Kamala Harris says she would take a cognitive test; calls on Trump to ‘take the same’

vice president Kamala Harrisresponding to ex President Donald Trump’s claims about her IQsaid she would take a cognitive test and “would suggest he take the same test.”

“That’s what he’s resorted to, and I think what he’s actually doing is becoming increasingly unstable and frustrated and resorting to name-calling because he doesn’t really have a plan for the American people,” Harris said in an interview with the host of “ CBS Evening News” and managing editor Norah O’Donnell hosted election campaign in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

The vice president pointed to the scores of people who have worked closely with and opposed Trump in recent weeks as evidence he is “unfit to be president of the United States.”

“Don’t take it from me, listen to the people who know him best,” Harris said. “His former chiefs of staff. Most recently, 4-star Marine General John Kelly. Listen to the two former secretaries of defense who worked for him, listen to his national security adviser, listen to his vice president, who everyone, one way or another, said he was no longer fit to be president and should never be president again. and it’s dangerous.”

Harris has come under fire for her comments about Trump, including calling him “fascistThe vice president told CBS News that she condemns “any political violence of any kind against anyone,” while noting that people should “take it from the people who know it best.”

With just over a week until Election Day, the vice president acknowledged the presidential race is close while saying she’s seen “a lot of enthusiasm” in the campaign.

“This is a presidential race. And it should be close,” she said. “Honestly, I see a lot of enthusiasm around our campaign.”

CBS News vote A report released Sunday showed Harris and Trump tied in the state, while Harris leads by one point nationally.

Harris said she intends to “earn every vote we get” as she travels around the country on the campaign trail. And she pointed to the support she saw on the ground.

The campaign has been star-studded in recent days, with Harris appearing with Michelle Obama in Michigan on Saturday. and Beyoncé a day earlier in Texas.

Harris laid out elements of her vision for her first 100 days if elected, citing legislation to reduce costs and protect reproductive rights as a top legislative priority.

As for cost-cutting efforts, Harris said the package would address housing, small businesses, child tax credits and put “more money in the hands of American workers” while cutting taxes for the middle class. She said the priority “equally” would be to address reproductive health and restoration of protection. And she mentioned border security – return border deal which Senate Republicans rejected earlier this year — as another top priority.

Whether the priorities can be passed, especially in a divided Congress, remains to be seen. But Harris argues that “most of the issues that I think the vast majority of Americans care about are not partisan issues.”

“Reducing the cost of products. Lower housing costs,” she said. “Getting more support for families with children. These are not partisan issues. Democrats, Republicans, independents deal with these issues alike and don’t really think about them through the lens of the party they are registered to vote with. that means working across the aisle.”
