Former President Donald Trump made baseless claims on Friday, alleging that Vice President Kamala Harris was responsible for a federal judge's ruling that halted a Virginia program aimed at purging voter rolls of potential noncitizens. The judge's decision was criticized by Trump as 'election interference' and 'unconstitutional' during a public event in Austin, Texas.
Trump praised Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin for his efforts to address the issue, stating that the judge's ruling was a threat to democracy. He accused Vice President Harris of being 'behind' the decision without providing any evidence to support his claim.
The program in question targeted individuals who were suspected of being noncitizens based on certain indicators. The judge's decision to halt the program was met with strong opposition from Trump, who characterized it as un-American and a form of election interference.
It is important to note that Trump's allegations against Vice President Harris lack substantiated evidence and have not been corroborated by any credible sources. The claims made by the former president raise concerns about the spread of misinformation and the potential impact on public discourse.
