NEW DELHI: The Trump-Vance 2024 campaign has accused the Harris-Walz team of soliciting foreign interference in the upcoming presidential election. Co-manager of the Trump-Vance campaign, Susie Wiles, issued a statement on Monday denouncing what she described as “illegal foreign assistance” from the British Labour Party, suggesting it is part of an attempt to sway American voters in key battleground states.
Wiles linked the Harris-Walz campaign’s policies to those of the British far-left Labour Party, accusing them of using their influence to assist Kamala Harris in her bid for the White House. According to the statement, representatives from the Labour Party have allegedly been dispatched to the U.S. to campaign on Harris’s behalf in crucial regions, a move the Trump camp is framing as a serious violation of American sovereignty.
“The Harris campaign’s acceptance and use of this illegal foreign assistance is just another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference,” Wiles said. She also emphasized that President Trump, if re-elected, would restore America’s strength and prioritize its people, positioning the Harris-Walz campaign’s alliances as a direct threat to the country’s independence.
The Trump-Vance campaign has escalated the issue by filing a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), accusing Harris-Walz of receiving unlawful foreign contributions from the United Kingdom’s Labour Party. This complaint includes allegations that Labour Party members have been actively working to influence the U.S. election, violating laws prohibiting foreign entities from participating in American political campaigns.
The Trump-Vance team’s messaging is clear: foreign involvement, particularly from the United Kingdom, could jeopardize the integrity of the U.S. electoral process. Their slogan for this latest controversy, “The British Are Coming,” evokes imagery of historic battles for American independence and sets a tone of defiance against what they see as external meddling.
This development is likely to add more tension to the already heated 2024 presidential race. With less than two weeks until Election Day, both sides are vying to consolidate their bases and sway undecided voters. The accusation of foreign interference is a critical charge that could shape the narrative of the campaign’s final days, as voters assess the implications of such involvement in their choice for president.
Representatives from the Harris-Walz campaign have yet to officially respond to the allegations, but political pundits expect the issue to be addressed in upcoming rallies and debates.
