00:00Donald Trump and U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris exchanged heavy barbs as the race to

00:05the White House heats up on Saturday as Trump addressed a Bitcoin conference in Tennessee.

00:12Harris was speaking at a fundraising event in Massachusetts.

00:15Vice President Kamala Harris cast herself as the underdog in the presidential race and

00:21called her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, just plain weird.

00:28While Harris seems to be adopting a new strategy to counter Trump, calling him and his rhetoric

00:33weird.

00:35Weird seems to be the new catch-all of the Democratic camp for describing Trump's aggressive

00:41rhetoric.

00:42We are the underdogs in this race, but this is a people-powered campaign, Harris told

00:48the crowd at the event.

00:50She added that Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about her record and that

00:57some of what he and his running mate are saying, well, is just plain weird, she said.

01:03Meanwhile, Trump, on the other hand, unleashed a barrage of hyperbolic attacks on Harris.

01:09Trump referred to Harris as evil, sick and unhinged as the rivals exchanged simultaneous

01:16barbs from a distance on Saturday.

01:19The duelling appearances have come at the end of a whirlwind week that saw Harris' ascension

01:26as the top Democratic candidate for the White House after President Joe Biden withdrew from

01:31the race.

01:33While speaking at a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, Trump asserted that Harris would destroy the

01:39country, criticizing her on issues ranging from public safety to immigration.

01:46He said, if a crazy liberal like Kamala Harris gets in, the American dream is dead, unquote.

01:53Addressing that, Harris is even worse than Biden.

01:56Trump said, they all say I think he's changed.

01:59No, I haven't changed.

02:01Maybe I've gotten worse, unquote.

02:04Earlier on Saturday, Trump addressed a cryptocurrency conference in Nashville.

02:09He vowed to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, a far cry from his stance

02:14in 2021 when he called Bitcoin a scam.

02:19Kamala Harris' takeover has re-energized a campaign that had faltered badly amid Democrats'

02:25doubt about Biden's chances of defeating Trump or his ability to continue to govern should

02:31he succeed.

02:33Harris, the first black woman and first Asian American to serve as vice president, raised

02:39more than $100 million in 36 hours after Biden decided to drop out of the race.
