In a heated rally in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, former US President Donald Trump escalated his personal attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump described Harris as 'mentally disabled' and questioned her 'intelligence' following her visit to the southern border, where she committed to stricter asylum policies, The New York Times reported.

'Joe Biden became mentally impaired; Kamala was born that way,' Trump told his supporters, linking Harris to what he described as the failure of the Biden administration's border policies. He further criticized her Friday comments at the border as 'bullshit.'

In his speech to the small town along the Mississippi River, Trump labeled Harris a 'political opportunist' and held her responsible for illegal immigrants whom he claimed were committing crimes. He warned that her actions would not benefit border security and that action was driven only by her declining poll numbers.

During the first presidential debate, Trump tackled the Biden-Harris administration on rising inflation, citing figures as high as 80% for some goods compared to previous years. He criticized their handling of the economy and immigration, attacking Biden again for allegedly allowing dangerous individuals into the country.

Both Trump and Harris, who secured their party nominations earlier this year, are set for the US presidential elections on November 5.
