Trump has a very good reason for this.
Former President Donald Trump recently expressed his reservations about invoking the 25th Amendment against President Biden, cautioning against the prospect of Vice President Kamala Harris assuming office. In a candid interview on “Fox & Friends,” Trump emphasized that Biden’s tenure in office is limited, suggesting it would be imprudent to trigger the 25th Amendment with just a few months remaining in his term.
“I don’t think they should use the 25th Amendment. We’re talking about four months here, maybe a bit more,” Trump remarked, pivoting to critique Vice President Harris. He described her as “far left” and criticized her suitability for the presidency, labeling her as “worse” than Biden himself. Trump characterized Harris as a “San Francisco radical” and questioned her competency, asserting that she has not lived up to expectations.
When questioned about the viability of Harris as president, Trump bluntly stated, “No,” citing concerns about her political ideology and past performance. He recalled their interactions during the 2020 primary debates, criticizing her treatment of Biden and questioning why he would choose someone who had been critical of him in the past.
Trump also responded to recent remarks from Harris, where she referred to him as a “predator.” He dismissed her comments as “disgusting” and reaffirmed his stance against what he views as unwarranted attacks from his political opponents.
The interview came amidst broader accusations from Trump and his supporters, including JD Vance, who accused the Democratic Party of orchestrating a “coup” against Biden. Vance argued that if Biden is unable to continue as president due to mental incapacity, invoking the 25th Amendment should be done transparently and without political bias.
In conclusion, Trump’s comments underscored his skepticism towards Harris assuming the presidency and his continued critique of the Biden administration’s leadership. As the political landscape evolves heading towards the next election cycle, such statements are likely to contribute to ongoing debates about the future of American politics.
