Donald Trump launched a volley of attacks against US Vice-President Kamala Harris Wednesday, calling her a “radical left lunatic” in his first rally since she became the de facto Democratic Party nominee for November’s election.
In a speech claiming she was in favour of the “execution” of babies due to her stance on abortions, the former US president and Republican nominee said: “She is a radical left lunatic who will destroy our country.”
“We’re not going to let that happen,” he told the crowd in North Carolina.
Trump’s speech comes as Harris, 59, hits the campaign trail armed with US President Joe Biden’s endorsement – after his historic decision over the weekend not to seek re-election. The 78-year-old Republican repeatedly attacked Biden, 81, over his age but has been forced to pivot as he has now become the oldest nominee in history.
Trump called Harris “the ultra liberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe”.
