Harris calls Trump 'unhinged', will deliver 'closing argument' at Capitol siege site

Vice President Kamala Harris outlined plans to make her "closing arguments" against former president Donald Trump next Tuesday by returning to the site near the Whie House where Trump addressed supporters before they stormed the Capitol in January 2021.

Kamala Harris on Wednesday said Donald Trump was "increasingly unhinged" and called her US election rival's reported praise for Adolf Hitler "incredibly dangerous," as campaigning intensified ahead of the November 5 vote.

The Democrat's fierce criticism came as she headed to must-win Pennsylvania to face voters' questions in a town hall and as Trump campaigned in battleground Georgia.

With polls suggesting a tight election in its final stretch, Harris also unveiled plans for a "closing argument" rally on Tuesday at the Washington site where Trump addressed supporters before they stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Harris's comments on Trump were provoked by revelations from his longest-serving chief of staff, John Kelly, who discussed the Republican's praise for the Nazi dictator and his military in World War II.

Kelly told The New York Times that Trump remarked that "Hitler did some good things too" and that instead of the US military, he "wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had."

"Knock wood, God willing, we are going to win," she said to cheers.
