MILWAUKEE: Former US President Donald Trump came under fire for violent statement targeting a high-profile Republican supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris Friday as both candidates held rallies in critical Rust Belt battlefield states four days before the climax of a volatile presidential campaign.
Over 68 million US citizens have already cast their votes ahead of Election Day on Tuesday. Opinion polls suggest Harris and Trump running dead even, with win depending on who prevails across the seven swing states, including Michigan and Wisconsin. Harris and Trump held a full day of campaign events, ending with rallies in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trump said that everything they have been fighting for these last four years comes down to the next four days.
Vice President Kamala Harris — who only had entered the presidential race in July following Biden dropped out amid fears over his health fitness– was to be joined by star Cardi B in the latest of a series of high-energy election rallies.

Earlier, Kamala Harris criticized Donald Trump for using “violent rhetoric” when talking about one of his Republican critics.
Donald Trump had “suggested rifles must be trained on former representative Liz Cheney,” Kamala Harris told reporters in Wisconsin.
Speaking to media persons following arriving in Wisconsin, the Vice President asked voters to consider who they would prefer sitting in at the White House, driving the message she has been emphasizing in the campaign’s closing week. She called Cheney “a true patriot” and stated that Donald Trump “has amplified his violent rhetoric.”
On the other hand, Donald Trump and his supporters say his remarks are being misconstrued. They say Donald Trump was arguing that Cheney is a “war hawk”.
