Harris, on the campaign trail, vowed to empower labour unions and prevent school book bans, while Trump branded Harris a “radical left lunatic”.
Republican Donald Trump leads Democratic US Vice President Kamala Harris in the latest poll of registered voters conducted July 22 to 24 and published on Thursday, as the candidates launch broadsides against each other from the campaign trail.
In a 20-minute address in Houston to the American Federation of Teachers, Harris, 59, focused on economic policy and workers’ rights, touting plans for affordable healthcare and child care and criticising Republicans for blocking gun limits in the wake of school shootings. Harris’ visit to the AFT, which endorsed her earlier this week, continues a blitz of campaign appearances since President Joe Biden, 81, dropped his reelection bid on Sunday and urged Democrats to coalesce behind Harris.“We want to ban assault weapons and they want to ban books,” Harris said, a reference to the push by some Republicans to remove books that address gender and sexuality from some school libraries. The Second Amendment of the US Constitution defends the right to bear arms.
Former US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who retains deep influence within the Democratic Party, endorsed Harris on Thursday alongside dozens of other female lawmakers.
