During an interview, Trump expressed admiration for Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting she could be a more capable president than Joe Biden. In conversation with host Hugh Hewitt on ‘The Hugh Hewitt Show,’ Trump insinuated Harris’s popularity among those who would vote for Biden. When questioned about whether votes for Biden are essentially for Harris, Trump indicated agreement, stating he’s uncertain if Biden would even start the race.
Trump acknowledged that Biden appears committed to Harris for various reasons, speculating that Democrats might need to run her if Biden doesn’t. Despite uncertainty, Trump asserted that Harris might outperform Biden. Notably, in 2020, Trump criticized Harris for past remarks about Biden, emphasizing her poor performance in the primaries. He accused her of labeling Biden a racist and seeking an apology. Trump’s campaign had previously attacked both Biden and Harris, portraying them as embracing the radical left and dubbing them “Slow Joe and phony Kamala.”
In December 2019, Harris withdrew from the Democratic presidential race due to a lack of financial resources. Trump’s remarks in the interview contrast with his previous criticisms of Harris, suggesting a nuanced perspective on her potential presidency.
