He held his first rally in Hershey, Pennsylvania, since a recent assassination attempt against him in Butler earlier this month. In contrast, Harris has been highlighting her experience as a prosecutor and California attorney general to differentiate herself from Trump, who was convicted of 34 counts of business fraud in Manhattan court back in May. During a rally last week in Wisconsin, she stated, \u201cIn those roles, I took on perpetrators of all kinds: predators who abused women, fraudsters who ripped off consumers, cheaters who broke the rules for their own gain,\u201d adding that she understands &#8220;Donald Trump&#8217;s type.&#8221; As he has done at previous events, Trump began his rally with a moment of silence for Corey Comperatore\u2014a supporter killed by would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crookes\u2014before criticizing Harris. He labeled her as \u201ca defund the police radical trying to present herself as a tough-on-crime prosecutor,\u201d claiming she is only hard on individuals like him because they are political adversaries. This narrative\u2014that the Biden administration and its supporters are prosecuting Trump to prevent his return to power\u2014has become central to his reelection campaign. \u201cThey\u2019re just weak on crime. They don\u2019t care if someone gets murdered,\u201d Trump asserted further. \u201cYou can kill someone now; our country is sick.\u201d He expressed concern about what he perceives as her potential impact on Pennsylvania compared to California\u2019s situation under her leadership. Despite her recent campaign strategies emphasizing law enforcement credentials, Harris faced criticism during the 2020 Democratic primary from progressives questioning her dedication to criminal justice reform and had previously engaged with movements advocating for police funding cuts and ending cash bail following George Floyd&#8217;s death\u2014actions that alienated moderate Democrats who supported Joe Biden during that election cycle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2645,"featured_media":2317081,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/trump-harris-tough.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[538],"tags":[7204,4021,5894,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2317080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-washington-examiner","tag-crime","tag-harris","tag-politics","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/trump-harris-tough.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2645"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2317080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2317080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2317081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2317080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2317080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2317080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
