Following her initial significant television meeting since securing the Democratic nomination, former president Donald Trump harshly criticized Vice President Kamala Harris. In a social media post on Thursday, Trump accused Harris of “rambling incoherently” during her sit-down with CNN anchor Dana Bash, and questioned her leadership abilities by stating,” She did n’t look like a leader. I do n’t see her handling Kim Jong-un like we did”.
Trump’s analysis centered on Harris’s say that her “values have n’t changed”, which he bitterly agreed with while accusing her of maintaining plans that he argues may result America to a “WASTELAND”. A teaser picture of the meeting, in which Harris addressed her shifting positions on pressing issues like Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, and hydraulic fracturing, gave rise to his comments.
Harris asserted that her main values remain constant in the interview as she defended her shifting policy viewpoints. My beliefs have never changed, she said, reiterating her devotion to addressing climate change through activities like the Green New Deal.” I think that is the most important and most important aspect of my plan perspective and choices,” she said.
Harris made his media looks 39 days after Joe Biden announced he would never run for president again in 2024. Trump and his campaign team had benefited from the pause over the past few months, increasing their advertising exposure, and drawing strong differences between Harris and possible Republican challengers. JD Vance, the Republican vice presidential candidate, even made more press images, implying that Harris was avoiding public attention.
At a protest in La Crosse, Wisconsin, Trump mocked Harris’s discussion both for its content and its physical assessment, questioning her success as a head. ” She did n’t look like a leader to me”, Trump said, doubting her ability to handle international negotiations with leaders such as North Korea’s Kim Jong-un or China’s Xi Jinping.
Trump also praised CNN hosts Dana Bash and Jake Tapper, who had formerly facilitated a dialogue between him and Biden, which heightened tensions within the Democratic Party. Trump’s comments underscore his continuing effort to issue his rivals and influence public opinion as the political climate heats up.
