The door to door fight for Trump and Harris

The US presidential election will be held in just over a month and only a handful of the 50 states really matter. Michigan is one of them and campaigners for the Democratic and Republican parties are going door-to-door to try and convince people their candidate would make the best president for them. President Joe Biden won the state by 154,000 votes in the last election, following Donald Trump’s slim win by 10,000 votes in 2016. Today, Foreign Correspondent reporter Stephanie March explains what makes voters there tick and why some are leaning towards Trump, even if they don’t like him. She hits the streets with supporters of Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, listening to the arguments that might sway crucial votes. Stephanie March highlights the Republicans’ efforts to win over African-American voters, leveraging figures like Kwame Kilpatrick, a former Democrat and convicted criminal whose sentence was commuted by Trump. She also explores the Democrats’ challenges in retaining support from traditionally loyal groups, such as the Arab-American community in Dearborn, due to tensions over continued support for Israel. March provides insights into the grassroots campaign strategies, including the Republicans’ unconventional approach of knocking on every door regardless of political affiliation. Featured: Stephanie March, Foreign Correspondent reporterKey Topics:US presidential election 2024Michigan swing stateJoe Biden 2020 electionDonald Trump 2016 electionKwame KilpatrickAfrican-American votersArab-American votersGrassroots campaign strategiesKamala Harris
