Targeting young men through podcasts
1%P super close battle… In the fog of the situation
With the U.S. presidential election approaching on the 8th and showing signs of a historically close race, candidates from both parties launched a ‘last-minute spurt’. Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris has gone into enemy territory and is making a winning move by highlighting the right to abortion, which is an advantageous issue, while former Republican President Donald Trump appears to be focusing on building up his support base by making last-minute appeals to young men.
Vice President Harris began to break through the extremely tight situation by receiving support from former first lady Michelle Obama and pop star Beyoncé. In particular, he adopted a strategy of clearly emphasizing the issue of the right to abortion, where he had the upper hand. It is interpreted as an attempt to appeal to the votes of female voters in swing states.
On the 26th (local time), Vice President Harris said at a campaign rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan, a battleground state that she participated in with Michelle, “Our fight is a fight for the future, a fight for the fundamental freedom of women to make decisions about their own bodies.” “He emphasized. Michelle warned that women’s lives would be in danger if former President Trump returned to the White House, and appealed for support for Vice President Harris.
The day before, Vice President Harris visited Houston, Texas, which was almost like an ‘enemy camp’, and focused on the issue of the right to terminate pregnancy. Texas is considered a ‘red state’, a Republican stronghold in which the Democratic Party has never won a US presidential election in the past 48 years. Texas is also enforcing a very strict anti-abortion law that prohibits abortion under any circumstances. Beyoncé, who is from Houston, joined the campaign and gave a speech in support of Harris.
Former President Trump continued his strategy of emphasizing ‘America First’ and encouraging antipathy toward the Biden administration. Former President Trump visited Michigan on the 26th and confronted Vice President Harris head-on. At a rally held in the southeastern city of Novai, he said, “After leaving behind many years of helping other countries build states, establish borders and protect foreign lands, we must build our own country, take care of our people, protect our borders and fight illegal activities.” “It will make immigration illegal forever.”
The day before, former President Trump appeared on the world’s largest online podcast and was interviewed for over three hours. Referring to North Korean Chairman Kim Jong-un, he said, “We didn’t have any problems with him,” and “In my opinion, the internal enemy is a bigger problem.”
Politico, a U.S. political media outlet, assessed former President Trump’s appearance on a podcast so close to the presidential election as “an intention to secure the support of young male voters.” It is said that this is an effort to attract young male users to the voting booth by making a last-minute appeal on a podcast.
According to the results of a national opinion poll conducted by the New York Times and Siena College and announced today, Vice President Harris and former President Trump were tied with 48% approval ratings each. The battle of the competing states that will decide the winner or loser is also close within 1 percentage point. In Pennsylvania (19), which has the largest number of electoral votes among the competing states, the two candidates had the same approval rating at 48%. The same goes for Michigan and Nevada. Vice President Harris was ahead in Wisconsin, and former President Trump was ahead by 1 percentage point in North Carolina and Georgia.
The Washington Post said, “Neither Harris nor Trump can be certain of victory. “The most intense presidential election in modern history is entering its final feverish days,” he said, adding, “This is the first election where such close races are taking place in all major states even as election day approaches.”
