Donald Trump and Kamala Harris Clash Over Voting and Democracy
Former US President Donald Trump recently spoke to a Christian conservative audience, urging them to vote for him, claiming that if they do, they won’t need to vote again. He said, “I love you, Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign quickly responded, accusing Trump of attempting to end democracy. James Singer, a spokesperson for Harris’s campaign, stated, “When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom she means it. Our democracy is under assault by criminal Donald Trump.”
Trump also criticized Harris, alleging she dislikes Jews and Israel, and called her “the most incompetent, unpopular and far-left vice president in American history.” He further claimed, “She doesn’t like Jewish people, she doesn’t like Israel.”
Harris’s campaign condemned Trump’s remarks, stating, “Donald Trump… insulted the faith of Jewish and Catholic Americans, lied about the election (again)… bragged about repealing Roe, proposed cutting billions in education funding, announced he would appoint more extremist judges, revealed he planned to fill a second Trump term with more criminals like himself, attacked lawful voting.”
Trump credited prayers for saving his life after an assassination attempt, saying, “We want to thank each and every one of the believers in this room for your prayers and your incredible support. I really did appreciate it. Something was working, that we know, something was working. I stand before you tonight, thanks to the power of prayer and the grace of Almighty God.”
