Donald Trump expressed surprise at the fact that a woman, Vice President Kamala Harris, was performing better in the presidential race than Joe Biden had been. He made these comments during an appearance on Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” where he discussed Harris taking over Biden’s campaign.
Trump criticized Harris for her lack of interest in interviews and knowledge about the economy, suggesting that it could become a problem. Despite this, he acknowledged that Biden was advised to drop out of the race before Harris took over and that she has managed to outperform him.
The Harris campaign shared a clip of Trump’s remarks, highlighting the shift in momentum when Biden endorsed Harris after exiting the race in July.
In the latest national polling average by FiveThirtyEight, Harris leads Trump by a narrow margin, indicating a closely contested election.
Trump’s history of making controversial remarks about women, along with allegations of sexual assault and a civil case ruling against him for sexual abuse, have contributed to his strained relationships with female opponents and critics.
When faced with Harris as his opponent, Trump appeared unsettled, prompting observations from journalists like Maggie Haberman about his struggles with women opponents, critics, and specifically Black women.
