At his first rally since President Biden announced he would not seek reelection, former President Trump launched a barrage of attacks on Vice President Harris, who is now the likely Democratic nominee.

Speaking in North Carolina, Trump criticized Harris on immigration and inflation, labeling her a “radical-left lunatic” and “the most incompetent and far-left vice president in American history.”

He mispronounced her name, accused her of being unfit to lead, and mocked her record as a prosecutor compared to his own legal issues.

Trump also highlighted her support for policies like Sanders’s “Medicare for All” and banning fracking, calling her “crazy” and “unhinged,” The Hill has reported.

In response, a Harris campaign spokesperson dismissed Trump’s speech as “unhinged, weird, and rambling,” emphasizing that the upcoming choice would be between Trump’s controversial agenda and Harris’s commitment to protecting freedom.

Polls since Biden’s withdrawal show a close race between Trump and Harris, with a Marist poll indicating Trump at 46% and Harris at 45%, with about 9% undecided.
