US presidential candidate Donald Trump has made the request of his major party colleague Nikki Haley He refused to change his campaign style and avoid personal attacks on his rival Kamala Harris. He was “very angry” with Harris, which is why he felt he was “qualified to make personal attacks,” Trump said at a news conference.
The former president said of Harris that he “didn’t have much respect for his intelligence” and that he would be a “terrible president.” Haley had previously called on Trump to stop personal attacks on Harris and instead focus on substantive debate with the presidential candidate. Democrats Pay attention.
Haley said on right-wing Fox News that she can’t win the election by talking about the color of Harris’ skin or that he’s “stupid.” The former ambassador and ex-governor notes that Trump has repeatedly insulted his rival as unintelligent and questioned his identity as an African-American. Harris is the daughter of a black Jamaican and her mother is from India.
Haley was defeated by Trump in the Republican presidential primary, but she now supports his candidacy. At a news conference at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump said he respected Haley’s advice in responding to his party colleague’s demands, but said he would have to campaign in his own way.
The former president also said he was running a “very quiet campaign”: “There was no shouting. (…) I’m a very quiet person, believe it or not.”
At the same time, the former president said of Harris: “I’m very angry with her for what she did to the country. I’m very angry with her for using the justice system against me and other people.” Trump has been referring to ongoing criminal proceedings against him, which he has repeatedly described as a ploy by Democrats.
Trump accused Harris of “strong communist leanings.”
The 78-year-old said he was personally attacked by Harris, who called him and his running mate JD Vance “weird” (“weird”) represents. trait “weird” The term has been used frequently by Harris and other Democrats to refer to Trump and Vance in recent weeks, but is not considered as derogatory as Trump’s repeated comments about Harris’s lack of intelligence.
At the press conference, Trump again described Harris as a “radical leftist” and described him as having “very strong communist leanings.” The only thing Harris could offer was “horrendous inflation, massive crime and the death of the American dream.”
It was Trump’s second press conference since last week. Trump has been on the defensive on the campaign trail since President Joe Biden announced on July 21 after weeks of debate that he would not run in the November election, and the Democratic Party quickly rallied around Vice President Harris as the new nominee.
Harris is now slightly ahead of Trump in several recent polls. However, he said in a press conference that he is ahead in the polls.
