Washington:
White House rivals Donald Trump and Kamala Harris on Wednesday began a frenzied campaign campaign last week, but Democrats appeared to label Trump supporters “trash” against Joe Biden. He needed to distance himself from the president’s comments.
Harris visited North Carolina and then headed to Pennsylvania, refocusing her efforts on two of the seven battleground states that could determine who wins the closest election in modern U.S. history.
Republican Trump also visited North Carolina on Wednesday – the town of Rocky Mount, about an hour’s drive from Harris’ Raleigh rally, before heading to Wisconsin, where he was joined by US sports star Brett Favre and others. He is scheduled to appear.
President Trump is expected to reject the election results if he loses, and the Republican Party has already used isolated irregularities uncovered by election officials to amplify its claims of widespread “fraud.” I’m letting you do it.
Harris had hoped to soak up the aftermath of a speech attended by tens of thousands of people outside the White House on Wednesday, in which she warned that her rivals were unstable and itching to seek unrestricted power.
Rather, Mr. Biden’s apparent He was dodging questions about his gaffe. voters.
“The only garbage floating around out there is his I’m a supporter.”
“Let me be clear: I strongly oppose criticizing people based on who they vote for,” Biden’s vice president, Harris, said in a statement.
“Instability, obsession”
In Washington, Harris delivered a powerful closing argument speech in a symbolic atmosphere.
She incited a mob to storm the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a violent attempt by President Trump to remain in power despite his loss to Biden in the 2020 election. He spoke in the very place where he did it.
“This is a man who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, obsessed with grievances, obsessed with unbridled power,” Harris said.
But the vice president also offered an optimistic vision for America’s future, with the White House shining in the background.
“Each of you has the power to turn the page and begin writing the next chapter of the most extraordinary story ever told,” Harris told flag-waving supporters.
Allegation of “misconduct”
On Wednesday, President Trump repeated his claims of widespread voter fraud on social media, appearing to set the stage for a repeat of his baseless claims that the president’s 2020 loss to Biden was fraudulent.
He made similar remarks Tuesday night, accusing him of “cheating” on a “massive level we’ve never seen before” in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state. .
At a rally in Pennsylvania, President Trump also acknowledged responsibility for diminishing public trust in the U.S. news media.
“I’m very proud. I exposed them as fake. But with your help, a week from today, we’re going to defeat Kamala Harris and the media.”
President Trump also addressed the impact on Puerto Rico, saying, “No one loves the Latino community and the Puerto Rican community more than I do.”
He called Biden’s comments about his supporters “terrible” and cited them Wednesday in a new appeal for campaign contributions.
“My patriotic supporters are the best people in this country – I love you!” he said.
One person who won’t vote for Trump on Nov. 5 is actor and former Republican California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who supported Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz.
Inflation and the health of the U.S. economy have been key issues in this election, and new government data on Wednesday showed solid economic growth despite a slight slowdown.
