President Trump on Tuesday responded to Kamala Harris pulling her hat out of the ring for the California Governor contest and trolled her for being a “terrible candidate” in 2024.
Harris announced on Wednesday that she will not run for California Governor in 2026, potentially opening her up for a third attempt at the presidency.
President Trump was asked about this move after signing an executive order to reestablish the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, as well as the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools. Trump slammed Harris, saying, “she can’t speak, she can’t talk, she can’t do an interview.”
“I thought she was a terrible candidate,” he said, reflecting on the “very strange” 2024 election, where the Democrats replaced their candidate less than four months before election day. “She didn’t really get the nomination. That whole nomination was strange.”
Additionally, as The Gateway Pundit reported, Harris announced her upcoming “107 Days” memoir will be released on September 23 as the unemployed former Vice President looks to cash in on her failed presidential bid. According to a synopsis, “written with candor, a unique perspective, and the pace of a page-turning novel, 107 Days takes you inside the race for the presidency as no one has ever done before.”
Trump joked that he might actually buy the book, then continued to tear into her for being unskilled and refusing to do interviews as the election got closer. “She didn’t do any interviews or anything, which was strange, not even friendly interviews with friendly reporters like her, right there, really friendly reporter,” he said, pointing at Rachel Scott of ABC, one of the reporters who gave a friendly softball interview to Kamala Harris during the 2024 election cycle.
“She didn’t run a great campaign, but we beat Biden, and then we had to beat– nobody’s beaten two. I had to beat two.”
“It didn’t seem fair to me at the time,” Trump said of the Democrats swapping Biden for Harris after Trump destroyed him in a debate. “But where are we? We’re in the White House. So, I mean, you know, so it worked out.”
WATCH:
Reporter: Kamala Harris, as you know, is not running for Governor of California. She’s not going to do it. What do you see in her political future, sir?
Trump: Well, she can’t speak, she can’t talk, she can’t do an interview. I thought it was a very strange campaign that we had. But, you know, I had two of them. We were up by like this massive number of points on Biden, and they said, let’s change to Kamala. Nobody knew who Kamala was. Nobody knew her last name, Harris. They said we’re going to get Vice President Harris. Everyone said, Who the hell is Harris? They only knew her by the first name.
But no, I thought she was a terrible candidate. Look, don’t forget, she didn’t really get the nomination. That whole nomination was strange. She was the first one out. You know, she took a good, a good amount of points with her when she announced, but nobody knew her, and once they got to know her, she dropped out very shortly after she started… I mean, she– I wouldn’t call her a skilled politician, would you?
Reporter: She’s also coming out with a book. Any plans to buy it?
Trump: I don’t know. I think I’m going to buy it, I’d love to see it– no. Look, I find everything in politics interesting. I sort of enjoy politics. She wasn’t a skilled person. You know, you have skilled politicians, really skilled politicians, and then you have some that aren’t. And she was put in a very tough position, I think. She did have a six-week honeymoon. They told me, the pros said, “You know what? She’s gonna have a six week,” and she did. She was like, untouchable in terms of everybody thought great. But she didn’t do any interviews or anything, which was strange, not even friendly interviews with friendly reporters like her, right there, really friendly reporter.
And you know what happened? People said, What’s wrong with her? Why isn’t she doing? She made a mistake. She should have done interviews. She didn’t run a great campaign, but we beat Biden, and then we had to beat– nobody’s beaten two. I had to beat two. It’s like Dana White, the great Dana White has a fight, and he has a fighter that’s getting the hell knocked out of him, and they say, Well, let’s take him out and put somebody else in. It didn’t seem fair to me at the time, but where are we? We’re in the White House. So, I mean, you know, so it worked out.
