Former President and current Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump believes it will be easier to beat Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris than incumbent President Joe Biden. Former US President Donald Trump made such comments at an election rally held in Pennsylvania on Saturday.
Voting for the upcoming presidential election will be held nationwide on November 5. Pennsylvania is one of the states that have always played a significant role in the outcome of the US elections. US Vice President Kamala Harris scheduled a bus tour of western Pennsylvania yesterday, starting in Pittsburgh. The Democratic National Convention will begin in Chicago on Monday. There is a strong rumor about Kamala Harris surrounding the upcoming conference. The party will formally announce Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party’s candidate for the 2024 presidential election at the Convention.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump called Kamala Harris a “radical” and “crazy” at a conference on Saturday. He said, “I believe it will be easier to defeat her (Kamala Harris) than him (Joe Biden).” Donald Trump has also tried to portray Kamala Harris as an extreme leftist by referring to various policies of her.
Kamala Harris had previously called for a ban on the ‘fracking’ method, which is harmful to health and the environment. Fracking is a process of taking out oil and gas from underground. It is essential in the mineral industry in Pennsylvania. Despite earlier calls for it, Kamala’s electoral camp has indicated she will no longer support the ban.
Moreover, Kamala Harris has some plans to reduce the cost of living. She has already announced several proposals to reduce the cost of living. At a local time on Friday, Kamala said authorities would impose strict penalties on companies that wanted to increase the cost of groceries. She also said if the authority can reduce the prices initially, it is possible to control the cost of living by making everything affordable. While campaigning in North Carolina, Kamala said the cost of food, rent, gas, dresses, prescription drugs, etc. continues to rise. After all these expenses, for most families, hardly any money is left on hand at the end of the month.
Meanwhile, Trump personally attacked Kamala at the rally. Trump also said about Kamala, ‘Have you heard her laugh? That’s a crazy laugh!’ Time magazine featured Kamala Harris on its latest cover, which Trump also mocked. He said, ‘I look better than her.’ Many political analysts believe that such racist comments could be the reason for Trump’s defeat. Trump could be an irritant, especially to moderate voters.
At the same time, Trump repeated some of his previous statements. He said he was defeated in the 2020 election by fraud. He also addressed the threat posed to the world by climate change as bogus.
Joe Biden grew up in Pennsylvania, which has 19 electoral votes. The winner must obtain at least 270 electoral votes to become president. Michigan has 15, and Wisconsin has 10. Pennsylvania could be the big prize in this election, and the state will likely be as close-fought as ever.
In 2016, Trump beat Hillary Clinton by just 44,000 votes in Pennsylvania. It’s a margin of victory of less than one percentage point. In the next election, Biden defeated Trump by just over 80,000 votes, a margin of 1.2 percentage points. In the 2024 election, Pennsylvania is given more importance by both Trump and Kamala’s electoral camps.
