Kamala Harris is in attack mode. The closer November 5th gets, the harder she attacks her rival Donald Trump. And she knows his weak points.
The presidential candidate of the Democratic Party in the USA, Kamala Harris, has accused her Republican opponent Donald Trump of incompetence and favoring the upper class on economic issues. If it were up to Trump, “our economy works best when it works for those who own the big skyscrapers,” Harris said on Wednesday at a campaign event in Pittsburgh, in the US state of Pennsylvania.
During Trump’s time as US president, nearly 200,000 factory jobs were moved overseas, Harris said, making her competitor “one of the biggest failures of all time” when it comes to manufacturing.
“Not serious”: Kamala Harris criticizes Donald Trump’s tariff plans
Harris portrayed herself as a supporter of the middle class and vowed to show “a new way forward”, to stimulate investment in manufacturing and to cut taxes for families and small businesses.
In an interview with the left-leaning news channel MSNBC, Harris criticized Trump’s plans to impose high tariffs on imports into the US. “You don’t just throw around the idea of general tariffs,” the Democrat argued. “He’s just not very serious,” she added, referring to Trump.
It was Harris’ first solo interview as a presidential candidate. In August, she gave an interview with her vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz.

Elections in the USA: Candidates are in a close race
Harris was nominated as the Democratic Party’s candidate after US President Joe Biden withdrew his candidacy in July following massive doubts about his physical and mental fitness.
The Vice President and former President Trump are in a neck-and-neck race for the White House in the polls and are trying to reach undecided voters six weeks before the election – especially in so-called swing states. The outcome of the presidential election on November 5th will be decided in these states due to the peculiarities of the US electoral system.
