Obama, Springsteen rally for Harris; Trump Attends Faith Event; Vance, Walz in Wisconsin

Phil McGraw – the television star more commonly known as “Dr. Phil” — said during his rally speech last night that Trump is not a bully. Following his remarks, NBC News asked two Arizonans who support Trump and two Arizonans if they think Trump is a bully.

Both Trump supporters said Trump is not a bully, while both Harris supporters said he is.

“From someone who has been around and been ridiculed and bullied for a long time. I don’t think it’s appropriate to talk like that,” said Benjamin Formisano, reflecting on the bullying he endured growing up as a gay youth.

“I find it hard to believe that you could be the president of the United States and talk and act like that,” added Formisano, a Harris supporter.

“He’s in a position of power, so he should be more reticent about some of the things he says the way he chooses to say them. But no, I think he just has a backbone,” Don Queen, 50, said of why Trump is not a bully.

“The way he talks, the way he makes fun of disabled people. I mean, everything about him, he’s 100 percent a bully,” said Virginia Garcia, a Harris supporter.
