The billionaire businessman Elon Musk will interview the Republican presidential candidate on Monday Donald Trump on the net social Xin an event that could inject more surprises into the turbulent US presidential election.
The interview, scheduled for 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (00:00 GMT on Tuesday), It could provide the former president with a chance to grab attention at a time when his campaign is perceived to be flagging.
Trump’s popularity had skyrocketed after the assassination attempt who suffered and it seemed that nothing would prevent him from returning victorious to the White House. However, the subsequent resignation of Joe Biden to the Democratic nomination and the launch of Kamala Harris made him regress in the polls.
The current vice president is ahead of the tycoon in three key states ahead of the November elections in the United States, according to new polls released on Saturday, apparently reversing the distance the former president had achieved there last year.
Polls of voting intentions conducted by The New York Times and Siena College showed the Democratic candidate leading Republican Trump by an identical margin of 50% to 46% in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Under the electoral college voting system in the United States, those three populous states in the Midwest are considered key to securing victory for either candidate from either party on November 5.
The data reverses polls in those states that for nearly a year had shown Trump tied or slightly ahead of US President Joe Biden, Democrat, who dropped out of the race last month and appointed Harris in his place.
Still, much could change in the nearly three months before the November election. The poll showed voters still preferred Trump on key issues of the economy and immigration, though Harris had a 24-point lead when asked who they trust on the case for legal abortion.
Democrats, however, are buoyed by the enthusiasm sparked by Harris’s fast-paced candidacy, with many expressing relief after Biden, 81, was forced to step aside amid mounting criticism following a poor performance in the first televised debate against former President Trump (2017-2021).
In a statement, the Republican candidate’s campaign team questioned the reliability of these polls, which he said were published “with the obvious intention and objective of reducing support for President Trump.”
