Vice President Kamala Harris is set to address former President Donald Trump's recent remarks regarding using the military to handle what he referred to as 'the enemy from within' on Election Day. A senior campaign official has indicated that Harris will use this opportunity to portray her Republican opponent as a potential threat, particularly in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania where Trump is actively campaigning.
During an interview with Fox News, Trump expressed concerns about individuals within the country, labeling them as 'very bad people' and 'sick people,' specifically targeting what he referred to as 'radical left lunatics.' Harris intends to capitalize on these statements during a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she plans to caution against the potential risks to people's freedom posed by Trump's proposed actions.
The campaign is also scheduled to unveil a new advertisement titled 'Enemy Within,' featuring former Trump aides such as Olivia Troye and Kevin Carroll. In the ad, Carroll warns about the potential consequences of a second term for Trump, emphasizing the absence of checks on his 'worst instincts' and the dangers of unchecked power without any guardrails in place.
By highlighting Trump's controversial comments and the perceived risks associated with his leadership, Harris aims to underscore the importance of the upcoming election and the potential implications for the country's future. The ongoing exchange between the two campaigns underscores the intense competition and contrasting visions for the nation's direction as the election draws nearer.
