'Kamala Harris owns three homes, her net worth is...': Team Trump tears into VP's 'middle class' statement

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump today slammed Kamala Harris for her statement that she is from a middle class.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump took a dig at Harris while revealing her salary and networth. Trump slammed the US vice president and Democrates' candidate on her policies.

Team Trump posted, "The American Dream right now is really elusive! (After four years of her failed policies)."


"Her taxpayer-funded salary is $284,600/yr, her net worth is ~$10 million, and she owns three homes — one in LeBron James' neighborhood," the post added.

Kamala Harris' mother was Indian and her father Jamaican. Her parents had immigrated to the United States. She is the first woman of colour and the first Asian American vice president.

Trump has been launching personal attacks on Harris by claiming that she, after being of "Indian heritage" for years, "turned black" a few years ago. Trump has also dubbed Harris as a "very low intelligence person" and claiming she has been "missing in action" over the federal response to Hurricane Helene -- even though Harris traveled to the disaster zone last week.

Meanwhile, according to a new poll, Kamala Harris has taken a slim lead over Donald Trump in the US presidential race.

Vice President Harris and Republican former president Trump -- who was doing a three-hit airwaves blitz of his own Tuesday -- are deadlocked as they scramble to get out the vote and reach the sliver of Americans who remain undecided.

The national poll conducted by Siena College and The New York Times found Harris ahead by 49 percent to 46 percent, with registered voters crediting her more than Trump with representing change and caring about people like themselves, but giving the edge to Trump on who is the stronger leader.

The rivals were tied at 47 percent in a mid-September Times/Siena poll shortly after the two clashed in their presidential debate.

The overall result is largely in line with an aggregate of national polling collated by RealClearPolitics.com, which has Harris ahead by two percentage points.

In the seven battleground states seen as likely to determine the election outcome, the race is even tighter.
