    Trump suggested Harris trots out A-list celebrities at her rallies in order to draw a crowd and disguise her policy-light campaign during a Monday night event in Pittsburgh.

    Reflecting on Beyonce‘s recent remarks at a Harris event in Houston, Trump noted that the famed artist never sang, saying, “Everyone’s expecting a couple of songs, and there were no songs. There was no happiness. It’s just like, give me my check. I want to get out of here.”

    “Just to bring it back into seriousness, we don’t need a star because we have policy,” the former president told the Pennsylvania crowd, before criticizing the Harris campaign’s stance on illegal immigration and support for transgender policies on allowing biological men to play in women’s sports.

    Harris is holding livestreamed events tonight across battlegrounds with many pop stars, including Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Christina Aguilera.
