WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday put Donald Trump’s praise for Adolf Hitler, according to his own onetime chief of staff, front and center into the 2024 presidential race.

“It is deeply troubling and incredibly dangerous that Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the deaths of 6 million Jews and hundreds of thousands of Americans,” Harris said in remarks to reporters, just hours after John Kelly went public with his account.

“We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power,” she added.

Kelly, a former Marine and the longest-serving chief of staff during Trump’s four-year term, gave interviews to The Atlantic magazine and The New York Times, which both published his remarks late Tuesday.
