With just 5 days to go, Harris and Trump continue to battle for votes

Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump speaks during a campaign rally Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2024, at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wis. Associated Press

Democrat Kamala Harris says recent comments by her opponent, Republican Donald Trump, are “very offense” and that it's clear he doesn't understand women.

She was responding to Trump, who said Wednesday that he will protect women, “whether the women like it or not.” The subtext of both Trump's and Harris' comments appears to be a 2022 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that overturned federal abortion rights. Trump appointed three of the justices to the court who formed the conservative majority.

Harris said Thursday that Trump's comments are “offensive” to women and “their ability to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.”

Meanwhile, Trump is traveling to New Mexico and Virginia in the campaign’s final days. It’s a risky detour from the seven battleground states to spend time in places where Republican presidential candidates haven’t won in decades.
