On Thursday, Trump spoke in front of unused border wall materials near the U.S.-Mexico border, targeting Harris for her views on illegal immigration. In a bid to counter her prominent acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention that evening, Trump labeled Harris\u2014who previously served as San Francisco&#8217;s district attorney and California&#8217;s attorney general\u2014as a potential &#8220;Marxist&#8221; president.
