With the national nominating conventions behind them, Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris kick off the final sprint in the 2024 presidential race, making stops in key battleground states that could determine the election's outcome.
With the major party national nominating conventions now concluded, the 2024 race for the White House has entered its final sprint. Both Republican nominee Donald Trump and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, along with their running mates, will embark on a whirlwind of campaign stops across the crucial battleground states that will likely determine the outcome of the November election.
Former President Trump made a splash in Nevada on Friday, delivering a speech in Las Vegas after RFK Jr. suspended his campaign and endorsed him. Trump welcomed RFK Jr.'s support and praised his commitment to fighting for freedom and justice.

At the Democratic National Convention, Vice President Kamala Harris accepted her party's presidential nomination and vowed to "be a president for all Americans." She emphasized her commitment to addressing poverty, climate change, and gun violence.
All eyes will be on Harris to see if she fulfills her promise to grant a national news media interview in August. Her lack of major press conferences or interviews since becoming the Democratic nominee has drawn criticism from Trump and his allies.

The August fundraising figures for both the Trump and Harris campaigns will also be closely scrutinized. President Biden enjoyed a fundraising lead over Trump earlier this year, but Trump's numbers soared in the late spring and early summer. Harris then surpassed Trump in fundraising during July.
The first and possibly only presidential debate between Harris and Trump is scheduled for September 10 in Philadelphia. This high-stakes event could potentially shift the balance of the race.
