Election 2024 live updates: Trump hits out at ‘fake’ Iowa poll after Harris makes surprise SNL appearance
Donald Trump has hit out at the Iowa poll which put opponent Kamala Harris ahead by three points.
Trump told a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, this morning that the poll was “fake” and he’s “not down in Iowa.”
The Republican won Iowa in his past two presidential campaigns by more than nine percentage points in 2016 and eight points in 2020.
The Des Moines Register poll observes that much of the shift to Harris from the former president comes from women and independents.
At the Pennsylvania rally, Trump referred to the Emerson College Polling which, by contrast, has him leading Harris by 10 points in the state.
Meanwhile, Harris made a surprise appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live alongside host John Mulaney and musical guest Chappell Roan.
The vice president, who was played on the 50th season of the comedy show by Maya Rudolph, flew to New York City on Saturday evening after a campaign event in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Harris is making several campaign stops in Michigan today, while Trump will hit Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia.
