Kamala Harris says Donald Trump's language is 'an insult to the office of president'
Good morning, U.S. Politics readers.
With only 15 days until Election Day, attacks between the two presidential candidates – kamala harris (D) and donald trump (R) – Reinforced. On Sunday, Harris celebrated her 60th birthday in an interview with the Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC.
Sharpton asked her about President Trump calling her a “shitty vice president” at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
Harris, who became the first Black woman to serve as vice president after Joe Biden defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential election, responded:
The American people deserve better. That's how I think of it. And as you point out, the president of the United States needs to understand and set standards, not just for our country, but as a nation, for the world.
On behalf of the United States of America, we walk into rooms around the world with the self-appointed authority we have earned to speak about the importance of democracy and the rule of law, and as an example of what it means to be committed. It has been thought about. It complies not only with international rules and norms, but also with certain standards such as etiquette.
And what I see from my opponent, the former president of the United States, demeans the integrity of the president. And I have said, and I have been very clear about this, that Donald Trump should never stand behind the seal of the President of the United States again. He hasn't earned that right…and that's why he loses.
Vice President Kamala Harris speaks @RevAl In an exclusive interview, he said that U.S. presidents must set the standard for the world and that what we see in President Trump is “degrading the integrity of the president.”

The presidential election is basically at a stalemate both nationally and in so-called battleground states. The November 5th contest will be decided by a close margin. In order to appeal to voters in key swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), both Trump and Harris appeal to moderate swing state voters and make sure their base is large enough. Trying to make sure you're enthusiastic about it. Please come out and vote.
Later today, Harris will target suburban Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin in a series of conversations with Republican Liz Cheney moderated by Republican strategist Sarah Longwell and conservative radio host Charlie Sykes. We plan to do so.
President Trump is scheduled to make three stops in North Carolina on Monday, including touring storm damage in Asheville. Biden won the state by 1.3 percentage points in 2020, but this year's polls show the race is extremely close, making it extremely unlikely that Democrats will win the state.

The Federal Election Commission filings, released yesterday, also showed that the Democratic National Committee raised $98.6m (£76m) last month, compared to the Republican National Committee raising $37.8m (£29m).

New reports filed on Tuesday showed that Harris’s primary fundraising vehicle for big-dollar donations, the Harris Victory Fund, brought in a staggering $633m (£486m) during the third quarter. That was more than four times as much as the $145m (£111m) that the victory fund’s GOP counterpart, the Trump 47 committee, brought in, according to reports filed last week.
\n
Despite that huge spending edge and Harris’s sprawling ground game, her campaign has still struggled to significantly outpace Trump in key swing state polls. The vice president’s campaign has a much larger footprint than Trump’s, which relies on outside groups to help it turn out voters, and her advisers are worried about whether they will have enough money to secure victory. Harris’s advisers believe that the race remains close in all of the key swing states, and point to the high cost of targeting hard-to-reach and infrequent voters in seven very different states.

We representing the United States of America walk into rooms around the world with the earned and self-appointed authority to talk about the importance of democracy, of rule of law and have been thought of as a role model … of what it means to be committed to certain standards, including international rules and norms, but also standards of decorum.

The presidential race is essentially deadlocked, both nationally and in so-called battleground states. The contest on 5 November will be decided by the slimmest of margins. In order to appeal to voters in the critical swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), both Trump and Harris are trying to appeal to moderate, swing voters and ensure their bases are enthused enough to go out and vote.

New financial report shows Harris campaign's financial advantage in presidential race
The Harris campaign reported raising $221.8m (£170.4m) in September, compared to the Trump campaign's $62.7m (£48.2m). The Washington Post reported That comes as new federal campaign finance filings reveal that she had a significant financial advantage in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.
The Democratic National Committee raised $98.6 million (£76 million) last month, while the Republican National Committee raised $37.8 million (£29 million), according to Federal Election Commission filings published yesterday. Collected.
The Washington Post reported:
A new report filed on Tuesday shows that the Harris Victory Fund, the main source of funding for Ms Harris's big donations, received a staggering $633m (£486m) in the third quarter. It was revealed that the funds had been raised. This was more than four times the $145m (£111m) raised by the Trump 47 Committee, the Republican equivalent of the Victory Fund, according to a report filed last week.
Despite its huge spending advantage and Ms. Harris' vast ground game, her campaign still struggles to significantly outperform Mr. Trump in key battleground state polls. The vice president's campaign is far more powerful than Trump's and relies on outside groups to rally voters, leaving his advisers concerned about whether they have enough money to secure victory. I am doing it. Harris' advisers believe the race remains close in all key battleground states, and targeting hard-to-reach and infrequent voters in seven very different states will be a challenge. He points out that it costs a lot of money.
Harris is running a campaign about three times the size of Trump's, spending more on advertising than her Republican opponent, and running a campaign that is about three times the size of Trump's, according to a Washington Post analysis of campaign spending. It has many staff and volunteers and carries out large-scale agency activities.
The US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austinis making a surprise visit to Ukraine today to reaffirm Washington's support for the Ukrainian president. Volodymyr Zelensky When I met him later.
Austin also plans to meet with his Ukrainian counterpart. Rustem Umerov. U.S. support is essential for Kyiv to gain support from other allies for proposals that President Zelenskyy believes are necessary to strengthen Ukraine's position on the battlefield and ahead of peace talks.
There are concerns that the second Trump administration could cut military aid to Kiev, much of which is supplied by the United States, as Ukraine is in dire need of financial aid and military equipment. Kamala Harris appears to be willing to follow Joe Biden's policy toward Ukraine by providing military aid and diplomatic support to Kiev. She ruled out a one-on-one meeting with President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine unless the leader in Kiev gets involved.
“It's absolutely amazing that Ukraine has been able to accomplish what it has done,” Austin told reporters.
“Of course, we were able to do that because we have supported them from the beginning, and we have mobilized about 50 countries to join in that support,” he added.
