Former President Donald Trump torched Vice President Kamala Harris as not very nice and not very bright the day after President Joe Biden abruptly dropped his re-election bid and endorsed her as his replacement.
“There are two words to describe Kamala Harris: vicious and dumb. It’s a bad combination,” Trump told the New York Post on Monday.
He also ripped the presumptive Democratic nominee on his Truth Social platform, slamming her failure to stem the daily border invasions.
“Lyin’ Kamala Harris, the Biden appointed ‘Border Czar’ who never visited the Border, and whose incompetence gave us the WORST and MOST DANGEROUS Border anywhere in the World, has absolutely terrible pole numbers against a fine and brilliant young man named DONALD J. TRUMP!” the Republican presidential nominee wrote Monday night.
Biden dropped out of the presidential race on Sunday despite repeatedly insisting that he would stay in the race. The news came in a letter shared on social media.

Soon afterward, he endorsed his vice president to replace him at the top of the Democratic ticket.
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best… pic.twitter.com/x8DnvuImJV

Almost immediately after the bizarre announcement, the Trump campaign fired off an ad targeting Harris.
Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline. Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead. pic.twitter.com/H3Oyew0ug9

Let’s be honest: Mocking Harris is too easy, given her dismal lack of actual “accomplishments” and embarrassing word salads.
Then there’s her shrill, inappropriate cackling, which is more annoying than nails on a chalkboard.
2+ minutes of Kamala cackling.

Curiously, Biden has remained out of sight since exiting the race, fueling conspiracy theories about what’s happening behind the scenes.
The NY Post and other outlets are reporting that Joe Biden agreed to withdraw after Democrats threatened removal under the 25th Amendment. That allowed for succession by defenestration for Harris … but leaves lingering questions under the 25th. https://t.co/y5ICR6wRwR

Interestingly, former President Barack Obama had not endorsed Harris as of early Tuesday, spawning speculation about whether she will remain the Democratic nominee.
This is one of the craziest election cycles in American history. The public is in the dark about what’s really going on and who’s actually running the White House.
“Tucker, look at how fast these elected delegates are shifting their support to Kamala Harris overnight. These are the pro-democracy people?”

The Democratic National Convention kicks off on Aug. 19, so a flurry of rushed activity will undoubtedly take place before then to consolidate support for whoever the nominee is.
Republicans shouldn’t get complacent simply because Democrats are mired in chaos. After all, it was just 10 days ago that Trump survived an assassination attempt.
