Trump Questions Ratings of Kamala Harris' Speech

In a recent Fox News interview, former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for her remarks during her nomination acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention. Harris accused Trump of undermining a bipartisan border security deal and pledged to revive it if elected president. Trump countered that Harris had ample opportunity during her vice-presidential term to address the issues she raised, including border security and poverty, asserting that she has failed to take action. Harris also targeted Trump’s tax policies, promising middle-class tax cuts that would benefit over 100 million Americans. She condemned his proposed tariffs on imports, labeling them a "Trump tax" that would ultimately harm American jobs. Trump responded by emphasizing his focus on job creation and warning that Harris's tax plans could drive companies to relocate abroad, further exacerbating economic challenges. The Democratic National Convention's first night attracted an average of 20 million viewers, surpassing the Republican National Convention's first night viewership of 18.1 million. However, this year’s numbers fell short of the 25.95 million who watched in 2016. Trump has expressed concern over whether Harris's speech will outperform his own in terms of viewership, a point highlighted by former Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. The DNC featured prominent speakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and President Joe Biden, while the RNC showcased several of Trump's former allies. As both parties gear up for the upcoming debate on September 10, the focus remains on the contrasting narratives presented by Harris and Trump.
