Former President Donald Trump said the “contrast” between himself and Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election “could not be more stark.”
During a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Trump said he and Harris could not be more different, saying there is a candidate on one side “who is fake” and a candidate on another side who will “fight” for the United States.
“The contrast could not be more stark,” Trump told the crowd. “On the one hand, you have a radical left puppet candidate who is fake, fake, fake. And, on the other hand, you have a president who will fight, fight, fight for America.”

After Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, leaving the former president shot by “a bullet that pierced the upper part” of his right ear, Trump was seen standing up, with blood on his head, raising his fist and mouthing the words, “fight” three times.
In response to Trump’s words, several people responded by echoing Trump’s sentiment of how the election was “fake, fake, fake v. fight, fight fight!”
“FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT for America,” Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) wrote in a post on X.

“Let’s just talk about the contrast between not just these two visions, but four years of Kamala Harris’s governance and four years of Donald Trump’s,” Vance told the crowd. “Kamala Harris’s vision is open American borders and close American factories.
