From 'joyful' to 'fascist' - Why Kamala Harris adopted Biden's playbook on blasting Trump

Vice President Kamala Harris stood outside the vice president's residence in Washington, D.C., launching a blistering attack on former President Trump, her rival in the 2024 White House race.

Harris charged that the former president was "increasingly unhinged and unstable" as she pointed to critical comments made by retired Gen. John Kelly, Trump's former White House Chief of Staff, in a New York Times interview.

The vice president argued Trump was a "fascist" as she noted Kelly's allegations that the then-president repeatedly voiced admiration for Nazi Germany dictator Adolf Hitler.

Hours later, at a CNN town hall in battleground Pennsylvania on Wednesday night, Harris doubled down on her charges.

Asked if she believed the Republican presidential nominee was a fascist, the vice president answered "yes, I do."

And she emphasized that American voters "care about our democracy and not having a President of the United States who admires dictators and is a fascist."
