Harris, Trump Hold Competing Rallies in Texas

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to rally in Houston on Friday, joined by Texas natives Beyoncé and Willie Nelson, to focus on women's health issues, particularly the state's strict abortion laws. This event comes as early voting begins in Texas, where both Harris and former President Donald Trump are campaigning, signaling a tightening presidential race. Trump's events will include a rally in Houston and an appearance on Joe Rogan's podcast in Austin, while U.S. Rep. Colin Allred is also campaigning with Harris, highlighting the competitive Senate race against Sen. Ted Cruz. Political analysts note that while Harris aims to engage voters, her chances of winning Texas in the presidential election remain slim, though the Senate race could be more competitive. With just days until Election Day, both parties are mobilizing efforts to encourage voter turnout in what is being described as a 'coin toss election'. The significance of celebrity appearances is expected to draw media attention and invigorate voter interest.
