Former President Donald Trump has ramped up his attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, labeling her “vicious and dumb” in an interview with The Post. The comments mark a sharp escalation in his rhetoric against the potential Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election.
At a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump declared, “Just like she destroyed San Francisco, she will destroy our entire country.” The statement, referencing Harris’ time as San Francisco’s district attorney, could indicate Trump’s strategy of linking Harris to perceived failures in urban governance.
Trump’s comments come amid a broader effort by his campaign to paint Harris as a radical leftist and incompetent leader.
Taking to social media, Trump stated, “As you know, 3 days ago we officially defeated the worst president in the history of our country…now we have a new victim to defeat, Lying Kamala Harris, the most incompetent and far-left vice president in American history.”
Harris has responded to Trump’s attacks with her own criticisms, framing her campaign against him as a choice between the future and a dark past. Democrats have rallied behind Harris, emphasizing her role as the first woman of color to be nominated for vice president by a major party.
