Donald Trump said adviser Ivanka Trump would be a better candidate for president than Kamala Harris
Washington:
Kamala Harris “is not competent” to be president, said US President Donald Trump, launching an attack on the credentials of the Indian-born senator.
Addressing supporters at a Republican campaign rally in New Hampshire on Friday, Donald 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 better. candidate for that position.
Kamala 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 presidential candidate, chose her as his running mate in the Nov.3 election.
Born to a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, Kamala 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 want to see the first female president as well, but I don’t want a female president to fill that position the way she would, and she is not competent,” said Donald Trump.
“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,” he said in response to his followers.
This was Trump’s first election rally after he formally accepted the GOP nomination for the presidential election on Thursday.
Donald Trump said that Kamala Harris withdrew from the Democratic Party presidential race before the primary season began as her popularity fell to the 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 few months, she’s down, down 15, 12, 11, nine, eight, five, three, two, “he said, underscoring Kamala Harris’s decline in popularity in the few months after her 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 could emerge as a Democratic presidential candidate in 2024.
In attacking Joe Biden, Donald Trump said he is running on the most extreme, far-left platform of any nominee in American 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 Donald Trump delivered his acceptance speech from the South Lawn of the White House, Kamala Harris claimed that the president’s policies have been “a reckless disregard” for the danger a pandemic would pose to the lives of Americans.
He said Donald Trump has “failed in the most basic and important job of a president of the United States. He failed to protect the American people.”
