In a recent speech, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump targeted his Democratic rival Kamala Harris with both personal and policy criticisms. Trump, aiming to regain momentum as his lead in polls dwindles, attacked Harris’s intellect and mocked her laugh, though he also addressed her policy record more directly.
Some Trump allies and donors have expressed concern over his focus on Harris’s personal attributes rather than her policies. They believe that criticizing her record would be more effective. Despite this, Trump continued to make personal jabs at Harris while outlining his own policy proposals, including plans to lower energy and electricity prices and support for increased drilling and pipeline permits.

Trump also criticized Harris’s stance on fracking, which he claims could harm her standing in swing states like Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, Harris is set to address economic issues in North Carolina, focusing on plans to lower costs for middle-class families and combat corporate price-gouging.
Trump’s campaign has been rattled by Harris’s rising popularity and the tightening of the race. While Trump maintains a narrow lead in North Carolina, Harris’s recent campaigning has made significant inroads, altering the competitive landscape.
