At a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump asserted that he believes Kamala Harris will be easier to defeat in the upcoming presidential election than President Joe Biden, despite some polls showing her leading. Trump characterized Harris as 'radical' and 'a lunatic', and he criticized her for past comments about banning fracking, which is significant in Pennsylvania. He also made personal attacks against Harris, including derogatory remarks about her laugh and appearance, which some political analysts suggest could alienate moderate voters. The rally occurred as Harris prepared for a bus tour in Pennsylvania ahead of the Democratic National Convention. Trump's remarks come in the context of a tighter race, with Harris performing better in recent polling than Biden did during his campaign. Meanwhile, Trump reiterated his unsubstantiated claims about the 2020 election and expressed a readiness to debate Harris, claiming it would be easier than facing Biden.
