US Vice President Kamala Harris stated on Saturday that her newly launched presidential campaign would triumph over the “wild lies” of her Republican opponent, despite acknowledging the difficult road ahead to defeat Donald Trump in November.
While Trump was getting ready to speak at a bitcoin conference in Tennessee, Harris was in Massachusetts giving a speech at a fundraising event that featured famous attendees such as cellist Yoyo Ma and singer-songwriter James Taylor.
“We are the underdogs in this race, but this is a people-powered campaign,” she declared to the attendees of the $1.4 million event, according to her campaign.
“You may have noticed, Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my record. And some of what he and his running mate are saying, well, it’s just plain weird,” she remarked, using the most recent term used by Democrats to characterize the criticisms of the Republicans.
The most recent of them was Trump’s statement made on Friday night at a religious gathering, in which he called Harris an anti-Semite who wants to permit the killing of infants.
“She doesn’t like Jewish people. She doesn’t like Israel. That’s the way it is,” he commented on the Vice President’s husband who is Jewish.
He asserted that Harris sought to codify in federal law the authority to “rip the baby out of the womb in the eighth, ninth month and even after birth — execute the baby after birth,” which was maybe his most ridiculous assertion of the evening.
As the oldest major-party nominee in history at 78 years old, Trump is frantically trying to turn the race around and run against a candidate two decades his junior. He had anticipated taking on an 81-year-old incumbent Joe Biden, who is plagued by health issues.
In an attempt to become the first female president in US history, Harris must quickly put up a campaign against a rival who has been in almost constant reelection mode since taking office in 2016.
Her belated presidential campaign has gotten a lot of support thus far. Surveys that once showed Biden losing ground to Trump are now showing Harris in a race that is too close to call.
Prominent Democrats, such as Joe Biden and, most recently, Barack and Michelle Obama, have endorsed her.
When Harris arrived at the airport in Westfield, Massachusetts on Saturday afternoon, Torianna Parrish, 34, was among the people who greeted her.
“I wanted to show there’s power in numbers. I wanted to show my support,” she said. “We’re rooting for her and we want to see her make this country what it needs to be.”
