    • Harris strikes measured contrast with Trump's contentious appearance before Black journalists

    WASHINGTON -

    U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris struck a measured tone, even steering clear of mentioning Donald Trump by name Tuesday in an interview with Black journalists that starkly contrasted with the former president's own, highly contentious, recent appearance before the same group.

    The session with the National Association of Black Journalists was one of the few extensive sit-down interviews Harris has done since replacing President Joe Biden atop the Democratic ticket in July. She repeatedly criticized Trump on issues including his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and opposition to abortion access, but was careful to refer to him as the former president and in other ways that avoided naming him directly.

    Trump was ramping up his campaigning, too, after the presidential race was roiled by Sunday's second apparent assassination attempt against him.

    The former president was holding an evening town hall in Flint, Michigan, and has appearances later in the week in New York, Washington and North Carolina. Trump re-upped his past retaliation threats against election workers, donors and others as he tries to stoke fears about the integrity of the upcoming 2024 election.

    He posted Tuesday on his social media site, "Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before."

    Harris has her own stops in Washington, as well as Michigan and Wisconsin in coming days, with the two candidates overlapping in concentrating on the industrial Midwest and Pennsylvania and North Carolina -- all swing areas that could decide an election expected to be exceedingly close.

    Harris answered questions from three association journalists at a small, relatively quiet venue at the Philadelphia studios of public radio station WHYY. That was very different from Trump's addressing the NABJ conference in Chicago in July, when he was antagonistic to the moderators and sparked an uproar by questioning the vice-president's racial identity.

    Her manner was a departure from her campaign rallies, where Harris often receives some of her loudest applause by declaring that her professional background as a prosecutor means, "I know Donald Trump's type."

    Pressed about reports of eroding support among Black male voters, Harris said she wasn't "assuming I'm gonna have it because I'm Black." She ducked a question about whether she'd support efforts by some congressional Democrats for reparations from the government to compensate descendants of slaves for years of unpaid labour by their ancestors.

    Biden has backed the idea of at least studying reparations.

    As for Sunday's incident at Trump's Florida golf course, she said she reached the former president by phone, checking in "to see if he's OK."

    "I told him what I have said publicly, there's no place for political violence in our country," the vice-president said. The White House described the conversation as cordial and brief.

    In an earlier interview released Tuesday, the vice-president told Spanish-language radio host Chiquibaby, "Like all Americans, I'm grateful" Trump was unharmed.

    The former president has claimed, without evidence, that months of criticism against him by Harris and Biden, who call him a threat to American democracy, inspired the latest attack. That's despite Trump's own long history of inflammatory campaign rhetoric and advocacy for jailing or prosecuting his political enemies.

    "I really believe that the rhetoric from the Democrats" is "making the bullets fly. And it's very dangerous. Dangerous for them. It's dangerous for both sides," Trump said in an interview with The Washington Post.

    So far, Biden and Harris have tried to avoid politics in their responses to Sunday's incident, instead condemning political violence of all kinds. The president also urged Congress to increase funding to the Secret Service.

    Authorities say Ryan Wesley Routh camped outside the golf course in West Palm Beach, where Trump was playing on Sunday, for nearly 12 hours with food and a rifle but fled without firing shots when a Secret Service agent spotted and shot at him.

    Subsequently arrested as he drove on the highway, Routh's past online posts suggest he has not been consistent about his politics in terms of supporting Democrats or Republicans. The attack came barely two months after Trump was wounded during a rally in Pennsylvania.

    Trump also met on Tuesday with sheriff's office deputies who activated the highway traffic stop that took Routh into custody

    Trump's running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, said at a Georgia Faith & Freedom Coalition event that "it's popular on a lot of corners of the left to say that we have a both sides problem." But "no one has tried to kill Kamala Harris in the last couple of months, and two people now have tried to kill Donald Trump."

    White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said during her briefing with reporters Tuesday that there should be zero tolerance for violence-inciting rhetoric. She bristled at the suggestion that Biden and Harris have stoked division by calling Trump a threat to democracy, saying that there were concrete examples of the former president being that -- such as when he helped incite an attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

    In response to Vance's comments, Jean-Pierre said, "When you have that type of language out there it's dangerous. It's dangerous because people look up to that particular national leader, and they listen to you." She said such comments open the door for "people to take you very seriously."
