Former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president, told Breitbart News on a conference call with reporters on Tuesday afternoon that Vice President Kamala Harris will not “be too tough” to beat if she remains true to form as politically weak as she has been in the past.
Trump held a press call on Tuesday to focus on Harris’s abysmal record as outgoing Democrat President Joe Biden’s border czar. Biden appointed Harris to oversee the border in March 2021, at the beginning of Biden’s administration, and she has overseen the influx of millions and millions of migrants into the country. Trump’s call on Tuesday comes as Harris has essentially wrapped up the Democrat nomination for president less than 48 hours after Biden announced he was dropping out of the race on Sunday afternoon, as Democrats have decided against any open process and instead just chosen to coronate Harris as their candidate. Trump held the press call with current and past presidents of the National Border Patrol Council Paul Perez and Brandon Judd to explain Harris’s radical policies. At the end of the call, Trump took questions from a number of reporters, including from Breitbart News, which asked Trump if he thinks Democrats who panicked to push Biden out of the race will regret doing so come election day, given Harris’s radical record on things like immigration policy.
Trump said in response that Harris’s failed 2020 presidential campaign proves how weak she is as a candidate.
“She ran for president, and she failed badly. She never even made it to Iowa,” Trump replied. “She started off, she had little name value, from a large place, as you know, from California, and she had a little name value. The name value didn’t last long because she ended up dropping like a rock as people got to know her. She was decimated in debates by Tulsi, who I know really hit her hard, and others hit her hard. She was decimated in the debates.”
Trump added during his answer that Harris was, during the 2020 primary debates, the “nastiest” of all the candidates to Biden himself.
