Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance delivered a passionate speech at President Donald Trump's rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where he intensified his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris. Vance targeted Harris' record on the border, economy, and crime, labeling her as a 'San Francisco liberal' who is out of touch with mainstream America.
During his address, Vance referenced Harris' unsuccessful 2020 primary campaign, suggesting that Democrats had already rejected her once and would do so again in the upcoming election. He emphasized that the American people would not support a candidate like Harris, whom he described as a 'wacky, out-of-touch San Francisco liberal.'
Vance also took aim at the media's portrayal of Harris, dismissing comparisons to historical figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and highlighting her past role as a district attorney in San Francisco. He repeatedly referred to Harris as 'the border czar,' criticizing her stance on immigration and accusing her of advocating for benefits for illegal immigrants at the expense of taxpayers.
The vice president's work on immigration, particularly in the realm of diplomacy, has drawn scrutiny from Republicans, who have focused on border security issues under her watch. Vance defended his loyalty to the country and his running mate, Trump, in response to Harris' comments questioning his allegiance. He highlighted his military service in the Marine Corps and his contributions to the nation, asserting his commitment to the United States.
Vance's speech resonated with the crowd, as he underscored his dedication to the country and his concerns about Harris' policy positions. The event showcased the escalating rhetoric between the Republican and Democratic camps as the election season unfolds.
