Kamala and Trump attack each other even with age

The Democratic candidate for the White House, Kamala Harris, celebrated her 60th birthday yesterday in African-American churches in Georgia, while the Republican Donald Trump, 78 years old, dressed as an employee at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania to discredit her, in the final stretch of the presidential campaign. Age was a crucial factor in the campaign that Joe Biden abandoned amid fears about his lucidity. Now, Harris constantly points to Trump’s mental capacity to exercise the Presidency. Music legend Stevie Wonder accompanied Harris on one of her stops in an Atlanta suburb, sang her “Happy Birthday” and asked citizens to “think about more than themselves when voting.” Harris insisted that the United States is “a country that is based on doing things focused on the best interest” of its children and families, “helping people out of poverty.” Addressing African-American parishioners - a Democratic group - she used the parable of the Good Samaritan to ask them to “shine light in times of darkness.” Georgia is one of the key states that could decide the November 5 elections, as is Pennsylvania, where both candidates had events planned yesterday. AT McDonald’s Just in Pennsylvania, a less stern than usual and more cheerful Trump appeared. On the outskirts of Philadelphia, he played the role of a McDonald’s employee and cooked French fries to mock Harris, who has said that she worked at that chain when she was young. When reminded by reporters that it was Harris’s birthday, Trump wished her well and joked, “I think I’ll buy her some flowers.” One of the daughters of late golf legend Arnold Palmer reacted to Trump’s references to her father’s genitals, calling them a “bad decision” to honor his memory, but clarifying that she was not bothered by them.
