As Election Day approaches, Americans are feeling significant stress over the divergent candidates and potential outcomes. Many voters are anxious about unrest that could follow the election results, fearing a deeper political divide. Various coping mechanisms are being employed, including religion, exercise, and disconnecting from media. Carley Kunkler, a fitness instructor, emphasizes the importance of spending time with loved ones and avoiding excessive screen time. Concerns are heightened by memories of the unrest after Trump’s 2020 defeat, with a recent poll revealing that a substantial portion of voters worry about potential violence from extremists unhappy with the results. Some individuals are actively working to support their candidates as a way to manage their anxiety. The sentiment across the political spectrum reflects a universal desire for resolution, with many simply wanting the election turmoil to end and expressing fears about what might happen next.
Donald Trump stumped for votes in the battleground state of Michigan, hitting his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris on immigration and Friday's jobs report. America’s employers added just 12,000 jobs in October, a total that economists say was held down by the effects of strikes and hurricanes that left many workers temporarily off payrolls. The report provided a somewhat blurry view of the job market at the end of a presidential race that has pivoted heavily on voters’ feelings about the economy. Referencing the report at a rally in Warren, Trump said Harris and President Joe Biden had "driven our economy off a cliff". "And if she gets four more years, your family's never, you are never going to recover," he said. Last month’s hiring gain was down significantly from the 223,000 jobs that were added in September. But economists have estimated that Hurricanes Helene and Milton, combined with strikes at Boeing and elsewhere, had the effect of pushing down net job growth by tens of thousands of jobs in October.
The White House is under scrutiny after altering the transcript of President Biden's remarks about Trump supporters, sparking backlash from federal stenographers. Biden’s statement, originally criticising "supporters" of Trump, was changed to target “supporter’s” comments, implying he was only criticising comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s remarks on Puerto Rico. The transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” which aides said pointed to Biden criticizing Hinchcliffe, not the millions of Americans who are supporting Trump for president. House Republicans are considering an investigation, citing concerns over transcript integrity and potential violation of the Presidential Records Act. Meanwhile, Vice President Harris distanced herself from Biden’s comments, advocating for political respect.
Former President Barack Obama campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris in Tucson, Arizona, on October 18, bolstering her efforts as they aim to mobilize Democratic voters in tight-margin states. Obama criticized Donald Trump's competence during the rally, referring to his lengthy speeches as "word salads." Meanwhile, Harris mocked Trump for avoiding debates, citing his "exhaustion." She reminded attendees that only 18 days remain until what she called one of the "most consequential elections of our lifetime." Recent polling indicates Harris' lead over Trump has shrunk from 7 to 3 percentage points, with both candidates vying for Michigan’s crucial 15 Electoral College votes.
