In front of thousands of supporters, he launched a direct attack on Democratic candidate and current Vice President Kamala Harris, calling her a “person with a very low IQ” and sharply criticizing her leadership style.
This appearance in New York, a traditionally Democratic state, highlights Trump's strategy of relying on emotional and polarizing statements in the final days of the election campaign to attract attention and mobilize supporters.
According to Spiegel, the event opened with several controversial speeches. Among the prominent speakers were entrepreneur Elon Musk, former mayor and Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and former wrestler Hulk Hogan.
Giuliani sparked outrage by claiming that Harris was "on the side of the terrorists" in the Middle East conflict and aimed to bring Palestinians into the country.
This statement, which has no factual basis, appeared designed to sow distrust of Harris. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe also used inappropriate language, making derogatory remarks about Latinos and negative comments about Puerto Rico.
Elon Musk focused on economic policy, calling for federal budget cuts of “at least two trillion dollars.”
Meanwhile, Harris is touring contested swing states, emphasizing de-escalation in rhetoric to appeal to independent voters.
Her grand final event is planned for the National Mall in Washington, aiming to provide an alternative to Trump's polarizing campaign style.
The election outcome remains uncertain, with both candidates relying on major events and high-profile media appearances to win over the remaining undecided voters.
