WASHINGTON (TNND) — This week, we've seen Kamala Harris flanked by Republicans and doing interviews on Fox News. We've also seen Donald Trump appealing to women and visiting historically blue states that experts believe he has no chance of winning.

Both candidates appear to be changing the playbook and campaigning outside the box in the weeks leading up to Election Day.

Joined onstage by a group of Republican supporters, Harris made the case that Trump is a "threat to American democracy."

"He, who violated the oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States. And make no mistake, he, who if given the chance, will violate it again," Harris said.

Experts say no election in history has been as close as this race. Around three weeks out in 2016, Hillary Clinton was leading Trump by 7 points and wound up losing. In 2020, Joe Biden was up by nine points and won.

This year, Harris leads by less than two points. Perhaps one reason why she also sat down with Bret Baier of Fox News for an interview.

"His plan would be again to give tax cuts to billionaires and blow up our deficit," Harris said of Trump's economic policy.

Meanwhile, Trump is spending plenty of time in battleground states but also holding rallies in places like New York and California.

"You know we call it common sense, we’re conservative, who the hell knows we may even be a little bit liberal," Trump said.

Trying to peel away traditional opposing party voters is key to part of Trump’s strategy as well.

"That includes the votes of key demographics to the Democrat party's electoral success. That includes Black voters, Hispanic voters, union workers, young people. These are demographics that the Democrats have long relied on and President Trump is cutting right into their base," Karoline Leavitt, Trump's presidential campaign national press secretary said.

Still, with the races virtually tied in nearly every battleground state, that is where the candidates will be spending the majority of their time. Harris is set to be in Atlanta, Georgia this weekend while Trump has events in Pennsylvania.
