Harris spoke on Thursday at a university football stadium in Clarkson, a suburb of Atlanta. She presented Americans with the choice between fighting for citizens' rights and Trump's authoritarian vision.

- Just imagine the Oval Office in three months. Picture it in your mind (...). It’s either Donald Trump in there, stewing, stewing over his enemies list, or me working for you, checking off my to-do list. You have the power to make that decision - said Harris. She also referenced reports that her rival claimed Hitler "did some good things".

Among the speakers before Harris were Barack Obama and Bruce Springsteen. Obama referred to the recent visit by Trump at McDonald's, where he fried chips for selected customers.

- Kamala Harris is somebody who was raised in the middle class. She worked at McDonald's in college to pay her expenses. She didn’t pretend to work there when it was closed - Obama said. Springsteen, on the other hand, stated he supports Harris because he "wants a president who reveres the constitution" and "is running (not) to be an American tyrant".

America a "garbage can for the world"?

Trump appeared on Thursday at rallies in Tempe - a suburb of Phoenix - and in Las Vegas, Nevada. He focused on immigration issues and plans for mass deportations of millions of illegal immigrants. He claimed that by accepting immigrants, America becomes a "garbage can for the world".

The Republican candidate announced his intention to use an 1798 law regarding the deportation of citizens from hostile countries, to remove foreign criminals from America, calling them "animals".

- I will invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 18– no, of 1798. Think of that, 1798. That’s when we had real politicians that said, ‘We are not gonna play games.’ We have to go back to 1798 - Trump complained.

The former U.S. President again called the press "enemies of the people," a phrase known from his first term.
