Donald Trump has worked tirelessly to win the support of male voters, and while his efforts appear to be effective in some ways, they may have come at the expense of female support. According to a USA Today/Suffolk University poll, President Trump defeated Kamala Harris among men, 53% to 37%, and among women, the Democratic candidate won 53% to 36%.
But despite polls showing that the gender gap among voters has widened to historic levels, Harris said she doesn’t think her rallies are demonstrating the phenomenon. He said no. “What I’m seeing is men and women equally speaking out about their concerns about the future of our democracy.”
Harris and her Republican challenger attended rallies across battleground states that day. With just days left until the election, a Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll finds the 2024 presidential election is still too close to call.
Here’s what else happened Thursday.

Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama appeared alongside Harris at a star-studded campaign event in Clarkston, Georgia. The event marked the beginning of a series of battleground state concerts by the Democratic camp. Actor Samuel L. Jackson, director Spike Lee, Sens. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, and actor Tyler Perry also spoke at the rally.
According to the Harris campaign, approximately 20,000 people will attend the event in Georgia, making it the Harris campaign’s largest political rally ever. Bruce Springsteen has warned that President Trump could become a “tyrant” and urged voters to support Harris in the presidential election. Early voting totals in Georgia are breaking records, with about 30% of eligible voters already having cast their votes.
Beyoncé will reportedly attend Harris’ rally in Houston on Friday, continuing the celebrity pile-up. Harris has held rallies in Texas, a Republican stronghold, to emphasize abortion rights and support Democratic Sen. Colin Allred, who is trailing Republican Ted Cruz in polls. .
Harris received the support of two Republicans. One was a former congressman from Michigan, and the other was the mayor of an important county in Wisconsin. Former Congressman Fred Upton said President Trump was “absolutely upset,” adding, “We don’t need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that’s why I’m where I am.”

President Trump has said that if he is re-elected, he will order the immediate firing of Special Counsel Jack Smith with a clear intention to end the two criminal cases brought against him. Although the power to dismiss the special counsel officially rests with the attorney general, President Trump has made no secret of his intention to appoint someone faithful to the role.
Trump, campaigning in the border battleground state of Arizona, called the country a “trash” because of immigration policies under the Biden administration.

President Trump later attended another rally in Nevada hosted by the conservative group Turning Point Action. Thousands of supporters gathered at the United for Change event in Las Vegas. The group, founded by conservative provocateur Charlie Kirk to engage young conservatives, is working to get voters to vote on Trump’s behalf.
