The candidates, their movements and their rallies embody two very different identities, setting up a stark contrast for voters.

Donald Trump walks onstage to the 1984 Lee Greenwood song “God Bless the USA,” cheered on by a roaring crowd that skews older and White.

“We will make America great again!” he promises.

Kamala Harris walks out to Beyoncé’s 2016 hit “Freedom” and leans into internet memes — addressing more racially diverse audiences dotted with chartreuse shirts and pins that pay homage to a 2024 pop album called “Brat.”

“We are not going back,” she says.
