Former President Donald Trump told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Friday that Vice President Kamala Harris would “be better” as president than President Joe Biden.
During an interview with Trump on The Hugh Hewitt Show, Hewitt asked, “Mr. President, if people vote for Joe Biden, are they really voting for Kamala Harris?”
Trump replied, “I think so. I mean, let’s see what happens. I’m not sure that he gets to the starting gate, to be honest. I don’t know. I would guess at the starting gate, but certainly, I think so.”
The former president continued:
It seems like he’s locked into her for a lot of reasons. He has to choose her. I understand. It would seem like the Democrats, if he doesn’t run, have to run her. That’s what all of the professionals like you are saying. I’m not sure that that’s correct, but that’s what they’re saying. Yeah, you’re locked into her. And she might be, I can’t say worse. I think she’d be better than him, actually. I actually think that. I don’t think you can have worse than him.
Trump made similar comments during an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson in August.
“She has some bad moments. Her moments are almost as bad as his, I think his are worse actually,” Trump said at the time.
A November poll published by the New York Times found that Harris would fare even worse than Biden against Trump in 6 battleground states.
