With less than 40 days left until the November election, former President Donald Trump continues to escalate his personal attacks against Kamala Harris and called for the vice president to be “impeached and charged.”
Throughout his campaign speech in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, Trump said Harris should be disqualified from running for president, resign from office and become investigated at the highest level.
“She should be disqualified. She should resign from the vice presidency and go home to California,” Trump told the cheering crowd as he discussed the “invasion” of the US-Mexico border.
While criticizing the immigration policies of the Biden-Harris administration, Trump baselessly called for the vice president to be impeached.
“She should be charged and prosecuted for her actions,” he said.
Harris visited the US-Mexico border on Friday, her first trip there in more than three years.
Speaking in Douglas, Arizona, a border town in the critical battleground state, Harris called for tougher security measures and criticized Trump for his role earlier this year inanking a two-part bill it was the result of months of negotiations.

Harris’ trip and Trump’s continued comments on border security come as immigration continues to be a top issue for many voters ahead of the election.
A recent ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 70% saw immigration at the southern border as an “important” issue to them, and Trump led Harris by 10 points on who voters thought was best suited to handle it.
Trump’s personal attacks on Harris Sunday echoed similar comments from his rally on Saturday, where he called the vice president “mentally disabled.”
“Crooked Joe became mentally disabled. Sad. But when I lie to Kamala Harris, honestly, I think she was born that way. There’s something wrong with Kamala, and I just don’t know what it is, but there’s definitely something missing,” Trump said.
Trump has a long history of threatening legal action against his political rivals, including Biden and Hillary Clinton, in the run-up to the 2016 election.
