Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris criticized former President and Republican candidate Donald Trump for refusing to support raising the minimum wage, emphasizing the importance of this initiative for millions of Americans, RIA Novosti reported on October 22.

"There are many differences between Donald Trump and I, including this issue. I absolutely believe that we must raise the minimum wage. Workers, whether at McDonald's or elsewhere, must be able to provide for their families and themselves in conditions that meet their basic needs," Vice President Kamala Harris said at a campaign event in Michigan on October 21 (local time).

Ms. Harris also pointed to Mr. Trump’s hostility toward Social Security, noting that “from the minimum wage to Social Security, Mr. Trump clearly does not understand the needs of American workers.”

Responding to a question about how she hopes to win over women who previously voted for Donald Trump, Kamala Harris stressed the importance of fighting to protect democracy in the US, recalling that Trump has been repeatedly called a “fascist”.

“This choice is about where we end up: on a new path, or back into the division, hatred and chaos that Donald Trump symbolizes,” Harris said, adding that she is winning more supporters on both sides of the political spectrum in the US.
