The tension between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is on the rise. The vice president accused the Republican of dragging the country into “a dark past“and he considered that the Democrats ousted Joe Biden and she was left in his place, “lunatic” and “liar”.
The Republicans’ Program “It is a plan to return to USA to a dark past”, Harris told the American Federation of Teachers meeting in Houston, Texas.
“Donald Trump and their extremist allies want to take our nation back to failed economic policies, to fighting unions, to a return to tax breaks for billionaires” added the Democratic candidate, who is expected to be officially nominated at the party convention in August.
The 59-year-old former senator and former prosecutor defended the unions, which “helped build the American middle class.”
Democrats, he said, want education and health care for all and defend gun control and the right to abortion.
Hispanic Support
“We want to ban assault weapons and they want to ban books”“, he said. Harris published her first campaign video on Thursday, in which she claims “freedom”.
The soundtrack includes the song “Freedom” (Freedom) from Beyoncé, who is not very keen on lending her music. And she added another important support, that of the union activist, feminist and environmentalist Dolores Huerta, very influential among Hispanic voters.
“Donald Trump represents a grave danger to the causes I have fought for my entire life. But Kamala Harris believes, as I do, that America is only as great as the opportunities we create and the freedoms we provide – for each and every American,” Huerta said in a statement.
This adds to a long list of Latino groups and congressmen who are supporting the vice president.
Donald Trump, very fond of giving nicknames, calls her ““Kamala the liar.”
Speaking to Fox News, he claimed that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama conspired behind the scenes against Biden and “they threw him out”.
They seemed nice on TV supporting Biden, he said, “But behind the scenes (…) they were brutal” with the. “They were trying to carry out a coup d’état,” Donald Trump estimated.
President Biden explained to his compatriots on Wednesday that he had resigned on Sunday from running for a second term due to “the defense of democracya” and to give way to “young voices”after weeks of pressure from Democrats over doubts about his physical condition and mental agility.
A speech “barely understandable and so bad”, Trump judged on his Truth Social network.
“Cat women”
The 78-year-old Republican is now focusing his attacks on Harris, saying she is “worse” Biden. On Wednesday night, in an anti-abortion tirade at a rally in North Carolina, he even accused her of advocating the “execution of babies.”
His running mate, JD Vance, was criticized on Thursday by actress Jennifer Aniston for talking about “childless, lonely, unhappy cat ladies,” referring to Kamala Harris not having children.
The Friends actress, who has publicly admitted to having gone through an ordeal trying to get pregnant, responded on Instagram.
“I really can’t believe this is coming from a potential vice president of the United States,” he said.
“Tsarina of the Border”
Several Republicans, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, this week called on party members to focus on Kamala Harris’s political career rather than her gender or skin color, US media reported.
In the House of Representatives, Republicans approved a resolution on Thursday, with six Democrats voting in favor, in which they criticize Kamala Harris’s work as head of the fight against illegal immigration.
It is the “tsarina of the border”they call Harris in this symbolic text, without repercussions on immigration policy. In a new New York Times/Siena College poll, Trump and Harris are tied in voting intention.
