Washington (EFE).- After music icon Taylor Swift said she would vote for Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election five days ago, Republican candidate and former President Donald Trump said Sunday that he hates the most successful American singer of the moment.
With a live “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” in capital letters and exclamations, Trump vented his anger on his social network Truth Social against the multi-award-winning artist, the most listened to in recent years internationally on platforms such as Spotify.
“Single lady with cats”
On Tuesday, shortly after the debate between the two main candidates for the US presidency, former Republican President Trump and current Vice President, Democrat Kamala Harris, concluded, Swift published a lengthy post on Instagram in which she told her 283 million followers that she will vote for Harris in the November 5 election.
Swift posed with a photo of her cat Benjamin and signed her post “single lady with cats,” a reference to Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, who criticized Harris and childless women by calling them that name.
In an interview on Fox News on Wednesday, Trump described Swift as a “very liberal person” and said she would “probably pay a price for that in the marketplace.”
On Wednesday, Swift achieved a new milestone by equaling Beyoncé’s record of 30 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), having won seven of them.
Taking to the stage, the singer, songwriter and director of ‘Fortnight’, a song on which she shares credits with Post Malone and which won in the category of video of the year at the VMAs, spoke of “the happiness, the fun and the magic” that her boyfriend, American football player Travis Kelce, brings to her, and encouraged her fans over 18 years old “to register and vote for something else,” in reference to the elections.CategoriesWorld , Other news AmericaTagsUSA , Elections , Trump
Washington (EFE).- Neither the debate held last week, in which Democratic candidate Kamala Harris showed a better performance, according to polls, nor the support given to her by music icon Taylor Swift have made the vice president take off against Republican candidate and former president Donald Trump , according to the latest poll published this Sunday by ABC News/Ipsos.
Thus, while before the debate Harris was leading Trump by four points according to this poll (50% versus 46%), after the debate held in Philadelphia last Tuesday Harris is ahead by five points (51% versus 46%), with a slight change of one point.
13%, on the other hand, say it makes them less likely to support it, and 81% say it makes no difference.
According to the ABC News/Ipsos poll, 58% of Americans say Harris won the debate (36%, Trump), a shift from the Biden-Trump showdown in June, in which the former president was seen as the winner by 66% of voters.
The president’s disastrous performance in this debate ended up being the main reason he dropped out of the race for the White House and handed the baton to Harris.
The poll of 3,276 adults found a slight drop in the share of Trump supporters who strongly back him: 56%, down from 60% in late August. Meanwhile, 62% of Harris supporters say they strongly back her.
Trump’s advantage
However, Trump has an advantage on another indicator: while 42% call him too conservative, 47% call Harris too liberal, one of the main arguments the Republican campaign is using against the Democrat.
With 51 days to go until Americans go to the polls on November 5, national polls continue to give Harris the lead. According to the FiveThirtyEight website, which averages the polls, Harris leads Trump by 48% to 45.4%.

However, since in the United States the election is not held directly but through the 538 electors, which are divided proportionally among the 50 states of the country (plus the District of Columbia), the key to these elections will continue to be in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Georgia or Wisconsin, where the difference is minimal.
Los Ángeles (EE.UU.), (EFE).- El candidato republicano y exmandatario estadounidense y Donald Trump (2017-2021) aseguró este viernes que de ser elegido como presidente su plan de llevar a cabo la “mayor deportación (de inmigrantes) de la historia del país” comenzará en Springfield (Ohio) con destino a Venezuela.
“Esto es lo que puede decir: haremos deportaciones en masa desde Springfield. Vamos a sacar a esa gente. La vamos a llevar de vuelta a Venezuela”, espetó en una rueda de prensa ofrecida en su club de golf en Palos Verdes, California.
En su opinión, los “hatianos ilegales” están destruyendo el modo de vida de los habitantes de esa zona. El magnate neoyorquino lleva días expandiendo el bulo de que los haitianos se comen en Springfield a los gatos y a los perros de los ciudadanos del lugar.
Esas acusaciones han provocado que la comunidad haitiana se vea señalada, recibiendo incluso amenazas de bombas que han obligado al cierre de escuelas en los últimos dos días y de otras instalaciones oficiales. El propio presidente, Joe Biden, pidió este viernes que cesara esa retórica.

El exmandatario usó gran parte de su conferencia de prensa para criticar además a su contrincante el 5 de noviembre, la vicepresidenta y aspirante demócrata, Kamala Harris, acusándola de nuevo sin pruebas de facilitar la “mayor ola de tráfico sexual y trata de personas de la historia” con sus políticas en la frontera con México.
Trump consideró a Harris responsable del deterioro de la ley y el orden en California a través de sus políticas como fiscal general en ese estado (2011-2017) y como senadora del mismo (2017-2021).
Primer debate Harris – Trump
Los dos candidatos se enfrentaron el martes en su primer debate electoral. El exmandatario, quien mostró entonces una actitud defensiva e irascible, reiteró este viernes que no está interesado en participar en otro con Harris y tachó de “lunáticos” a la demócrata y a los periodistas que moderaron el encuentro organizado por la cadena ABC.
“El debate fue genial, creo que lo hice muy bien, pero estaba luchando contra tres personas. Estaba luchando contra los locos radicales de izquierda de la ABC, en mi opinión los peores locutores que hay”, mencionó.
Su encuentro de este viernes con la prensa se dio un día después de que llevara a cabo un acto de recaudación de fondos en Los Ángeles, ciudad que se considera por algunos expertos como el “cajero” de los partidos políticos por las altas sumas de dinero que logran recaudar en dicha ciudad para su campañas.
El jueves, el candidato republicano tuvo un mitin en Tucson, Arizona, uno de los estados clave para las presidenciales, y ahí propuso eliminar los impuestos a las horas extra para incentivar el empleo.

La propuesta surge en un intento de ganar el voto de los trabajadores y se suma a otra anterior en la que planteaba eliminar los impuestos a las propinas en el sector servicios, una iniciativa que Harris formuló después, y tras lo que fue acusada de plagio por los republicanos.
