On Wednesday, Kamala Harris went on ABC's the view and questioned Donald Trump's character in the face of his recent claims that the White House is diverting disaster relief aid to unrelated migrant programs, which have been debunked by FEMA. "I fear that he really lacks empathy on a very basic level to care about the suffering of other people," said Harris, adding that "the role of a leader is not to beat people down, it's to lift people up especially in a time of crisis."
On Thursday, however, a poll by Gallup revealed that voters don't seem to have the same opinion of the former president as Trump has a comfortable lead over Harris when it comes to leadership as a personal quality. Nearly 60% of respondents said the GOP presidential nominee is a strong and decisive leader compared to 48% of voters who said the same about Harris. Roughly 61% of respondents also said Trump "can get things done" compared to 49% who say the Democratic nominee can.
