Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday criticized Democratic rival Kamala Harris' crime and safety record during a campaign stop in Howell, Michigan. The event drew scrutiny due to Howell's historical ties to the Ku Klux Klan, especially after a recent local white supremacist rally.

The Harris campaign criticized Trump for not condemning the recent display of racism and antisemitism in Howell. Trump remained silent on the matter during his 45-minute speech, focusing instead on his promises to curb crime and secure the borders.

Trump's visit is part of a strategic push in battleground states ahead of the November election, where Harris is poised as the Democratic nominee. Despite past controversial remarks, Trump's campaign aims to appeal to key demographics by emphasizing safety and security issues.
