Harris Warns That 'Unhinged' Trump Seeks Absolute Power"
See Video
Kamala Harris is intensifying her attacks on Donald Trump as concerns grow within the Democratic Party about her White House chances. On Monday, the vice president warned that Trump was "unstable," "unhinged," and seeking "unchecked power," just 21 days before the election. "Watch his rallies. Listen to his words. He tells us who he is, and he tells us what he would do if he is elected president," Harris told a large crowd in Pennsylvania, after a weekend where Trump's authoritarian rhetoric hit alarming new heights, hinting at the extreme direction his second term could take.
Meanwhile, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz went further, suggesting that Trump’s comments about using the military against domestic enemies could border on treason.
Harris is leveraging Trump’s controversial "enemy from within" remarks to cast him as dangerous and unstable. Her team has also ramped up attacks on Trump's mental fitness, flipping the narrative after months of Republican claims about President Joe Biden’s competence. As part of an effort to reignite her campaign’s momentum, Harris announced initiatives to court Black male voters, a crucial demographic that Trump has been trying to sway, and to win over disillusioned Republicans in swing states like Arizona. In a move to widen her reach, she also agreed to her first formal interview with Fox News, contrasting with Trump’s strategy of sticking to conservative media outlets.
As both campaigns fought for dominance in Pennsylvania, a pivotal swing state with 19 electoral votes, Harris’ actions in the final weeks could be crucial in swaying undecided voters. She faces the difficult task of presenting herself as a fresh candidate for change while running against an administration she was part of, all while contending with Trump, who appears willing to go to any lengths to regain power. Complicating her efforts is Trump’s refusal to meet her for a second debate after her strong showing in their first encounter in September.
During a rally in Erie, Harris played a tape of Trump’s comments about using the military on "the enemy from within," warning her crowd that Trump considers anyone opposing him as an enemy of the country. She described him as "unstable and unhinged," echoing her team’s concerns about his pursuit of unchecked power. Her running mate, Tim Walz, painted Trump as a threat to political freedoms, citing former military leaders who have described Trump as a fascist.
Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, defended Trump’s comments, arguing that deploying military force could be justified if cities were being torn apart by violence. This rhetoric, coupled with Harris and her team’s escalating warnings, points to growing concerns among Democrats about what a second Trump term could mean for democracy.
Harris is also facing questions about Trump’s refusal to release his medical records or participate in another debate, which she speculated may be due to concerns about his fitness for office. Her husband, Doug Emhoff, echoed these sentiments in a media appearance, questioning Trump’s mental and physical health.
At her rally in Erie, Harris showed confidence, repeatedly assuring her audience, "We will win." Erie County, which has swung between Democratic and Republican victories in recent elections, is a critical battleground that mirrors the broader national contest between Harris and Trump. While Harris needs to energize her base in Democratic-leaning areas, Trump is focused on securing large margins in rural parts of the state.
Trump, for his part, is appealing to key voter groups like young men by making appearances on popular podcasts, using non-traditional media to connect with voters who often don’t participate in elections. Both Harris and Trump are vying for crucial constituencies in the final stretch of the race, each hoping to build momentum toward victory.
