The Democratic candidate for president of USA Kamala Harris said that her opponent from the Republican Party Donald Trump is setting a new example of lack of transparency by not publishing his detailed health documents, Reuters reported, quoted by BTA.
Yesterday, Harris released a document from her doctor declaring that she is in good health and fit to hold the highest office in the United States.
"I think it's obvious that at least his team doesn't want the American people to see everything about who he is,'' Harris told the media before flying to North Carolina.
Trump has voluntarily released an update from his personal physician, as well as detailed reports from the doctor Ronny Jackson who treated him after the first assassination attempt, said Steven Chen, Trump's campaign communications director.
"Everyone has concluded that he is in perfect and excellent health to be commander-in-chief,", Chen stressed.
Harris' campaign has sought to emphasize the former president's age since he became the oldest candidate in the race. 81-year-old President Joe Biden gave up his presidential candidacy after a weak performance in the debates against Trump, Reuters recalls.
Meanwhile, Harris helped pack diapers into boxes of personal care products intended for hurricane victims in North Carolina, the Associated Press reported, citing BTA.
In addition, she agreed with the statement of one of the assistants, a restaurant owner, who stated that "it takes a whole village.
Harris met with black community leaders at a Raleigh restaurant before joining volunteers who had come to pack bandages, baby food, wipes, pain pills and other supplies for Hurricane Helene victims. ;, which passed through western North Carolina last month.
The vice president is spending the night in the state, which in 2020 narrowly supported her rival, Republican Donald Trump. Democrats are campaigning hard for North Carolina support next month.
Today, Harris will attend a church in Greenville as part of her "Souls at the Ballots" campaign's voter outreach efforts and hold a rally.
The weekend trip was her second visit to the state after the passage of Hurricane Helene, AP notes.
Minutes after Donald Trump delivered his standard warnings at a campaign event about drug dealers and criminals crossing the US border illegally, he heard from a man who once stayed in the country illegally but now plans to vote for him, reported the Associated Press, quoted by BTA.
Elias Trujillo was one of several speakers at a Latin American roundtable in Las Vegas aimed at drawing attention to Trump's economic ideas. After the Republican nominee finished addressing the small group gathered, the panelists spoke. Trujillo began by recounting his personal story - how his mother brought him and his brothers from Mexico to Utah in 1995 to be reunited with their father, who worked in construction.
"We came here legally, but you know, we overstayed and we were able to make a life here in the U.S.," Trujillo said, referring to the fact that his family entered the U.S. on a legal visa but did not leave. , when it expires.
At least one person in the audience started laughing and clapping, which made Trujillo laugh as well. Trump only smiled, notes AP.
Immigration played an important but controversial role in the election campaign. Trump is both counting on increased Latino support to return him to the White House, while also focusing his campaign on the dangers of immigration. He also stated that migrants "poison the blood" of the country, called the increase in the number of migrants crossing the southern border an "invasion" and promised to begin mass deportations if he returned to the White House.
A day before the roundtable in Las Vegas, Trump was in Colorado and grimly warned that a Venezuelan gang was terrorizing the city of 400,000. The city's Republican mayor said Trump was distorting an isolated issue.
Yesterday, Trump delivered his usual criticism of border policy before moving on to general praise for Hispanics, whom he described as energetic and natural entrepreneurs.
Since 2016, when he first campaigned, Trump has usually smoothed over any apparent conflict between his anti-immigration warnings and his support from Latino voters by warning about "rapists" crossing the southern border illegally. Many Latino voters, who either entered the country legally or whose families have lived in the US for generations, oppose illegal immigration, the AP noted. Trump has argued that his economic and immigration policies will help Latinos and other minorities, often suggesting, contrary to economic data, that immigrants are taking away so-called "black jobs" and "Latino jobs".
In general, Latin American voters are about equally likely to support Trump and his opponent Kamala Harris, AP notes.
