Topics
Franco Ordoñez: 本周末，哈里斯副总统的竞选活动基调积极乐观，试图与特朗普的负面信息形成对比。她在密歇根州、北卡罗来纳州和纽约州举行了集会，并在周六夜现场露面。她的信息重点关注团结和希望，避免直接点名特朗普。而特朗普则马不停蹄地举行集会，攻击政治对手，并重申虚假的选民舞弊指控。他访问了宾夕法尼亚州和北卡罗来纳州等关键摇摆州，显示出他对这些州的重视。 Asma Khalid: 哈里斯和特朗普都在宾夕法尼亚州的关键城市Reading举行竞选活动，凸显了该州的重要性。哈里斯的竞选活动似乎在宾夕法尼亚州的拉丁裔选民中取得了进展，而特朗普则面临着来自该州部分拉丁裔选民的不满。哈里斯在费城艺术博物馆的著名洛基阶梯上举行音乐会，象征着其竞选活动中“弱势者”的定位。特朗普则选择在格林德拉皮兹结束他的竞选活动，这与他在2020年的做法相似。 Joel Rose: 波音公司和工会就新的合同协议进行了谈判，工会领导人最终支持了该提议，但罢工的未来仍存在不确定性。该提议包括38%的加薪，但养老金福利问题仍然是一个主要障碍。罢工对波音公司及其相关产业造成了严重的经济影响，数万人因此失业。投票结果预计在当天晚些时候或第二天早上公布。
