US presidential campaign, VOA: Trump's team is hit by hackers

Former President Donald Trump announced a cyber attack on one of his campaign websites. While details about the case are still emerging, Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance gave several interviews on Sunday in which he attacked the Democratic presidential candidates.

Meanwhile, as Voice of America correspondent Veronica Balderas Iglesias reports, Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz continue their campaign focused on economic issues.

News of the cyberattack on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump continued to dominate press releases hours after he wrote about it Saturday on his social media platform Truth.

He wrote: "We have just been informed by the firm 'Microsoft' that one of our many websites has been attacked by the Iranian government." Iranian officials have denied the allegations.

The documents allegedly obtained included information on Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance. He appeared on Sunday in several media outlets, but questions focused on the presidential race.

On the ABC network, the Ohio senator dismissed criticism of past family statements and redirected attention to the policies of the Democratic candidates.

"Why don't we talk about inflation? Why aren't we talking about the fact that food prices are unaffordable because of Kamala Harris' policies?” Mr. Vance said.

The economy was also a talking point at a rally Saturday for Vice President Harris in Las Vegas.

"My promise when I become president is that we will continue our fight for middle-class families, including raising the minimum wage and eliminating taxes on waiter tips," said Vice President Harris.

The Republican rival made a similar pledge in the past and accused Ms. Harris of stealing his pledge to eliminate taxes on restaurant workers' tips.

Even as calls have increased for Ms. Harris to provide more details about her economic plans, the momentum of the campaign is undeniable, Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar said on ABC.

"She has given heart to the country starting from Philadelphia in Wisconsin to the rally in Arizona with over 15,000 participants. People are interested in moving forward," says Senator Klobuchar.

Ms. Harris will return to Washington on Sunday after a political event in San Francisco. She and President Joe Biden are expected to make a public appearance together Thursday in Maryland
