Trump Responds to Harris’s Criticism
Donald Trump dismissed Vice President Kamala Harris’s criticism during a recent debate, labeling her comments as prepackaged sound bites provided by her media team. Trump suggested that Harris’s remarks were devoid of genuine content and simply rhetorical attacks designed by advisers. Harris, on the other hand, accused Trump of lacking a concrete plan and being more interested in self-defense than helping the American public.
Trump Highlights His Credentials
Trump countered Harris’s criticisms by emphasizing his education at the Wharton School of Finance, noting that his economic plan is highly regarded by top professors there. “I went to the Wharton School of Finance, and many of those professors, the top professors, think my plan is a brilliant plan,” Trump said. “It’s a great plan. It’s a plan that’s going to bring up our worth, our value as a country. It’s going to make people want to be able to go and work and create jobs and create a lot of good, solid money for our country.”
Critique of Harris’s Platform
Trump criticized Harris’s policy platform, calling it minimal and accusing her of copying President Joe Biden’s plan. Trump mocked Harris’s plan as simplistic and lacking substance, claiming she had plagiarized parts of her platform from Biden’s campaign. According to Breitbart News, Trump described the current administration as “a rogue regime” and used this attack to underscore what he sees as biased treatment from the media.
I have been briefed on the shooting at former President Trump’s event in Pennsylvania.
Doug and I are relieved that he is not seriously injured. We are praying for him, his family, and all those who have been injured and impacted by this senseless shooting.
We are grateful to…

Pennsylvania’s Key Role and Debate Readiness
Pennsylvania is identified as a crucial battleground state that could decide the outcome of the Electoral College. The upcoming debate will be the first meeting between Harris and Trump, as Trump did not attend Biden’s inauguration. Harris has stated that she expects Trump to propagate falsehoods during the debate and intends to underscore that Trump fights for himself rather than for the American people.
Harris Advocates Unity and Takes Aim at Trump
In a contrasting tone, Harris visited a spice store in Pittsburgh, promoting a message of unity and moving forward. “It’s time to turn the page on the divisiveness. It’s time to bring our country together — chart a new way forward,” she said. Meanwhile, Harris is positioning herself as a law-and-order candidate against Trump, a convicted criminal. Harris also plans to reiterate her economic policy proposals and discuss her middle-class upbringing and career as a prosecutor during the debate.
