Trump Intensifies Personal Attacks on Kamala Harris at Pennsylvania Rally. At a rally in Erie, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump intensified his criticism of Kamala Harris, accusing her of being “mentally impaired” and suggesting she should be “impeached and prosecuted,” AP reports. Trump blamed Harris for what he called an "invasion" at the U.S.-Mexico border, asserting that she should be held accountable for her immigration policies. Trump's attacks come as part of a broader strategy of using personal insults, despite some Republican advisors urging him to focus on policy issues instead. Trump’s calls for legal action against political enemies, including Harris, break from U.S. norms, which aim to keep the justice system free from political influence. Trump faces his own legal battles, including pending cases related to the January 6th insurrection and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia. Trump has referred to Harris with offensive terms such as "stupid" and “lazy,” while some Republicans, like Sen. Lindsey Graham, suggest Trump should prioritize policy issues over personal attacks. Rep. Tom Emmer avoided directly addressing Trump's personal attacks on Harris, instead focusing on the perceived failures of her policies. Former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan criticized Trump for questioning Harris’ racial identity and mental fitness, calling such attacks "insulting." Harris has mostly dismissed Trump’s attacks, saying they are a “tired playbook” without substantive plans to address the country’s needs. Rally attendees expressed mixed feelings about Trump’s rhetoric, supporting his policies on immigration but acknowledging his offensive remarks.
