I'm very angry with her for using the legal system as a weapon against me and other people, very angry. I think I have the right to attack her personally, he claimed at a press conference at his golf club in New Jersey on Thursday.

Trump began the press conference by talking about economic policy, but then switched to the kind of attacks and claims that have characterized his election meetings, including the baseless accusation that Harris has used the legal system in the way Trump describes.

Regarding the economy, Trump was accompanied on stage by a number of popular food items with accompanying posters showing how much they have increased in price recently. The 78-year-old has repeatedly blamed the Biden administration for inflation – which increased sharply for a period.

Kamala Harris, still Vice President, campaigned together with President Joe Biden in Largo, Maryland on Thursday. It was the first joint election meeting for the two since Biden announced that he would not run for re-election. The plan is for Harris to present her economic policy in a speech in North Carolina on Friday.
