Washington: Kamala Harris “is not competent” to be president, said US President Donald Trump, launching an attack on the credentials of the Indian-origin senator for the highest office. Addressing his supporters at a Republican campaign rally in New Hampshire on Friday, Trump said he would support seeing a female president in the United States, but suggested that his daughter and senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump would be a better candidate. for that position.
Harris, 55, ran for president until last year before dropping out of the race for lack of popular support. Harris returned to the political spotlight after Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, chose her as his running mate in the Nov.3 election. Born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, Harris is the first Native American woman and the first black woman to be elected by a major American political party to the highest office.
“You know I also want to see the first female president, but I don’t want to see a female president get into that position the way she would, and she’s not competent,” Trump said.
“She is not competent,” she said to applause from her supporters, some of whom shouted Ivanka Trump, at an election rally on Friday. “Everyone is saying, ‘we want Ivanka.’ I don’t blame them,” she said in response to her followers. This was Trump’s first election rally after he formally accepted the GOP nomination for the presidential election on Thursday. Trump said Harris withdrew from the Democratic Party presidential race before the primary season began when her popularity dropped to single digits.
“What about her? Pure beauty? Yet what beauty. They choose a woman who starts … She (Harris) starts (her presidential campaign) something strong. She is a favorite. In a period of about months, she’s down, down 15, 12, 11, nine, eight, five, three, two, “he said, underscoring Harris’ slump in popularity in the few months after his impressive campaign launch.
“Then he leaves, I’m going to leave because I have decided that I want to leave. I want to leave. He left (the race for the presidency) because he would not have gotten any votes. It was terrible. And this would be his president possibly. I don’t think so. I don’t think so, “Trump said, speculating that Harris might emerge as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2024. By attacking Biden, Trump said he is running the most extreme and far-left platform of any nominee in US history. .
“And of our foreign adversaries who are devising a plan to destroy America from within, all they have to look at is the Biden-Harris (ticket),” he said. Hours before Trump delivered his acceptance speech from the South Lawn of the White House, Harris alleged that the president’s policies have been “a reckless disregard” of the danger a pandemic would pose to the lives of Americans. She said Trump has “failed in the most basic and important job of a president of the United States. He failed to protect the American people.”
