Washington. US presidential candidate Donald Trump on Friday accused election rival Kamala Harris of being anti-Semitic in a speech to rally religious supporters. Vice President Kamala Harris, who is married to a Jewish man, has taken a lead over Trump in polling. She replaced Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket just days ago. Former Republican President Trump fiercely attacked Harris’ record as Biden’s number two during his address to a religious conference in southern Florida.
Explaining why Harris, 59, skipped Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the US Congress on Wednesday, Trump accused her of being an anti-Semite. “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.
