Trump returns to campaign trail after assassination scare

The duelling visits of Trump in Michigan and Harris in Pennsylvania come as both focus on the half-dozen swing states critical to winning in the country’s Electoral College system.
A new poll from Suffolk University and USA Today shows Harris with a slight 49-46 percent edge over Trump in Pennsylvania, thanks in large part to major support from women voters.
It confirms a large gender gap in the race, at least in Pennsylvania, with Harris leading with women by 56 percent to 39 percent, and Trump earning male votes by a slimmer 53-41 percent.
In appealing to women, Harris has pushed the issue of reproductive rights – a hot-button issue since the US Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn national abortion protections unleashed a wave of bans and restrictions in 22 states.
Harris spoke out Tuesday in condemnation of anti-abortion laws in Georgia after a woman there, 28-year-old Amber Nicole Thurman, reportedly died from delayed medical care caused by the state’s restrictive regulations.
