Donald Trump has called Kamala Harris a “far-left bum” and failed vice president.

At a speech in Florida to rally his religious base, the former president launched a tirade against his Democrat opponent.

“She was a bum three weeks ago,” Trump said. “She was a bum, a failed vice president.”

In the hour-long address hosted by Turning Point Action, Trump made appeals to his conservative supporters by making wild allegations against Ms Harris’ stance on abortion.

“If Kamala Harris has her way, they will have a federal law for abortion, to rip the baby out of the womb in the eighth, ninth month and even after birth - execute the baby after birth,” he claimed, in perhaps his most egregious calumny.

Trump went on to call Ms Harris out for missing a speech by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress.  

“She doesn’t like Jewish people. She doesn’t like Israel. That’s the way it is, and that’s the way it’s always going to be. She’s not going to change,” he said. 

Trump’s speech comes as polls show Ms Harris is closing the gap on Trump in an increasingly tighter race to when Mr Biden was still in the presidential running.
