Top Democrats hit panic button and slam Kamala Harris’s latest attacks on Trump

New York Mayor Eric Adams sharply criticized Kamala Harris for her anti-Trump rhetoric, while John Fetterman sounded the alarm for Democrats that the former president’s appeal is as strong as ever.

The mayor spoke at a news conference on Saturday and was asked about preparing for Trump’s blockbuster Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden.

He was asked if he agreed with Kamala Harris’ statement earlier this week that Trump is a “fascist.”

“I have had these comments thrown at me from a number of political leaders in the city; my answer is ‘No,’ he said.

Trump defended Adams at the Al Smith Charity Dinner — which Harris skipped — when he mentioned the mayor’s federal indictment for bribery, fraud and soliciting foreign campaign donations.

Adams appeared to return the favor to the former president on Saturday, blushing at comparisons of Trump to the likes of Adolf Hitler.

‘I know what Hitler did, and I know what a fascist regime looks like. “I think, as I have called for again and again, that at the level of conversation we can all lower the temperature,” he added.

He promised heavy security for the president’s meeting in Manhattan, while defending the event itself.

‘This is America. This is New York, and I think it’s important that we give individuals the opportunity to exercise their right to get their message across to New Yorkers,” he said.

Meanwhile, Senator John Fetterman warned in an interview with the New York Times that Trump’s message is as strong as ever.

‘It’s amazing. I did an event in Indiana County – very, very red. And there was this superstore with Trump stuff, and it was a hundred feet long, and there were dozens of T-shirts and hats and bumper stickers and all kinds of, I mean, it’s like, Where did all this come from? “It’s something that has taken on a life of its own,” he said.

Fetterman praised Harris’ campaign but was wary of Trump’s special relationship with his purple state and the appeal of adding Elon Musk’s support, saying that in some ways the Tesla CEO is “a bigger star is then Trump’.

“It’s just… it’s real. And now Musk is joining him. I mean, for a lot of people that’s Tony Stark. That’s the richest man in the world. And he’s clearly, and undeniably, a brilliant man, and he says, Hey, that’s my man for president. That’s really going to matter.’

Vice President Kamala Harris left for Atlanta on October 24 for a meeting with former President Obama

The poll from Franklin and Marshall College in Pennsylvania shows Trump with a 50 to 49 percent lead over Harris among likely voters, but among all registered voters the vice president still has a 48 percent to 44 percent lead.

It comes as a series of new polls suggest the race for the White House is turning in Trump’s favor and against Harris, with less than two weeks to go until Election Day.

More than 29 million people voted early or by mail in the 2024 elections.

But a new Wall Street Journal poll released Thursday shows the Republican presidential candidate with a three-point lead over the vice president nationally.

According to the poll, Trump has 47 percent and Harris 45 percent among registered voters. That’s a reversal from the Wall Street Journal’s August polls.

In the CNBC All-America Economic Survey, Trump also leads 48 to 46 percent.

In the seven battleground states likely to decide the election, the CNBC poll shows Trump with a 48 percent lead among voters, compared to Harris’ 47 percent.

In that poll, economic issues remain the biggest concern for voters. When it comes to prioritizing inflation, the economy and the needs of the middle class, Trump has a strong advantage.

Fetterman praised Harris’ campaign but was wary of Trump’s special relationship with his purple state and the appeal of adding Elon Musk’s support, saying that in some ways the Tesla CEO is “a bigger star is then Trump’.

The poll found that 42 percent of voters said they would be better off financially if Trump wins, compared to just 24 percent who said the same if Harris wins. Another 29 percent said their financial situation will not change regardless of who wins the White House.

That compares with the latest monthly poll from the Financial Times and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, which shows the ex-president in the lead 44 percent to 43 percent among registered voters on the economy.

It was the first time that Trump led on the economy in that particular poll.

A separate poll from Emerson College, also from the Keystone State, shows Trump with a one-point lead among voters, indicating how tight the race really is in Pennsylvania.

The poll puts the ex-president at 49 percent and the vice president at 48 percent. Another three percent of voters had another choice or were undecided.
