Trump, Harris polls show connections between key battleground states as candidates cross paths with each other

Vice President Kamala Harris responded to the former president for the first time Donald Trump’s comments about former Republican Liz Cheneyclaiming that his rhetoric against political opponents is becoming more and more brutal.

“It has to be disqualifying,” she told reporters after arriving in Wisconsin for a series of campaign events. “Anyone who wants to be president of the United States and uses this type of violent rhetoric is clearly disqualified and unqualified to be president.”

Harris said she had not spoken to Cheney since Trump attacked her during a live interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, but called her a “true patriot” who put her nation before her party.

“I know Liz Cheney well enough to know that she is tough, incredibly brave and has proven to be a true patriot during a very difficult time in our country,” Harris said.

The vice president accused Trump of turning Americans against each other and said he spends “a significant amount of time planning revenge” against political opponents.

“His list of enemies grew longer. “His rhetoric has become more extreme, and he is even less focused than before on the needs, concerns and challenges facing the American people,” Harris said.

She repeated her plan to “be the president of all Americans.”

“America deserves better than what Donald Trump is offering,” Harris said. “America deserves a president who understands our role and responsibility to our citizens and the rest of the world to be a role model.”

In addition to criticizing Trump for his comments about Cheney, Harris condemned her Republican opponent for saying at a rally in Nevada that if elected, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will serve in a second Trump administration to “work on women’s health and equality.” health.”

Harris said Kennedy “routinely promotes junk science and crazy conspiracy theories” and “is the last person in America who should be setting health care policy for American families and children.”
