New York, United States, Oct 23 (EFE).- United States Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris said Wednesday in a televised meeting with undecided voters that the country deserves a president with common sense.
She promised the voters of Pennsylvania – a disputed state that both parties need to win to assure victory – that she will be “a president for all Americans,” while calling her rival and former President Donald Trump a fascist and a danger to his country.
Personal attacks have been a recurring strategy, by both campaigns, in this final stretch of the presidential elections on Nov. 5.
In this meeting coordinated by CNN, in which the vice president answered questions of all kinds from the attendees, Harris accused the Republican magnate of being “unfit to serve.”
She also referred to reports that former chief of staff John Kelly said in a series of interviews that the former president spoke of Nazi generals’ loyalty to German dictator Adolf Hitler.
“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” she said.
He also said Trump admires dictators and criticized his relationship with leaders such as North Korea’s Kim Jong-un or Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
On the economy, one of the main concerns of voters, according to polls, the vice president said her tax plan will benefit middle-class families – and reiterated her humble origins.
She said she would not raise taxes on anyone who earns less than $400,000 a year, adding that the system that benefits the richest and does not help working middle-class Americans must be taken seriously.
In reference to the border with Mexico and immigration, the vice president said she wants a “comprehensive path to citizenship” to be included in an effort to solve “this problem,” as well as more border agents and personnel.
Harris also criticized Trump again for interfering in a bipartisan bill in congress that could have covered part of the border problems.
The Democrat did not answer whether she would be more pro-Israel than Trump, nor did she respond to a question about what she would do to ensure that no more Palestinians are killed by “bombs funded by American taxpayers’ money.”
Trump spent Wednesday campaigning in Georgia – a state he lost to Joe Biden in the 2020 election – where he campaigned at a community church in Zebulon and gave a speech to the Turning Point political action committee.
From Duluth, the Republican said that Harris “has no idea about economics, is not an intelligent person and is someone with a low IQ.”
Trump also attacked the Democratic vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz, by calling him a “sick guy.”
Governor Walz voted Wednesday in his home state of Minnesota, and Senator James Vance Trump’s running mate, campaigned in Nevada, another key state in these elections. EFE
