Former President Trump held a press conference in Bedminster, New Jersey, where he criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, who he claimed has been avoiding the media since becoming the Democratic presidential nominee. Trump accused Harris of hiding and being incompetent, questioning why she had not addressed rising costs under the Biden-Harris administration. He also defended his personal attacks against Harris, citing her previous actions against him and insisting that he was entitled to speak out against her. Despite advice from advisers to focus on branding Harris as an ultra-liberal, Trump continued to criticize her policies and intelligence during the press conference.
During the press conference, Trump emphasized the need to win in order to prevent what he described as the radical left socialist policies of Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who he accused of being “weird.” Trump expressed concern over potential tax increases and border security issues under a Biden-Harris administration, urging voters to be informed about the candidates’ policies. Despite facing legal challenges and opposition, Trump insisted that he was running for the good of the country and hoped for a strong economy even under a Democratic administration.
Trump also shared his belief that God had saved his life during an assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pa., on July 13, describing it as a miracle. He expressed a desire for the country to succeed, even if it made it harder for him to win the election, and criticized the policies of Harris and Walz. Meanwhile, the Harris campaign released a mock email advisory mocking Trump’s upcoming press conference and defending Harris and Walz as advocates for the middle class and freedom. The campaign accused Trump of spreading lies and insults, dismissing his criticisms of their agenda and policies.
Despite being advised to focus on policy differences and branding, Trump continued to personally attack Harris during the press conference, calling her radical and accusing her of incompetence. He defended his attacks by citing Harris’s past actions against him and expressed a strong desire to win the election in order to prevent what he viewed as the destruction of the country by Harris and the Democrats. Trump emphasized the need for strong borders, lower taxes, and a focus on policies that benefit the American people, highlighting his opposition to Harris’s positions on key issues.
In response to questions from the media, Trump further criticized Harris, calling her intelligence into question and labeling her as a potential terrible president. He expressed a lack of respect for Harris and her policies, arguing that she would be damaging to the country’s future. Despite facing legal challenges and opposition, Trump remained determined to win the election and prevent what he viewed as the radical left from gaining power. He continued to campaign against Harris and the Democrats, urging voters to be informed and make decisions that would benefit the country in the long run.
