Kamala Harris Celebrates 60th Birthday as Age Takes Center Stage in US Election
As Kamala Harris turns 60, she enters the final leg of a highly competitive election race against 78-year-old Donald Trump, now the oldest candidate in US presidential history. Age has become a critical issue in the campaign, with President Joe Biden stepping aside due to concerns over his mental sharpness. Meanwhile, Harris has steadily questioned Trumpâs mental fitness for office, keeping age and health at the forefront of political discourse.
The heated contest, with just over two weeks until Election Day, remains neck and neck, according to polls. Both parties have ramped up their efforts, recognizing the importance of key battleground states like Pennsylvania, which could prove decisive in the November 5 election.
After a shaky performance by Biden in a debate against Trump, the Democratic Party grew concerned about his ability to lead, prompting him to pass the baton to Harris. However, Trumpâs age hasnât seemed to dissuade voters, as polls indicate a close race.
At a rally in Atlanta on Saturday, Harris took aim at Trump, criticizing his recent tendency to avoid debates and cancel interviews due to "exhaustion." She mocked his off-the-cuff speeches, referring to them as "nonsense." She quipped, "He's called it the weave. But we here, we will call it nonsense."
Harris had also highlighted her own excellent health following a report on October 12, a not-so-subtle jab at Trump. However, Trump's campaign was quick to respond, emphasizing that the former president remains in âexcellent healthâ and fully capable of serving as Commander-in-Chief.
Trump responded to Harrisâs jabs with a marathon speech in Pennsylvania, even commenting that Harris lacks the energy to match him, stating she âdoesnât have the energy of a rabbit.â
Both candidates and their teams are making their final pushes in swing states. Business mogul Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has taken to the campaign trail, holding events in Pennsylvania, a state crucial to securing victory. Musk further engaged voters by announcing he would randomly award $1 million to a registered Pennsylvania voter each day until Election Day.
Harris, meanwhile, deployed high-profile surrogates, including pop icons Lizzo and Usher, to rally support. At an event in Detroit, Lizzo electrified the crowd, declaring that America is ready for its first female president, borrowing a line from her own hit song: "It's about damn time!" Usher, at a rally in Atlanta, urged voters to turn out, saying, "I'm counting on you" to help bring Harrisâs campaign âacross the finish lineâ in Georgia.
As the candidates sprint towards Election Day, the outcome remains uncertain, with both Harris and Trump locked in a fierce battle for the White House.
