Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, brought her high-energy campaign to Arizona yesterday, delivering a scathing critique of opponent Donald Trump’s immigration policies and touting her own comprehensive reform plan.
The rally, attended by over 15,000 people, marked the latest stop in Harris’s whirlwind tour of battleground states, a stark contrast to Trump’s relatively light schedule.
With just three months until Election Day, Harris has been crisscrossing the country, holding multiple rallies and events daily, while Trump has held a mere five rallies since the Republican National Convention in mid-July.

This disparity has raised questions about Trump’s enthusiasm and commitment to campaigning, particularly compared to his vigorous efforts in 2016.
In Arizona, a crucial swing state that President Joe Biden won by a razor-thin margin in 2020, Harris seized on Trump’s vulnerabilities, lambasting his failure to deliver on immigration reform despite promises of a “big league” solution.
She cited a bipartisan proposal that Trump torpedoed earlier this year, vowing to sign the bill into law if elected president.
Harris also revisited the contentious issue of abortion, highlighting Arizona’s restrictive laws and Trump’s role in appointing justices who overturned Roe v. Wade.
Her message resonated with the crowd, as she pledged to protect reproductive rights and ensure access to safe and legal abortion.
Meanwhile, Trump held a solo rally in Montana, a state he is expected to win handily, but where a key Senate seat is up for grabs.
In a hastily convened press conference, Trump brushed off concerns about his schedule, claiming he was “leading by a lot” and allowing the Democratic National Convention to unfold without interference.
However, Harris’s surge in the polls has seemingly caught Trump off guard, prompting a series of attacks on her intelligence and competence.
Undeterred, Harris accepted Trump’s debate challenge, agreeing to face off on September 10, and continued her campaign momentum, with upcoming stops in Nevada and other critical states.
