Harris blasts Trump after racist rally rhetoric

“Last night, Donald Trump’s event in Madison Square Garden really highlighted a point that I’ve been making throughout this campaign,” Harris told reporters as she headed for Michigan on Air Force Two.
“He is focused and actually fixated on his grievances, on himself, and on dividing our country. And it is not in any way something that will strengthen the American family, the American worker.”
The former president’s campaign said the comments on Puerto Rico did “not reflect the views of President Trump.”
Residents in the US territory cannot vote in presidential elections, but those within the United States proper – which includes about 450,000 Puerto Ricans in the crucial battleground state of Pennsylvania – can.
As the clock ticks down, the challenge for Harris and Trump is both to energize core supporters and pull in the tiny number of persuadable voters who might still tip the balance – especially in the seven swing states where polls suggest they are running neck-and-neck.
Harris, who spent Sunday in must-win Pennsylvania, was holding three events in Michigan, while Trump was to hold two in Georgia — a pattern set to be repeated around the country’s other battlegrounds for the next seven days.
“He’s just the best for the economy right now,” said Cesar Viera, 18, who was attending the Trump rally in Atlanta, wearing a US flag across his shoulders.
Viera added that he did not find the comments at the Madison Square Garden rally offensive. “I’m Latino too and I’m voting for Trump.”
