Former President Trump attacked Vice President Harris at a campaign rally in Atlanta on Saturday, after Harris campaigned at the same location earlier this week.
“We have to work hard to define it,” Trump said, speaking to supporters at Georgia State University. The former president then seemed to backtrack, saying “I don’t even want to define it.”
“I just want to tell you who she is. She’s a horror show,” she added. “She will destroy our country.”
The former president has hit numbers on a range of issues, from the economy to immigration to her record as a prosecutor. Her latest attacks on her opponent, including claiming she had a “low IQ,” came after he vowed to “unleash hell” on Harris at the rally in an online post on Friday.
“This time tomorrow, Crooked Kamala’s worst nightmares will come true,” Trump wrote Friday on Truth Social.
Hours before Saturday’s rally, Trump dropped out of a Sept. 10 debate with Harris on ABC News. Instead, he proposed a September 4 debate on Fox News. Harris, who was officially named on Friday to lead the Democratic ticket in November, said she will continue with the ABC debate originally planned to be between Trump and President Biden.
However, the vice president was not the only focal point of Trump’s attacks on Saturday. Before the online rally and in front of the Atlanta crowd, the former president attacked the Peach State’s Republican governor, Brian Kemp.
“Under this kind of left-wing, radical, conscious politics, Atlanta is like a death camp and your governor should stop acting and do something about it,” Trump said during the rally, which was also attended by his fellow politician candidate, the senator. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio.)
The GOP nominee went on to say that Kemp is “very bad for the Republican Party.”
Previously, Kemp urged Trump to focus on unity in a post about social media platformafter Trump slammed the governor for his economic and crime-fighting policies in Georgia.
“Brian Kemp should focus his efforts on fighting crime, not fighting Unity and the Republican Party! His crime rate in Georgia is terrible, his crime rate in Atlanta is the worst, and his economy is average,” Trump said. wrote on Truth Socialadding that the Republican governor would not have been able to defeat his former Democratic opponent for governor, Stacey Abrams, without his endorsement.
“He and his wife didn’t think he could win. I said, ‘I’m telling you you’re going to win.’ Then he won, he was happy and his wife said: ‘Thank you, sir, we will never be able to make it up to you!’ Now she says she won’t endorse me and will ‘write on behalf of Brian Kemp’. Well, I don’t want her endorsement and I don’t want his,” the former president added.
Kemp responded on the X, saying he was focused on defeating Democrats in November, not “petty” insults.
“My focus is on winning in November and saving our country from Kamala Harris and the Democrats — and not engaging in petty personal insults, attacking fellow Republicans, or dwelling on the past,” he wrote. “You should do the same, Mr. President, and leave my family out of this.”
Trump and Kemp have had a tumultuous relationship in recent years. After Biden flipped Georgia in 2020, the governor forcefully pushed back against Trump’s voter fraud claims.
The former president has repeatedly attacked him since then, and Kemp has said he did not vote for Trump in the Georgia Republican primary in May.
