Donald Trump is locked in a heated contest with Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee.
Accused of Immigrants in Floods
One of the central issues in the race is immigration at the southern border, which continues to dominate voter concerns, according to polls.
During a recent campaign event, Trump intensified his rhetoric against Harris, who recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border as part of her presidential campaign. Trump accused Harris and President Joe Biden of allowing undocumented immigrants to flood the U.S, according to Digi24.
He claimed some of these immigrants aim to "rape, rob, and kill Americans," a comment he acknowledged was "dark." Trump further condemned Harris, blaming her for what he sees as the erasure of U.S. borders and insisting she should never become president.
J.D. Vance Backs Up
J.D. Vance, Trump's running mate, echoed these criticisms during a speech in Newton, Pennsylvania.
Vance asserted that Harris lacked substance and a clear plan, criticizing her for what he sees as her failure during her term as vice president. Without evidence, Vance also accused Harris of worsening the U.S. economy through inflation and suggested that immigration issues were driving up housing costs across the country.
The immigration debate is expected to remain a focal point as the November election approaches, with both sides leveraging the issue to energize their voter base.
