Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Saturday he believed Democrat Kamala Harris will be easier to beat than President Joe Biden, despite some polls showing her leading in the race for the Nov. 5 presidential election. Speaking at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Trump labeled Harris as "radical" and "lunatic," criticizing her stance on fracking and other policies.
At the rally, Trump continued to make personal attacks against Harris, calling her laugh "crazy" and criticizing her appearance on a recent Time magazine cover. He reiterated false claims about the 2020 election and dismissed climate change concerns while defending his tariff plan. Harris has recently indicated she does not support a ban on fracking, despite previous calls for one.
Trump's comments come as both campaigns heavily invest in Pennsylvania ads, with the state set to be a crucial battleground. Pennsylvania offers 19 electoral votes, making it a pivotal prize. Harris has gained traction since entering the race, leading Trump by more than two percentage points in Pennsylvania according to FiveThirtyEight.
