Kamala Harris' speech at her residence in Washington, D.C., represented her latest attempt to gain a decisive advantage over Trump, The Guardian reported.

Before leaving for a CNN town hall meeting with undecided voters in suburban Philadelphia, Harris sought to use recent comments by Trump and his former chief of staff John Kelly to convince voters that Trump is more dangerous than ever. "Trump is increasingly unhinged and emotionally unstable, and in a second term, people like John Kelly will no longer be able to stop his tendencies and behaviors. Those who once tried to stop him from pursuing his worst impulses will no longer be there to control him," Harris said.

She noted that in the past week, Trump has described his political opponents as "internal enemies" and openly considered sending the military to hunt them down. "It is deeply disturbing and extremely dangerous that Trump would actually invoke Adolf Hitler, who was responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans," Harris said, citing a report in The Atlantic.

According to CNN, Harris specifically criticized Trump's remarks that "he needs generals like those under Hitler." Harris' running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz, said at a rally in Wisconsin on Tuesday night that the remarks about Hitler's generals in the report "sickened me to death."

“He doesn’t want a military that is loyal to the Constitution of the United States,” the vice president said. “He wants a military that is loyal to him personally, a military that will obey his orders even if it requires them to break the law or betray their oath to the Constitution of the United States.”

Kelly confirmed to The Atlantic that Trump has expressed a desire for his military to show him the same respect that Hitler's Nazi generals showed the German dictator during World War II. Kelly also told The New York Times that Trump has praised Hitler: "He's commented more than once, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too.'"

Trump's team denied this. A spokesman for the Trump campaign said in a statement on Tuesday that Kelly "is completely deceived by these lies he has fabricated because he failed to serve the President well during his tenure as White House Chief of Staff and is currently suffering from severe 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.'"

"So, the bottom line is: We know what Trump wants, he wants unchecked power. The question 13 days from now will be, what do the American people want?" Harris said. This is not the first time Harris and other Democrats have warned voters that Trump is a threat, and it certainly won't be the last, but whether it works is another question.

The Guardian reported that although Harris's participation in the campaign in July was warmly welcomed by the Democratic Party and her poll support rate has increased compared to Biden, recent surveys have shown that she is on par with Trump both in swing states and nationwide, and even lags behind Trump in some places.

There has been much speculation about how Harris can turn voters away from Trump, whose campaign has focused on promises to lower prices that have risen during Biden's presidency and to kick illegal immigrants out of the United States. Earlier on the 23rd, in an interview with CNN, well-known Republican pollster Frank Luntz said Harris' message this afternoon did not work.

“Interestingly, when Harris focused on why she should be elected president, her support grew,” Luntz said.

"And then when she turned against Trump and focused on him and said 'don't vote for me, vote against him,' everything froze."
