In his first campaign rally since President Biden dropped out of the race, former President Trump wasted no time attacking Vice President Kamala Harris, his presumed opponent. Trump labeled Harris as "lying Kamala Harris" and the "most incompetent and far-left vice president in American history."
Former President Trump launched a barrage of attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, his presumed Democratic opponent, in his first campaign rally since President Biden withdrew from the race. With 100 days remaining until Election Day 2024, the political landscape has undergone a significant shift with Harris now at the helm of the Democratic Party.
Trump, in a rally held in the crucial swing state of North Carolina, repeatedly targeted Harris, accusing her of being "the ultra-liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe" and a "radical left lunatic who will destroy our country if she ever gets the chance to get into office."

Trump's attacks focused on border security and crime, two key issues in the 2024 election. He painted Harris as "more liberal than Bernie Sanders," emphasizing her leftist stance.
Harris, in response, has highlighted her law enforcement experience, contrasting it with Trump's numerous legal controversies and convictions. "I know Donald Trump's type," she declared, pointing to his ongoing lawsuits and criminal cases.
