During the event, Trump criticized Harris, who was in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday and did not have any campaign events.
"She's sleeping right now, she couldn't go on the trail," Trump said. "You know, you'd think when you had 14 days left, you wouldn't be sleeping. She's not doing anything today. I should take one of those; we've gone 52 days in a row."
Trump added, "And I'm going 14 more days, and we're going to have a big victory party, hopefully."
Trump blasted Harris for taking the day off from campaigning, calling her "lazy" and "a radical left lunatic."
"The Latino community knows that President Donald J. Trump is the only candidate who can bring prosperity back to America," the Trump campaign said ahead of Tuesday's event. "That's why they'll turn out in record numbers on November 5th to vote for him to be the 47th President of the United States."
The event comes after a new USA Today/Suffolk University poll showed Trump leading Harris by 11 percentage points with Latino voters.
The poll places Harris at 45% and Trump at 44% nationally, but specifically with Latino voters, Harris has fallen back in support. The new poll showed Latino voters backing Trump with 49% to Harris' 38%.
The poll showed that Black voters prefer Harris by 72% to 17%, but that 55-point edge is significantly less than the advantage Democrats traditionally enjoy.
President Biden benefited from staggering support from Black and Latino voters four years ago. A Pew Research Center analysis found 92% of Black voters and 59% of Latino voters supported Biden in the 2020 race.
Meanwhile, Harris, on Tuesday after the poll came out, posted her plan to "deliver real changes for Latino men and their families," including helping them to get jobs; helping them to grow small businesses with no-interest loans or deferred loan repayments and fully forgivable loans of up to $20,000; providing $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers; expanding the child tax credit; and covering the cost of long-term home care through Medicare.
