WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris traveled to a Philadelphia suburb Wednesday evening for a CNN town hall, where she faced questions from undecided voters. The event was organized after Donald Trump refused to participate in a second debate with her.

Less than two weeks before the election, here are some highlights from the town hall.

Harris says Trump is a fascist

She leaves no doubt that she believes her opponent can be characterized by far-right authoritarian ideology.

When asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper if she thought Trump was a fascist, Harris responded bluntly.

“Yes, I do,” she said. “Yes I do.”

His response came shortly after John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, used the same term to describe the Republican candidate.

Harris’ comments were a bolder version of a response she gave in an interview last week.

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God called Trump’s view of the country fascism and asked, “Why can’t we just say it?”

“Yes, we can say that,” Harris said.

Harris widens her rift with Biden

Since catapulting to the top of the Democratic ticket, the vice president has struggled to ask how she is different from President Joe Biden. Harris is reluctant to distance herself from him, even though voters appear eager for a change in direction.

However, Biden recently gave her the rhetorical green light to break further with him, saying she would “chart her own path” if elected.

Harris seems to have timidly seized this opportunity. She said repeatedly Wednesday night that she would propose “a new approach” to government on aged care and reducing costs for consumers.

“I won’t hesitate to say, hey, these are still issues that we need to address,” Harris said.

Harris talks about his personal faith

The vice president doesn’t usually talk about her religion, but she revealed more during the town hall.

Cooper asked Harris to reflect on the day Biden abandoned his re-election bid and supported her, particularly a call she had with her pastor.

“I needed that advice,” she said of her conversation with the Rev. Amos Brown in San Francisco. “I needed a prayer.”

She also said, “I pray every day, sometimes twice a day. »

Harris said she was raised to believe that “your faith is a verb,” ​​meaning it’s important to put your beliefs into action to help others.

Harris’ background and personal life involve a mixture of religions. She once spoke about attending services at a Baptist church and a Hindu temple while growing up in California. Her husband, Doug Emhoff, is Jewish.

Harris was asked about her weaknesses

Candidates spend a lot of time talking about their strengths, which is why one of the voters asked Harris about her weaknesses.
