Vice President Kamala Harris referred to former President Donald Trump as a “fascist” during a town hall with CNN’s Anderson Cooper. She mentioned criticism from Trump’s former White House chief of staff, John Kelly, to support her statement. The event took place on October 24, 2024. Harris’ comment is part of the ongoing tensions and divisions surrounding the 2024 presidential election, with political yard signs being stolen and vandalized, and both candidates, Harris and Trump, trying to secure key states like North Carolina. Despite Trump’s false accusations about Harris’ substance use and his reported praise of Hitler, Harris is focused on highlighting the contrast between her and Trump in her campaign. The potential post-election challenges from Trump are also being addressed by Harris, who believes that the country has the resources and expertise to handle them. The use of the Electoral College system in the U.S. has also been a topic of discussion during the election season. Additionally, various politicians and celebrities, including former President Barack Obama and rapper Eminem, have been rallying for Harris, while Trump continues to campaign in different states. The ongoing political polarization and intense rhetoric are emblematic of the divisive nature of the current political climate in the United States.
