Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump sparred during a heated discussion over economics and unemployment at the presidential debate on Tuesday night in Philadelphia, leading the former president to take a personal jab at the Veep's upbringing. 

After accusing Harris of flipping to emulate certain Trump administration economic policies, Trump labeled her a "Marxist." 

“Everything that she believed three years ago and four years ago is out the window," Trump alleged. "She’s going to my philosophy now. In fact, I was going to send her a MAGA hat. She’s gone to my philosophy, but if she ever got elected, she’d change it and it will be the end of our country. She’s a Marxist. Everybody knows she’s a Marxist." The ex-president then cited Harris' father's academic background, saying, “Her father’s a Marxist professor in economics."

Stanford University's newspaper called Donald J. Harris — a Jamaican-born economics professor — a "Marxist scholar" in 1976, in an article that cast a wary eye at university administration and their seeming fear of moving students away from neoclassical economics.
