Kamala Harris became sixty-year-old on Sunday, but it is the age of Donald Trump that she especially wants to talk about, his rival for the White House being according to her “unstable” and too worn out to lead the United States again.

16 days before the presidential election, the Democratic vice-president and the 78-year-old Republican billionaire are working hard in a hectic and increasingly tense race.
Kamala Harris therefore has a busy schedule for her birthday: she first plans to attend two religious services on Sunday in the Atlanta area.
Churches attended by the African-American population, a category of voters who are predominantly Democratic, but among whom the vice-president records disappointing voting intentions. The candidate will be joined by Stevie Wonder, a huge African-American star.
Trump at McDonald’s
Sunday will then see the two candidates oppose each other remotely in Pennsylvania, which is a royal trophy among the seven key states where the presidential election on November 5 will be played.
Donald Trump will go to a McDonald’s, to briefly play the role of an employee, in order to mock Kamala Harris who, according to him, is lying when she claims to have worked in her youth in a fast-food restaurant of this chain.
After having poisoned the campaign of outgoing President Joe Biden, to the point of causing his premature withdrawal from the competition in July, the question of age now places Donald Trump on the defensive.
“Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unfit” to exercise the presidential function, the vice-president declared on Saturday, repeating an angle of attack already used this week.
In Atlanta, she accused her opponent of “dodging debates and canceling interviews due to exhaustion.”
“When he answers a question or speaks at a gathering, have you noticed that he tends to go off script, ramble, and generally not be able to finish an idea?” she said. “He calls it his flow, but to us it’s nonsense.”
During this time the septuagenarian lasted more than an hour and a half on stage in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, alternating between anecdotes, personal attacks, promises and showings of campaign clips.
Kamala Harris is a “failure who has less energy than a rabbit,” he said this week. On Saturday, he went further, in a diatribe against his rival.
“You’re a shitty vice president. The worst. You’re fired. Get out of here,” he told the crowd, encouraging his voters to send him this message at the polls.
Musk’s Checks
On October 12, the Democrat released a complete medical report, which described her as being in “excellent health.” An act of transparency that his opponent refuses to do, who would be the oldest American president to take the oath of office in the event of victory. Since then, the vice-president has never lost an opportunity to fuel a debate on the abilities of her opponent, who has ruled out the idea of a second televised debate against her.
On Tuesday, she questioned the 70-year-old’s mental acuity after he cut short a public question-and-answer session with voters in Pennsylvania the previous evening, preferring instead to belt out his favorite songs while standing up and rocking, microphone in hand.
The outcome of the presidential election remains more undecided than ever, with Donald Trump and Kamala Harris neck and neck in the polls.
To grab valuable votes likely to make a difference, the former can count on the growing involvement of Elon Musk.
The wealthy boss of Tesla and SpaceX is now doing more than calling the shots on social networks and putting his hand in his wallet: he is physically campaigning for Donald Trump.
Since Thursday, we have seen him crisscrossing Pennsylvania where he is offering $100 to each voter willing to sign a pro-Trump petition.
On Saturday, he even presented a check for one million dollars to one of the signatories during a question-and-answer session in Harrisburg.
Kamala Harris benefited from public support on Saturday from two other popular artists, rapper Lizzo and RnB singer Usher.
