Trump Criticizes Harris, Predicts Easy Win in November
Former President Donald Trump expressed strong criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris during a media call this week, asserting that she would be easy to defeat in the next presidential election due to what he said were her serious weaknesses and radical policies.
Trump made his critical comments about Harris and his prediction of his own victory after President Joe Biden announced his decision to withdraw from the presidential race, making the VP the expected Democrat nominee, as Axios reports.
On Tuesday afternoon, Trump held a conference call organized by Breitbart News. He addressed various reporters along with Paul Perez and Brandon Judd, both associated with the National Border Patrol Council.
During this call, Trump discussed multiple points regarding Harris' past political performances and her current role.
Critical Analysis of Harris's Political Path
Trump referred to Harris’s attempt at the 2020 presidential campaign, emphasizing her premature exit. According to Trump, Harris "never even made it to Iowa." He mentioned that her initial popularity waned quickly as the campaign progressed.
He highlighted specific instances from the debates, claiming Harris was significantly impacted negatively by her opponents.
Trump explicitly pointed out the debate encounters with Tulsi Gabbard, which he described as particularly damaging. "She was decimated in the debates," Trump remarked.
Furthermore, Trump was puzzled by Harris's selection as Biden's vice president, stating, "She was, by far, the nastiest to Joe Biden." He expressed his surprise at Biden's decision to choose her, given their contentious interactions during the primaries.
Trump Continues Critique of Harris' Policies
Trump continued to critique Harris by discussing her role as the border czar. Harris has been overseeing border issues since March 2021, a responsibility appointed to her by President Biden. Trump scrutinized her management of the border situation, suggesting that it contributed to her unsuitability in handling pressing national concerns.
In the call, Trump also touched upon Harris' reputation for failing under pressure, hinting that this characteristic would not work in her favor in the upcoming election. He labeled her as more radical than Biden, pointing to her stance on issues like open borders and electric car mandates.
Trump Highlights Potential Debate Scenarios
Expressing his confidence for the fall, Trump indicated that he would be willing to debate Harris multiple times. Although there is no formal agreement in place yet for such debates, his statement underscored his preparedness.
Trump's comments also delved into broader political and social impacts, critiquing Harris' previous roles and policies. He referenced her time as the district attorney in San Francisco, suggesting that her tenure had harmful effects on the city.
Harris’s Potential Campaign Challenges Underlined
Throughout the call, Trump reiterated his belief that Harris’ campaign tactics would mirror those that led to her early exit in the 2020 race.
He stressed that the same scenarios could unfold again, given the high stakes of the presidential election compared to her past campaign experiences.
He also alluded to media support, noting that Harris might receive favorable coverage. Despite this, he maintained his stance that her campaign was likely to falter under increased scrutiny.
