During a CNN town hall in Pennsylvania, Vice President Kamala Harris strongly criticized former President Donald Trump, calling him a 'fascist' and emphasizing the danger she believes he poses to the nation. Her statements echoed sentiments expressed by Trump's former chief of staff, John Kelly, who has publicly condemned Trump’s authoritarian tendencies. Despite these bold assertions, Harris faced criticism for her performance, with some commentators labeling her responses as 'word salad' for lacking clarity on key issues like immigration and economic policies. Harris attempted to differentiate her approach from President Biden's, asserting she would bring a 'new approach' to governance, though her specifics were seen as lacking by some. The town hall revealed Harris's struggle to effectively communicate her policies and address voter concerns, leaving some audience members and analysts unconvinced of her readiness to lead. This event comes as Trump leads in some national polls, adding pressure to Harris's campaign efforts.
