Trump rallies in Pennsylvania, attacks Harris over border securit
Former president makes first appearance in battleground state since attempted assassination
Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. president Donald Trump held a rally in Harrisburg, Pa., on Wednesday, attacking the Democrats' immigration record just a few hours after he questioned the racial identity of Vice-President Kamala Harris.
The rally is being held indoors at the state capital's New Holland Arena. Trump was onstage just after 7 p.m. ET.
"As you know, this is my first return to Pennsylvania since the rally in Butler," he said.
"Eighteen days ago, we had a very terrible day. We had a rough day, I will tell you by all accounts. I should not be with you today. I shouldn't be with you, but I am."
During a tense event with the U.S. National Association of Black Journalists earlier Wednesday, Trump suggested Harris used to identify as South Asian but had adopted her identity as a Black woman for political advantage.
"She was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she became a Black person," Trump said of Harris, whose father was Black and whose mother was Indian American.
