In a recent speech, former President Donald Trump took aim at Vice President Kamala Harris, asserting that President Joe Biden regrets selecting her as his running mate during the 2020 presidential election. Trump’s comments, made during a rally in New Hampshire, are the latest in a series of criticisms targeting the Biden administration.
“She was the first loser in the primaries, and now, look where we are,” Trump stated, referencing Harris’s early exit from the 2020 Democratic presidential primary race. “Joe Biden probably regrets it every single day that he picked her.”
Trump’s remarks highlight the ongoing scrutiny of Harris’s role and effectiveness as Vice President. Since taking office, Harris has faced criticism from various political quarters, including over her handling of key issues like immigration and voting rights.
According to Trump, Biden’s decision to choose Harris was driven more by identity politics than by her qualifications. “It was all about checking boxes, not about who was best for the country,” Trump claimed, adding that Biden’s administration has been “plagued by incompetence” under Harris’s vice presidency.
The former president’s comments come at a time when speculation is growing about the potential 2024 presidential race. Trump has not yet confirmed his own candidacy, but his continued attacks on Biden and Harris suggest that he is laying the groundwork for another run.
Meanwhile, the White House has not responded to Trump’s latest remarks, but Biden and Harris have previously dismissed such criticisms as politically motivated and unsubstantiated.
As the political landscape heats up, Trump’s sharp rhetoric signals that the battle lines are being drawn for the next election, with Harris likely to remain a focal point of conservative criticism.
