

Trump insisted that the Jan. 6 crowd “came not for me, but for the election,” and said, “Maybe we’ll get your vote; It sounds like I might not do that either, but that’s okay too.”
