Detroit News editorial

The daily, which had called on Joe Biden to withdraw from the raceDonald Trump “looking particularly tired”chanting “speeches laced with occasional vulgarities” – he called the Democrats “demonic” and suggested he wouldn’t mind if journalists were shot to get at him – to a Kamala Harris “distinctly more optimistic”. One thing is certain, writes NYT on Monday’s front page: “Tired, confused and nervous: Americans flock to the polls”. Nearly 75 million voters have already cast their ballots in advance.

Proliferation of post-it notes

The Washington Posttells the story of proliferation of post-it notes in swing states on which “women leave messages for women to encourage them to vote their opinion and remind them that their vote is secret”. These slips of paper can be found on “the door of a barber shop in North Carolina”on “the women’s restroom mirror at an Ohio airport”or “on the back of a sanitary protection box in Arkansas”.… “The origins of this trend are unclear, but the co-founder of Women for Harris-Walz says her members have been sticking these notes in toilets for months.”reminds the daily, which is not endorsing any candidates this year.

Between two articles on the soccer game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, during which Kamala Harris’ campaign teams aired her latest big ad, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Wisconsin’s leading newspaperlooks back at Barack Obama’s words “to undecided voters” at the Baird Center in Milwaukee. “He portrayed Donald Trump as a billionaire running solely for his own benefit.” The former POTUS similarly castigated his successor on his economic program: “The Apprentice was a reality show. The truth is, Donald Trump received $400 million from his father… and yet, his companies have gone bankrupt six times.”

Arizona’s 2750 “super voters

The Arizona Republic goes to meet the “2750 super voters” of the state “who have voted in every election for three decades”.driven by “their civic duty.

It’s such a privilege to be able to do this.” Another, Carol Habra, who has been voting for more than 45 years, says. “that if you haven’t voted, you don’t have the right to say a word about what will be done later.”.

In Nevada, the Las Vegas Review-Journal the state’s largest daily newspaper, owned by the family of the late Sheldon Adelson, billionaire casino magnate and Republican Party donor, takes a look at the betting on the election: “Trump was a -123 favorite on Sunday on Betfair Exchange in London to win the election against Harris, an outsider at +120. Trump was a -210 favorite on Wednesday. Current odds mean punters need to bet $123 to win $100 on Trump’s election and $100 to win $120 on Harris’ election.”

“Trump should apologize”

In Michigan, the city’s conservative daily newspaper The Detroit News publishes a unequivocal editorial : “Trump should apologize to Cheney and the nation”. “As someone targeted by two assassination attempts, he should understand the danger of evoking images of gun violence.” and “[d’] attacking former Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney, now a fervent supporter of Kamala Harris”. A few days ago, Donald Trump suggested pointing guns at the daughter of George W. Bush’s vice-president.

“Trump has gone too far. He should make it clear that he wishes her no physical harm (…) If he wins the election, one of his first commitments should be to tone down the divisive and angry rhetoric that dominates our national discourse. A good place to start, even before Tuesday, would be for him to apologize to her.”continues the editorial. “We are also concerned about the Harris camp’s tendency to refer to Trump supporters as “fascists” and “Nazis,” which is also unnecessarily provocative.”the newspaper moderates.

The Raleigh News and Observer of North Carolina, makes its A on the abortion issue, “one of the reasons that motivates many voters” and how the state’s future governor, also elected on Tuesday, will position himself.

Broadly speaking, the Republican does not mention this subject in the twelve “important issues” of his campaign and does not intend to change the law that prohibits abortion, with exceptions, beyond twelve weeks of pregnancy. The Democrat, for his part, pledges not to sign “any bill that would further restrict abortion.”.
