US Election 2024 Live Updates: Kamala Harris rallies voters, musicians Beyonce, Bad Bunny show support

US Presidential Election 2024 Live Updates: As the US presidential election campaign heats up with less than two weeks until polling day, both candidates, Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, exchanged sharp criticisms of one another.

Former President and Republican party nominee Trump, during his campaign in Pennsylvania, lashed out at opponent Harris, claiming that if elected she would “guarantee" the US' entry into World War III and would be ineffective in dealing with global leaders such as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, as per a report by The Hill.

“To make her president would be to gamble with the lives of millions of people. She would get us into a World War III guaranteed because she is too grossly incompetent to do the job," Trump stated.

Meanwhile, campaigning in Philadelphia, the largest city in battleground state of Pennsylvania, Democratic party nominee and US Vice President Harris praised young voters for being “rightly impatient for change", and told the audience that “there is too much at stake" in the campaign. 

She also criticized Trump for belittling the country. “It’s just another example of how he really belittles our country," Harris remarked, condemning Trump’s remarks as not only disrespectful but also damaging to America’s image globally. “This is someone who is a former president of the United States, who has a bully pulpit. And this is how he uses it? To tell the rest of the world that somehow the United States of America is trash? America deserves better," she said.
