Washington: In a brazen attack on the vice president nominee, US President Donald Trump on Tuesday called Kamala Harris the “most horrible” member of the US Senate and said he was “surprised” Joe Biden had picked her as his running mate.
Addressing reporters at the White House, Trump said Harris did not impress him when she was vying for the Democratic nomination in primaries eventually won by Biden.
“She did very very poorly in primaries. I was pretty surprised that he picked her. She was very nasty to Joe Biden and it is hard to pick somebody who is that disrespectful,” President Donald Trump said.
He added that during the bruising 2018 Senate confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Harris was “the meanest, the most horrible, the most disrespectful of anybody in the US Senate.”
In a historic move that marks a breakthrough for Indian Americans in US politics, Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden selected Kamala Devi Harris as the nominee for vice president.
Thus, Harris has also become the first black woman to compete on a major party’s presidential ticket.
