In a spirited campaign event in Pennsylvania, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris indirectly criticized former President Donald Trump, labeling his approach as cowardly for focusing on undermining opponents rather than uplifting citizens. Her appearance, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz by her side, underlined her push for a more inclusive measure of leadership.

Harris stated, 'The real and true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up,' aiming to contrast her vision with Trump's. She refrained from naming Trump directly, who had previously called her a 'radical' and a 'lunatic' during a campaign event.

Polls suggest Harris's dynamic approach is resonating, helping to close the gap with Trump in key battleground states. Should she win, Harris would become the nation's first female president. She plans to unveil her platform at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, which starts Monday. Trump counters with events aimed at highlighting his policy advantages.
