Kamala Harris’ campaign is taking a page out of Donald Trump’s playbook by using personal attacks against the former president. With fresh accusations of fascism from ex-Trump team members like John F. Kelly, Harris has labeled Trump as “unhinged” and “dangerous.” Trump, on the other hand, continues to insult Harris, resorting to racist remarks. The election is turning into a mudslinging match with less than two weeks to go.
Trump has been accused of using authoritarian language and trying to overturn the 2020 election results. Former allies like Mike Pence have distanced themselves, with Kelly and Mark Milley calling Trump a fascist. Harris has openly criticized Trump, stating that he desires unchecked power.
However, Trump has retaliated with personal attacks, targeting Harris’ intelligence and work ethic. With key issues sidelined, the focus has shifted to character assassination as Election Day approaches.
The battle for the presidency has devolved into a spectacle of insults and accusations, overshadowing important policy discussions. As voters weigh their options, the rhetoric continues to spiral out of control.
