US Vice President and Democratic election candidate Kamala Harristhis Thursday described his Republican rival, Donald Trump“incapable and inept” for the position. When asked in a forum on CNN whether she considered Trump to be a fascist, the Democrat was blunt: “Yes, I do.”
Harris has reiterated that several people who worked in the Trump administration (2017-2021) “have called him unfit and dangerous”. “They have said, explicitly, that has contempt for the Constitution of the United States. “They have said that he should never serve as president again. We know that is why Mike Pence will not run with him again,” he said.
In her interview with voters on CNN, she was also asked if she believes Trump is anti-Semitic, to which Harris responded: “I believe that Donald Trump is a danger to the well-being and security of the United States”.
Besides, has highlighted that Trump “admires” dictators and has criticized his relationship with leaders such as the North Korean Kim Jong-un or the Russian Vladimir Putin.
Defining her opponent as an authoritarian is being a recurring strategy for the final stretch of Harris’ electoral campaign ahead of the elections on November 5.
Harris promises to be “a president for everyone” with “common sense”
Harris, in the final stretch of the electoral campaign ahead of the elections on November 5, has intensified her attacks on Trump, saying “he is not fit” to be president. Just today on Telemundo, during his only interview with a Spanish-language media, he described the Republican as “fascist to the core.”
On the contrary, the Democrat has said that she vows to be “a president for all Americans”in response to a voter question. “The vast majority of us have much more in common than what separates us. and I think that The American people deserve to have a president who is based on common sensenot in themselves,” he added.
In that sense, Harris has also promised to work together to pass important policy objectives such as housing and reproductive rights across the country.
“We have to overcome this era of politics and partisan politics, which slows down what we need to do in terms of progress in our country. And that means working together,” he said.
On his plan to ban price speculation
Vice President Kamala Harris reiterated this Wednesday that Food prices are “still too high” and that his proposal to prohibit price speculation would help in that regard.
“This is the first time we will have a national ban on price gouging, which is companies taking advantage of the desperation and need of the American consumer and raising prices without consequence or accountability,” Harris said.
The Democratic candidate learned about this proposal to prohibit price speculation last August. “My plan will include new sanctions for opportunistic companies that take advantage of crises and break the rules,” he said at a campaign event that month.
Some economists are not supporters of Harris’ plan. Gavin Roberts, chair of the economics department at Weber State University, previously told CNN that a ban on price gouging could have adverse effects.
Economy and immigration, the biggest concerns
About the economyone of the main concerns of voters, according to surveys, the vice president has indicated that her tax plan will benefit middle class families – and took the opportunity to reiterate her humble origins.
“I will not raise taxes on anyone who earns less than $400,000 a year, but we must take seriously the system that benefits the richest and does not help working middle-class Americans,” he said.
In reference to the border with Mexico and the migrationthe vice president has indicated that she wants a “comprehensive pathway to citizenship” to be included in an effort to solve “this problem,” as well as more border agents and personnel.
Harris has also criticized Trump again for interfering in a bipartisan bill in Congress that could have covered part of the border problems.
The Democrat has not answered whether she would be more pro-Israel than Trump, nor has she responded to a question about what she would do to ensure that more Palestinians do not die from “bombs funded by American taxpayer money.”
Trump: “Harris is someone with a low IQ”
Trump, for his part, spent Wednesday campaigning in Georgia – a state that he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 elections – where he visited a community church in Zebulon and gave a speech before the Turning Point political action committee. .
From Duluth, the Republican has said that Harris “has no idea about economics, is not an intelligent person and is someone with a low IQ.”
Trump has also attacked the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Tim Walzby calling it a “sick guy”.
“You can’t even say, ‘Well, let’s go to the vice president.’ Because he’s really sick, right? Remember he called JD Vance and me ‘weird’. We’re not weird,” he said.
