Former President Donald Trump said during an interview this week that Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris is not giving interviews with the media because she is not able to answer questions about her abysmal record. Trump made the remarks during a Fox News interview on Wednesday as Harris has avoided questions in the weeks following President Joe Biden announcing that he is not running for re-election.
Trump said that Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) would have been a much stronger pick for Harris rather than far-Left Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
He said that virtually all of the candidates she could have picked were better than her, “except this one.”
“She’s the worst of the group and she’s the one that’s leading it. Look at this decision. This is a really bad decision for the country,” he said. “You know, ultimately, I want the country to have good decisions because ultimately what we want is for the country to do well. The country can’t do well with these two people. They’re very similar, and you know, you would have thought she would have reached out and got somebody that’s got some difference.”
“Because her record on security is horrible. She was a border czar, which she doesn’t admit it now. You know, the only thing they have going is the media will play off all of the bad things, bad things that happened during her term,” he continued. “She was so bad that five weeks ago, they wanted to remove her because she was unthinkable to be president. They were going to go with anyone. And then they were afraid that they would offend people if they did that.”

“She’s so bad,” he concluded. “She’s incompetent. And after they studied it a little bit, they realized it’s not going to be so easy to do. So they say, ‘Well, look, the press is going to do whatever we want,’ because the press is a rigged deal.”
On the subject of Harris avoiding the media, Trump said: “She would never do an interview like this that I can get with any network. She doesn’t do interviews because she can’t answer questions. I don’t know how she debates.”
“I hear she’s sort of a nasty person, but not a good debater,” Trump said. “But we’ll see, because we’ll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future. It’s gonna be announced fairly soon, but we’ll be debating her.”
