Trump rally overshadowed by opening act’s insults against Puerto Ricans, latest on Trump-Harris polling

Before heading to Michigan for campaign events in the battleground state, Harris lambasted Trump and comments made by speakers at his campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, calling the rally “nonsense.”

“He is focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself and on dividing our country,” she told reporters. “And it is not in any way something that will strengthen the American family, the American worker.”

The vice president said Trump’s remarks are “fanning the fuel of trying to divide our country.”

“There’s a big difference between he and I,” Harris said. “If he were elected, on day one, he’s going to be sitting in the Oval Office working on his enemies list. On day one, if I’m elected president of the United States, which I fully intend to be, I will be working on behalf of the American people on my to-do list.”

The vice president said her Republican opponent in the race for the White House “fans the fuel of hate and division,” which she said is “why people are exhausted with him.”

“People are literally ready to turn the page,” she said. “They’re tired of it.”

Harris told reporters she is proud to have backing from singers Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez, who are both Puerto Rican and voiced support for the vice president in the wake of offensive remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump’s event.

“They understand that they want a president of the United States who is about uplifting the people and not berating, not calling America a garbage can, those are the words he has used,” she said.
