Trump Reacts to Biden's Withdrawal, Endorses Harris as Democratic Nominee
Former President Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 reelection bid, criticizing both Biden and Kamala Harris. Biden, who faced pressure after a poor debate performance, endorsed Harris for the Democratic nomination. Trump called Biden unfit for presidency and described Harris as more liberal and less competent.
Former President Donald Trump, on Sunday, reacted sharply to Joe Biden's decision to end his reelection bid. Trump asserted that the incumbent president is "certainly not fit to serve." Biden announced his withdrawal following significant pressure from Democrats after a lackluster debate performance against Trump last month.
In his withdrawal announcement, Biden endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris as the new Democratic nominee. Trump criticized Biden's presidency, stating, "Biden was not fit to run for President and is certainly not fit to serve - And never was! He only attained the position by lies and Fake News." Trump posted on Truth Social, alleging that media and his associates overlooked Biden's incapability.
Trump, 78, claimed that the country will quickly fix the damages caused by Biden's presidency. In a subsequent phone call to CNN, Trump described Biden as the "single worst president by far in the history" of the U.S. Trump Jr. also attacked Harris, describing her as more liberal and less competent than Biden, attributing the immigration crisis to her policies.
