Former President Donald Trump attempted to reset his campaign at a rally in Pennsylvania as polls suggested Kamala Harris was gaining ground in key swing states. However, Trump quickly veered off script and launched personal attacks on Harris, calling her agenda both communist and fascist and criticizing her laugh. Despite his written speech focusing on economic policies, Trump attacked Harris for rising household costs and accused her of promoting socialism. He also challenged voters to compare their lives under his administration versus Biden’s.
During his rally, Trump rambled on various topics, going off script and making false statements. He received support from the audience, some wearing controversial T-shirts and chanting in his favor. Trump attacked Harris’s previous stance on fracking, but his comments on cutting spending on infrastructure may have hurt his standing in the Rust Belt. He also questioned Harris’s legitimacy as the Democratic candidate, suggesting a lack of a primary election.
Trump also made controversial comments regarding Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s Jewish background, accusing the Democrats of turning him down as Harris’s running mate due to antisemitism. He called for Jewish voters to reconsider their support for Democrats. Throughout the event, Trump continued his personal attacks on Harris, including critiques of her laughter. Despite attempts to refocus on policy issues, Trump’s remarks and digressions overshadowed his message.
