Now, with the U.S. presidential election just a month away, both Harris and Trump are in full swing in the fight to win centrist votes.

Harris, the Democratic nominee, visited the Republican birthplace and Trump was the first to speak out against the anti-abortion law.

This is Washington correspondent Kwon Jun-ki.

[Reporter]
Vice President Harris visited Lipon, Wisconsin, the birthplace of the Republican Party, and appealed for support from moderate conservatives.

[CAMALA HARRIS / VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES] We must stand up to those who jeopardize our great experiment. People from all parties should be together.]

Former Representative Liz Cheney, a symbol of anti-Trump forces in the Republican Party and the daughter of "orthodox conservative" Dick Cheney, also joined hands with Harris.

Trump, who denied the results of the presidential election and instigated the Capitol riot, stressed that he should not be back in power.

[Liz Cheney / Former Republican Congressman] Anyone who denies the results of the presidential election should never be allowed to take power again. We have to defeat Trump on November 5th.]

Former President Trump has been eager to visit Michigan, a northern rival state, to denounce Harris's incompetence.

[Donald Trump / Former President of the United States] Even though people were dying in hurricanes, they didn't get help from the federal government. If the liar Harris is in power for another four years, the United States will fall into a dark age, not a golden age.]

Following Trump's first statement on social media that he opposes the federal anti-abortion law,
Melania Trump, who did not express her political views like
, also publicly expressed her support for abortion rights.

It is interpreted as a move to attract female voters who are losing ground to Harris.

[Melania Trump / Mrs Trump: There is no room for compromise when it comes to the essential rights that every woman has since birth.]

In the meantime, a national poll conducted by The Economist showed Harris' lead within the margin of error with 48% of Harris and 45% of Trump.

However, a rival state poll was also announced at the same time that Trump won Michigan and Wisconsin, where Harris was leading.

With a neck-and-neck race and neck-and-neck approval ratings, both Harris and Trump decide a day or two before when and where to campaign.
