These are two of the seven states that will most likely make the difference in the presidential election.
On Thursday, Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris held rallies in Arizona and Nevada, two key states for the November 5 presidential election.

Harris Lashes Out at Trump for Saying He Will Protect Women ‘Whether They Like It or Not’
Harris’s journey began in Arizona, where, accompanied by the Mexican band Los Tigres del Norte, she reiterated her commitment to fighting for the middle class with measures to reduce housing, medication, and food prices.
The vice president took this same message to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she was supported by the Mexican rock band Maná and Puerto Rican pop star Jennifer Lopez, who encouraged the Latino community to vote.
“Everyone here in Las Vegas, and everyone watching us across the United States, you have the power! Get out and vote!” said Maná’s drummer, Alejandro Gonzalez, while Lopez referenced her song “Let’s Get Loud” to motivate the Latino community to “make themselves heard” through their vote.
Harris also spoke about her commitment to ensuring abortion rights in the country, one of the central issues of her campaign, and accused Trump of not respecting “women’s freedom.”
“Yesterday, he said he would do whatever he wanted whether women liked it or not. He’s the same person who said that women should be punished for their decisions… We know that if he’s elected, he’ll ban abortion,” she added, promising that if elected, she would sign a law to protect women’s right to make decisions about their own bodies.
In Henderson, Nevada, Donald Trump continued his attacks on Harris, questioning her capability for the presidency and calling her a child. “She can’t handle the presidency; she would be overwhelmed, she’d collapse, and millions of people would die… Would you want to lose your job because Kamala has the economic understanding of a child?” the Republican candidate said.
Trump also spoke about lawyer and former presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy, saying that he would appoint him to work on women’s health issues and food supply matters. Kennedy has faced criticism for promoting conspiracy theories during the pandemic. The environmentalist politician first ran for president as a Democrat, then continued as an independent, and in August withdrew and endorsed Trump, though his name will still appear on ballots in some states.
The next U.S. President will most likely be decided by the votes of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
