In Charlotte, North Carolina, Kamala Harris declared that Trump is not someone who is thinking about how to improve the lives of Americans, but rather he is a person “increasingly unstable, obsessed with revenge and consumed by grievance.”

He also pledged to support small businesses and have Medicare (the US social security coverage program) cover the cost of home health care for seniors.

North Carolina backed Trump in 2020 by a narrow margin of less than 1.5 percentage points, but elected a Democratic governor on the same day, giving hope to both parties.
Before a crowd of unconditional followers, Trump hardened his rhetoric to the extreme, especially his anti-immigrant rhetoric. and said that if Harris wins “every town in the United States will become a sordid and dangerous refugee camp.”
“The United States is now an occupied country” by migrants, he said this Saturday in Gastonia, and He stressed that if he wins he will launch “the largest deportation program in the history” of the country.
He warned that “Liberation Day in the United States” will be this November 5th. “It will be liberation on the first day. I will launch the largest deportation program in American history. I will rescue every city and town that has been invaded and conquered. These cities have been invaded and conquered in the same way as a military invasion, except that they do not wear uniforms,” stressed the New York businessman.

Trump later addressed Salem, Virginiawhich is not considered a battleground state, but offered a similar message, telling supporters that there is no way it can lose and that it is on the cusp of “the biggest political victory in the country’s history.”
Trump claimed that he would win not only the Electoral College count, but the majority of votes cast nationwide, something he failed to achieve in his two previous attempts. “We are going to win the popular vote,” he told the crowd. “I think we have a good chance of winning the popular vote.”
Many Americans fear that, in the event of defeat, Trump will refuse to accept the result. The Republican campaign team has already begun to promote the idea on social networks that there are irregularities in voting operations.
