Harris goes to church while Trump muses about reporters being shot

US Vice-President Kamala Harris told a Michigan church on Sunday that God offers America a “divine plan strong enough to heal division”, while Donald Trump gave a profane and conspiracy-laden speech in which he mused about reporters being shot and labelled Democrats as “demonic”.

The two major candidates took starkly different tones on the final Sunday of the campaign. Fewer than 48 hours before election day, Harris, the Democratic vice-president, argued that Tuesday’s election offers voters the chance to reject “chaos, fear and hate”, while Trump, the Republican former president, repeated claims about voter fraud to try to cast doubt on the integrity of the vote and suggested that the country was falling apart without him in office.

Harris said on Sunday that she had cast her vote, dispatching a mail-in ballot to her home state of California.

“I actually just filled out my mail-in ballot,” she told reporters, adding that the ballot was “on its way to California”.

Harris was concentrating her Sunday in Michigan, beginning the day with a few hundred parishioners at Detroit’s Greater Emmanuel Institutional Church of God in Christ. It marked the fourth consecutive Sunday that Harris, who is Baptist, has spoken to a black congregation, a reflection of how critical black voters are across multiple battleground states.
