London Mayor Sadiq Khan said he's concerned about his safety if Donald Trump wins the U.S. presidential election and that the Labour Party should support the campaign of Kamala Harris, The New Statesman reported.
"The last time we had a Trump presidency, as a matter of public record, there was a massive increase in hate crime towards me," Khan told the publication. "I worry about what a second Trump presidency would mean for me and my family, but I'm not going to allow these people to cower me. It makes me even more determined to do my job."
Even though he new government of Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer has tried to take a neutral stance in the U.S. presidential race, Khan said that it should openly support Vice President Kamala Harris.
Khan, who who has a long history of public arguments with Trump, told The New Statesman that the Labour Party is "a social democratic party. I want the Democrats to win. It's no secret many Labour Party members go and volunteer for the Democrats during presidential elections. We shouldn't pretend otherwise. Many of my staffers helped all three: Obama, Clinton and Biden."
Khan added: "I've been so impressed with Tim Walz. It just shows the judgment that Kamala Harris has in relation to her choice for vice-president. Compare and contrast that with the choice made by the other guy, in J.D. Vance."
