In his first public campaign event since President Biden's withdrawal, former President Trump launched a barrage of attacks against his presumed opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling her as "more left than Bernie Sanders."
Former President Donald Trump has made his first public campaign appearance since President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race, unleashing a barrage of attacks against his presumed opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris. In a rally held in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump claimed that Harris is "more left than Bernie Sanders," a progressive Senator from Vermont. This accusation is based on Harris' support for policies such as universal healthcare, a higher minimum wage, and stricter environmental regulations.
Trump's remarks come amidst a transformed political landscape, with Biden's departure potentially shaking up the Democratic primary race. Some analysts believe that Harris could emerge as a formidable opponent for Trump, given her experience as a prosecutor and former Senator. However, Trump sought to undermine her credentials, claiming that she is "unqualified" and "out of her depth" in the role of Vice President.

In addition to his attacks on Harris's political ideology, Trump also criticized her record on border security. He accused her of being "soft on crime" and responsible for the surge in illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border. Harris has been a vocal advocate for immigration reform, including a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
The rally was attended by dozens of Trump supporters, who greeted him with enthusiasm. However, the event was marred by a towing controversy. Several Trump supporters reported that their vehicles had been towed from the parking lot of a nearby Dunkin' Donuts, where they had reportedly been given permission to park.

The Secret Service has reportedly recommended that Trump refrain from holding outdoor rallies in the wake of an assassination attempt against him. Nonetheless, Trump defied this recommendation, holding the rally in a large indoor arena.
The towing incident raised questions about the management of the event and the effectiveness of the security arrangements. Despite these setbacks, Trump's appearance signaled his determination to return to the campaign trail and reclaim his position as the Republican frontrunner.
