LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Election Day is in 22 days and the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump is tighter than ever.
Gov. Andy Beshear, who has been campaigning for Harris and even made it to her VP shortlist, made an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Martha Raddatz and called out misinformation from the former president and his running mate, JD Vance.
Both Trump and Vance have faced scrutiny about misinforming the public about FEMA response in the southeast, particularly in North Carolina.
The Harris campaign has been leaping on these claims, calling Trump a liar and a threat to democracy.
“His lies can hurt people. I mean, lying that $750 is all that’s available, that means that individual might not apply for the $40,000 plus in individual assistance,” Beshear explained. “Like if you truly care about the people that are harmed more than yourself, you wouldn’t politicize this. You wouldn’t be putting out all this misinformation and that’s [coming from] somebody who has led through national disasters. It hurts.”
Raddatz pressed Beshear on several issues including Harris’ policies and if her possible presidency would be different or a continuation of the Biden administration.
He cited Biden’s plans on building a future economy and how Kentucky building two of the biggest battery plants on Earth has happened through Biden’s policies.
