Kamala Harris responds to a question about Donald Trump’s virtues

Vice President Kamala Harris said former President Donald Trump’s love for his family is his virtue when she was asked to name three of them during her town hall in Las Vegas on Thursday.

Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, attended a town hall hosted by Spanish-language television network Univision for a group of undecided voters at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Throughout the hour, she discussed topics like immigration and health care before being asked at the very end by a woman to name three of Trump, the Republican presidential candidate’s virtues.

Harris laughed as she told the contestant, “Thanks for the question,” before naming just one.

“From my life experience, I know that the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us. And part of what pains me is the approach that Donald Trump and some others have taken, frankly, which is to suggest that we are against them, whoever that may be.”

She continued: “And when Americans point fingers at each other, use derogatory language, have people calling them names and trying to scare them and live in fear – I don’t think that’s healthy for our nation, and I don’t admire that.” “. And in fact, I’m pretty critical of anything said by someone who wants to be president of the United States.”

Harris concluded: “I think Donald Trump loves his family and I think that’s very important. I think family is one of the most important things we prioritize. But to be honest, I don’t really know him, I just met him.” Once on the debate stage, I had never met him before, so I can’t offer you much more.

Newsweek has emailed the Trump campaign and Harris’ campaign seeking comment.

The debate Harris is referring to is the only presidential debate she participated in against Trump on September 10 and was moderated by ABC News.

While Harris has accepted CNN’s invitation to a second debate, Trump has said several times that he does not want to debate again, often saying they were “rigged” against him.

Fox News has also invited Trump and Harris to a debate on October 24 or 27, but the former president said this week: “There will be no rematch.”

Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social on Wednesday that it was “very late.” [election] process” and said there was “nothing to discuss” as “voting has already begun”.

However, during the 2020 election, Trump attended the final presidential debate with Joe Biden on October 22 after early voting began in several states. In 2016, he debated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on October 19.

It comes as Republicans accused Harris of using a teleprompter during her town hall in Nevada, with Univision denying the claim.

Several Republicans shared a video that was first posted by the Trump War Room account

The video isn’t clear enough to show what was written on the screen, but Harris continues speaking nonstop after it starts.

However, event host Enrique Acevedo wrote on X: “The prompter showed my introduction (in Spanish) and then switched to a timer. Any claim to the contrary is simply false.”

Additionally, Daniel Coronell, president of Univision News, also denied the claim in a post citing first-hand knowledge because I was in charge of the television program.

In the swing state of Nevada, Harris is ahead of Trump (47.6 to 47.1 percent), according to FiveThirtyEight’s overall poll from Friday afternoon.
