The Democrats are meeting in Chicago to formally choose Vice President Harris as their nominee in the November 5 presidential election.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday (local time) speaking in the city of Howell about US Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic presidential candidate on Tuesday (local time) said, "[Harris] is, as you know, the most radical left person ever even thought of for a high office, certainly for the office of president. People don't know the real Kamala, but I do, and people that do what I do, they also know," Trump said as cited by CBS news.
"She's so far left that nobody can imagine, and her real thoughts are there," Trump said as cited by the US media outlet adding that "Kamala Harris will deliver crime, chaos, destruction and death."
