(ProsperNews.net) – During a rally in Traverse City, Michigan, on Friday, former President Donald Trump criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for attending a high-profile event in Houston with Beyoncé while escalating tensions in the Middle East commanded international attention. Trump emphasized that Israel was actively engaged in a major military operation against Iranian targets, underscoring what he called a disconnect between Harris’s priorities and global events.
“She’s out partying,” Trump told supporters, suggesting that, with escalating conflicts abroad, the administration should be more focused on foreign policy than campaign rallies. He went on to describe Harris as “the worst president in the history of our country,” using his characteristic rhetorical style to link her absence to broader criticisms of the administration’s foreign and domestic policies.
Trump’s campaign also released a statement ahead of his Michigan rally, contrasting his Austin visit with Harris’s event in Houston. The statement included a photo of Trump meeting with grieving family members of crime victims allegedly impacted by border policies. Trump claimed Harris’s policies prioritize undocumented immigrants over American citizens, framing the event as evidence of her misaligned priorities.
Meanwhile, Harris’s rally in Houston attracted an estimated 30,000 attendees, with the pop icon Beyoncé making a rare public endorsement. “It’s time for America to sing a new song,” Beyoncé stated, urging voters to support Harris while highlighting themes of freedom and reproductive rights. Harris has frequently used Beyoncé’s music as part of her campaign, particularly the anthem “Freedom,” which has become a rallying call.
Trump extended his critique to Michigan voters, asserting that Harris’s policies had alienated key demographics, including Arab-American and Muslim communities. He suggested that these communities in Michigan are disillusioned with her leadership, especially in the face of rising crime and economic challenges.
With early voting well underway, both campaigns are using events like these to reinforce their contrasting messages on national security, public safety, and family values. The Harris campaign has leaned into celebrity endorsements to appeal to younger and more diverse voter demographics, while Trump has focused on presenting himself as the candidate of stability and control in turbulent times.
