Donald Trump in a charged address to supporters in Atlanta, Georgia, declared, "I'm not a Nazi," as he sought to counter accusations of authoritarianism from critics, including a former chief of staff who recently labelled him a fascist . He claimed that the "outrageous rhetoric" from the Harris campaign has likely contributed to two assassination attempts on him in the past three months.
"My father used to always say, never use the word Nazi. never use the word Hitler. And yet they use that word freely, both words. They use it, he's Hitler. And then they say he's a Nazi. I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi," the former president added.
"This is the kind of outrageous rhetoric that has resulted in two assassination attempts in the last three months," he added.
The former president also addressed the topic of fatigue, saying that despite campaigning for 58 consecutive days, he does not feel tired. He contrasted this with Kamala, who he claimed took days off during the campaign, alleging, "she's taking a day off. Like, a couple of days ago, she took, like, two days off in a row."
Concerns surrounding Trump's rhetoric have intensified, particularly after retired General John Kelly, Trump's longest-serving chief of staff, stated in a recent interview that the former president fits the definition of a fascist.
Tensions have soared as polls indicate a tightly contested race, fuelled by fears that Trump may once again refuse to accept defeat, as he did in 2020. The campaign has been further complicated by troubling reports of ballot box fires in competitive districts in Washington and Oregon, raising concerns about election integrity .
During his rally, Trump again targeted Harris, calling her a "hater," and urged his supporters to "get out and vote." He promised that, with their help, "eight days from now we're going to defeat Kamala." Meanwhile, Harris has been actively campaigning in Michigan, emphasising unity and condemning Trump's divisive rhetoric. "He is focused... on dividing our country," she said.
With early voting well underway, more than 47 million Americans have cast their ballots. The stakes are particularly high in Georgia, one of seven swing states that could ultimately determine the outcome of the election. Trump is actively courting key voter demographics, including religious groups, asserting, "I think this is a country that needs religion," and framing Harris's administration as a threat to traditional values.
Harris is set to deliver a "closing argument" in Washington, a location imbued with historical significance after Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

The newest line from Kamala and her campaign is that everyone who isn’t voting for her is a Nazi.
