Former President Donald Trump intensified his personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris during a press conference at his Bedminster golf club in New Jersey. Trump defended his approach, claiming he’s ‘entitled to personal attacks’ due to his anger towards Harris and the legal challenges he faces. He criticized her intelligence, economic policies, and predicted she would be a ‘terrible president’.Trump made several controversial statements, including claims that Harris can ‘destroy the whole world’ and that she has ‘broken the economy, the border, and honestly, the whole world’. He also accused Harris of being a ‘radical California liberal’ and warned that the economy would ‘crash like the 1929 crash’ if she were elected.The former president’s allies, including some Republicans like Nikki Haley, have urged him to focus on policy issues rather than personal attacks. This comes as recent polls suggest Trump is losing ground in the race for the White House.Meanwhile, Harris and President Joe Biden made a joint appearance to announce a ‘historic’ deal to reduce the price of 10 key medicines for seniors, potentially saving Medicare $6 billion in the first year. This move appears to be part of a strategy to showcase their economic agenda and address voter concerns about inflation.Harris is set to outline her own economic vision in an upcoming speech. Her campaign has responded to Trump’s attacks, describing his press conference as a ‘nationally televised breakdown’ and criticizing his lack of a clear agenda.As the election approaches, both campaigns are intensifying their efforts. The Harris campaign announced a $90 million media campaign, while Trump has brought back some of his old staff, including Corey Lewandowski, to help with his campaign.
