Harris Hits Trump Over His ‘Father of I.V.F.’ and Jan. 6 Remarks

Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday used two rallies in Wisconsin to amplify and castigate recent remarks from former President Donald J. Trump, demonstrating her campaign’s desire to drive maximum attention to him in the final weeks before Election Day.

In a state where polls show she is locked in a tied race with Mr. Trump, Ms. Harris took aim at his claims this week that he was “the father of I.V.F.” and that Jan. 6, 2021, when his supporters stormed the Capitol to try to overturn his 2020 defeat, was “a day of love.”

“The man calls himself the father of I.V.F. I mean, what does that even mean?” Ms. Harris said after playing a video montage of Mr. Trump bragging about appointing Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide. “He is the one who, by the way, is responsible for it being at risk in the first place.”

The vice president added: “When you listen to Donald Trump talk, it becomes increasingly clear, I think, he has no idea what he’s talking about.”

Ms. Harris’s stinging remarks about abortion rights and in vitro fertilization came in Ashwaubenon, a Green Bay suburb in the heart of northeast Wisconsin, a region crucial to both candidates’ prospects in the state.

Earlier, on the other side of the state in La Crosse, Ms. Harris said her Republican opponent was “gaslighting” Americans with his effort to rewrite the history of Jan. 6 as a mostly peaceful day. He has falsely argued that the violence was instigated not by his supporters but by forces opposed to him.
