What: AFP
US presidential candidate Kamala Harris sees her Republican opponent in the race for president, former President Donald Trump, as a fascist. The Democrat made this clear during a public consultation on the US broadcaster CNN on Wednesday evening. Moderator Anderson Cooper asked the 60-year-old: “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” Harris replied without hesitation:
Yes, I do.

Kamala Harris
Trump is “increasingly unstable” and “unfit for office,” Harris said. Former employees of the ex-president and close confidants have expressly pointed out that Trump despises the Constitution of the United States and should never hold the office of President of the United States again, Harris said.
In less than two weeks, Americans will have the choice between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. According to polls, it will probably be a close race.10/23/2024 | 1:48 minThe question was triggered by statements made by Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly. He told the New York Times that, in his view, Trump “falls under the general definition of a fascist.” He referred to the description of fascism as an extreme right-wing, authoritarian and ultranationalist ideology, in which, among other things, there is a dictatorial leader and a suppression of the opposition.
Harris: “Emergency call to the American people”
Harris said former chief of staff Kelly had made an “emergency call to the American people” with his statements about Trump about what could happen if he moved back into the White House. The people who could “hold Trump back” are no longer there.
I believe Donald Trump is a threat to the well-being and security of America.

Kamala Harris
Trump only laughed at it. “Harris realizes that she is losing, by a lot (…),” wrote the 78-year-old on the online platform Truth Social.
That’s why she’s now increasingly sharpening her rhetoric.

Donald Trump
She goes so far as to call him Adolf Hitler. Harris is herself “a threat to democracy and unfit to be president of the United States,” Trump wrote.
Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris has been Vice President of the United States since 2021. She ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, but withdrew from the race before the primaries. Winner Joe Biden then nominated her as his deputy. In this role, however, she was hardly able to score points politically. In recent years, she has been a leading voice in the fight for abortion rights and against gun violence.
Donald Trump
Donald Trump was US President from 2017 to 2021, but lost the election in 2020 to the current incumbent Joe Biden. This time the Republican is running alongside Senator JD Vance. At the end of May, a jury found Donald Trump guilty of all charges in the hush money trial – further criminal proceedings are ongoing, including for the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He was injured in the ear in an attack in mid-July at a campaign event in Pennsylvania . He is running again with the promise of “America first”.Hopes, expectations, fears – A divided America before the US elections.

Fracking, migration, abortion
At the same time, Harris tried to score points with undecided voters by addressing the issues that many Americans have more confidence in Trump to address. She made it clear:
I will never allow America to have an insecure border.
„
Kamala Harris
Harris avoided the question of whether she wanted to build a wall on the border with Mexico like Trump: “I want to strengthen our border.”
Harris also assured that she would not ban the controversial natural gas extraction through fracking – contrary to Trump’s claims. Fracking is an important economic factor, particularly in the hotly contested swing state of Pennsylvania. Harris also signaled that she might support changing the voting rules in the US Senate to enshrine abortion rights in law.In an interview with the TV channel Fox News, the Democratic US presidential candidate Kamala Harris took a clear position.
