At his first campaign rally since President Joe Biden exited the 2024 race, former President Donald Trump shifted his attention towards Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing her of deceiving the public about Biden's ability to run for a second term. The rally took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, marking Trump's return to the campaign trail.

During the rally, Trump referred to Harris as his "new victim to defeat" and called her "the most incompetent and far-left vice president in American history." He criticized her for being a "radical left lunatic" and labeled her positions on abortion and immigration as "crazy." Trump also accused Harris of failing in her role overseeing the White House's efforts to address migration issues at the U.S.-Mexico border.

While speaking in Charlotte, Trump's rhetoric suggested that the upcoming campaign may be marked by personal attacks against Harris. He blamed her for what he perceived as the Biden administration's shortcomings and pledged to conduct mass deportations with the help of local police. Trump's comments were met with enthusiasm from the crowd, with Harris' name drawing boos during the event.

Harris, on the other hand, spent the day in Indiana, where she engaged with members of the historically Black sorority Zeta Phi Beta. She emphasized the importance of the upcoming election as a choice between two visions for the nation, one focused on the future and the other on the past. Harris' campaign responded to Trump's speech, describing it as "unhinged, weird, and rambling."

As the 2024 election approaches, the matchup between Trump and Harris is expected to intensify, with both candidates working to rally supporters and present their respective visions for the country. The focus on Harris following Biden's exit from the race underscores the shifting dynamics of the campaign and sets the stage for a contentious electoral battle.
