Democracy with her, dictatorship with her rival: Kamala Harris publicly accused Donald Trump of being a “fascist” this Wednesday, October 23, predicting a very bitter end to the campaign between the two candidates for the White House, between whom no poll can decide the two.
Americans do not want a “president of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist,” said the vice president during a public meeting with voters in Pennsylvania, organized by CNN. “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” a journalist from the channel had asked him shortly before.
“Yes, I think so,” responded the Democratic candidate in the November 5 election, in a forceful statement that contrasts with her more vague responses to questions about other topics, particularly the economy and immigration. This question was asked this week in reference to comments by former Republican White House chief of staff John Kelly.
Adolf Hitler had “done good things”
This former senior US army officer considered that the Republican candidate met the definition of a fascist, and assured that the former president would have said that the Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler had “done good things.” Comments immediately denied by Donald Trump’s campaign team.
Kamala Harris estimated that John Kelly had “raised the alarm” on the eve of a vote that will surely be decided by a few tens of thousands of votes in a handful of crucial states.
In a brief and very solemn speech delivered on Wednesday in Washington, the Democratic candidate had already estimated that Donald Trump was “increasingly unbalanced” and in search of “absolute power.”
“Threat to democracy”
The Republican candidate also describes his opponent as “fascist,” but also as “Marxist” and “communist.” He responded to the latter about X, accusing him of being a “threat to democracy.”
“Comrade Kamala Harris sees that she is losing, and losing a lot, especially after stealing the race from con man Joe Biden, so now she is increasing her rhetoric more and more, even going so far as to call me Adolf Hitler, and no matter what. in mind,” he wrote.
On Tuesday, Kamala Harris will continue in the same vein by presenting a “final accusation” against Donald Trump in Washington, in the place where the former president had harangued thousands of followers just before they attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021.
The two candidates are intensifying their efforts in the final stretch of the campaign, seeking to reach all voters, all communities before November 5.
A vote with a very uncertain result
The race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, two opposing candidates, is described as one of the closest in American history in a particularly polarized country. In this vast country, candidates are polling especially in a handful of crucial states to try to convince undecided voters.
Donald Trump visited one of them on Wednesday, in Georgia, where early voting began with great force. The Republican enjoyed a walk after a public meeting on the topic of faith in a chapel in Zebulon, before giving an important campaign meeting with ultra-conservative young people.
Emmanuel Macron imitation
The Republican did not mention during this rally the accusations, revealed on Wednesday by The Guardian, according to which he attacked a model during the 90s.
On the other hand, he undertook new imitations of foreign leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron, and painted, once again, a very dark picture of the United States, devastated according to him by the government of the Democrats.
“This election comes down to choosing between four more years of incompetence, failure and disaster, and the four greatest years in the history of our country,” he said.
Both sides are increasing calls to pressure voters to go to the polls as soon as possible. As of Wednesday, nearly 26 million voters had already made their choice, according to the independent organization Elections Project.
“The main thing is to get out, vote and I will vote early,” Donald Trump told Fox News.
