Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump rallied his Make America Great Again (MAGA) supporters at an event in New York City, once again vowing to crack down on migration while attacking his Democratic rival, Kamala Harris.

He affirmed that Harris, his major opposition is unfit for the presidency.

During his speech at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, Trump repeatedly criticised migrants, pledging to fulfil his campaign promise of conducting the largest deportation operation in US history if he wins the election.

“November 5 will be the most important date in the history of our country, and together, we will make America powerful again,” said Trump.

He said the nation was struggling with economic and social issues and expressed readiness to tackle same.

Trump was joined by several Republicans and allies at the event, many of whom launched personal attacks on Harris.

One speaker referred to her as “the devil,” and the rhetoric against migrants, immigrant communities, and perceived political opponents was incendiary.

Trump also laid the blame for the country’s problems at Harris’s feet, calling her a “radical left Marxist,” labelling her unintelligent, and claiming she was “unfit” for the presidency.

“You’ve destroyed our country,” he said, addressing the vice president directly.

The rally occurred just nine days before Americans head to the polls on November 5 to choose their next president. Polls show Trump and Harris in a tight race for the White House.

The election is focused on seven critical battleground states, including Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, where the contest remains too close to call.

Meanwhile, Harris was campaigning in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on Sunday, making stops at a church, a barbershop, and a Puerto Rican restaurant, before spending time with youth basketball players at a local community centre.
