Former President Donald Trump’s recent conversation with radio host Hugh Hewitt sparked surprise as he suggested Vice President Kamala Harris might be a more effective leader than President Joe Biden. Trump hinted at Biden being “locked into” Harris, expressing a preference for her leadership over Biden’s, stating, “I think she’d be better than him, actually.”
Trump’s Unconventional Perspective
In his remarks, Trump pointed to a belief that a vote for Biden essentially signifies support for Harris due to various reasons, underlining his view that Biden is closely associated with her leadership.
These unexpected comments emerge amid ongoing speculations about Biden’s age and the potential for Harris to assume a more significant role in leadership. Harris herself has emphasized the responsibility of a vice president to be prepared to take on the presidency if necessary.
Trump’s statements come at a time when former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley has gained traction in the New Hampshire Republican presidential primary race, an assertion Trump swiftly dismissed.
