With less than a week to go in the US presidential election race, Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are making their final pitches to voters.
The Democratic presidential nominee has hit back at her Republican rival after he vowed to “protect” women “whether the women like it or not” at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Wednesday.
“Donald Trump thinks he should get to make decisions about what you do with your body. Whether you like it or not,” Harris posted on X.
In a bizarre stunt prior to his speech, Trump had posed in a garbage truck dressed as a sanitation worker in an attempt to troll Harris and Joe Biden after the latter allegedly called MAGA voters “garbage” in anger over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s already-notorious Madison Square Garden joke about Puerto Rico.
The publicity gimmick was not entirely a success, with Trump struggling to climb into the waste collection vehicle’s cab, looking ridiculous in a high-visibility vest and spending time circling the airport tarmac to no obvious end.
The latest swing state polling meanwhile puts Harris narrowly ahead in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Mike Johnson denies saying what he was caught on camera saying
“They” are always “taking things out of context” aren’t they?
I think this reading from Harris’s spokesperson is a lot closer to the truth.
But you can judge for yourself about the House Speaker’s comments on “taking a blowtorch” to the Affordable Care Act by checking the tape below.
In the same interview with Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo this morning, Johnson also insists that this time there really will be a “red wave” on Election Day, which emphatically did not materialise during the 2022 midterms, despite much hype.
