Ex-Republican Liz Cheney backs Harris, Trump gets evangelical leader on his side as US election campaign gathers pace
Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her Republican rival, Donald Trump, delivered radically different messages on the U.S. campaign trail on Monday as they sought to win over undecided voters in the two weeks before Election Day.
Vice President Harris, campaigning alongside Republican former lawmaker Liz Cheney, attempted to convince conservative, suburban women in three Midwestern battleground states that former President Trump was a threat to abortion rights, national security and democracy.
As the election draws closer, Harris has been sharpening her attacks on Trump’s fitness for office, often calling him “unstable” or “unhinged” and questioning his temperament.
“In many, many ways Donald Trump is an unserious man, but the consequences of him being president of the United States are brutally serious,” Harris, 60, said at an event in Malvern, Pennsylvania, one of seven battleground states expected to decide the winner of the Nov. 5 election.
Trump ended his day at an evangelical Christian event in Concord, North Carolina, telling a crowd he likes to think that during the failed assassination attempt against him on July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, he was saved by being “knocked to the ground by a supernatural hand.”
In his remarks, he avoided using some of the off-color rhetoric he has been using in recent speeches. He said as he looks back on his life, “I now recognize that it’s been the hand of God leading me to where I am today.”
Evangelical leader Franklin Graham offered a prayer that Trump be elected.
“Rallies and positive poll numbers are not going to win this election,” Graham said. “It’s going to be God.”
