Harris: He's Counting on Trump's Premature Victory

With less than two weeks left until the election in the USA, the tone is being turned up even more from both sides. Kamala Harris says that her team is ready to take on Donald Trump if he tries to declare victory prematurely in the USA's presidential election.

According to Harris, the Democrats have the "resources and expertise" required if the Republican candidate Donald Trump were to try to undermine the election.

This is a person, Donald Trump, who tried to annul a free and fair election, who still denies the people's will, said Kamala Harris in an interview with NBC News.

This is a very serious issue.

Trump has been charged with attempting to influence the outcome of the 2020 election, and he still refuses to acknowledge that he lost to Joe Biden.

High Tensions

Donald Trump, on the other hand, criticized Harris for spending the day doing interviews while he was out campaigning among voters.

She knows something we don't know. I think she knows some kind of result that we don't know, he said to voters on Tuesday, local time.

During his campaign meetings, Trump escalated the rhetoric further. He directed a series of personal insults at Harris, including accusing her of having low IQ and questioning whether she takes drugs. He also implied that she was only chosen as the Democratic presidential candidate because of her gender and ethnicity.

She's running because they want to be politically correct, said Trump.

Biden: Lock Him Up

At Harris' campaign meetings, her supporters have repeatedly chanted "lock him up" directed at Donald Trump, something Trump himself often said about his former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. The White House has so far been careful to stay out of Donald Trump's ongoing legal battles – but at a campaign meeting on Tuesday, current President Joe Biden also said:

We must lock him up, said Biden, but quickly added:

Lock him up politically. Lock him out, that's what we must do.

Trump's campaign was quick to interpret Biden's comment: It's a confirmation that the charges against Trump were only brought to persecute him politically, they claim, something the former president has also previously asserted.

Joe Biden just acknowledged the truth: his and Kamala's plan has always been to politically persecute their opponent President Trump because they can't beat him fairly, said Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for Trump's campaign.
