Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Saturday reiterated his assessment that Kamala Harris would be an easier challenger than outgoing President Joe Biden, despite the Democratic candidate leading in some polls ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election. .

Trump delivered a speech at a campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre, in northeastern Pennsylvania, one of the key states in the election contest.

Harris is touring the western part of the state today, with Pittsburgh as her first stop, before heading to Chicago for the Democratic convention that begins Monday.

“I think (Harris) will be easier to beat compared to him (ie Biden),” Trump said. Although many advised him to avoid personal insults, warning that they would deprive him of moderate votes, Trump did not hesitate to fire shots at Harris. “Have you heard her laugh? That’s the laugh of a madwoman,” said the Republican mogul, adding that he didn’t like the cover of Time magazine with Kamala Harris. “I’m much prettier than her,” he commented.

The 8,000-capacity Mohegan Sun Arena was nearly full when Trump began his speech, but after an hour the crowd began to thin. The speech exceeded 100 minutes in duration. Among other things, Donald Trump reiterated his claim that he lost the 2020 election due to fraud, dismissed the threat of climate change and said his plan to impose horizontal tariffs on imported goods did not amount to an extortion on American consumers, according to which most economists dispute.
