Former President Donald Trump said that his running mate, JD Vance, will be going up against “a moron” during the vice-presidential debate Tuesday against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ running mate.
His assessment seemed to go against his own senior campaign adviser Jason Miller, who said this morning that Walz is a “wily political veteran” who is “very good in debates.”
Trump, who has previously said he will not debate Harris again, reiterated he thinks it’s too late for another debate but claimed “I’d rather debate, I’d rather have another one.”
“The problem is we’re so far down the line, and also I had a three-on-one debate last time. So I, I debated Biden, and I must say CNN was very fair. And then I had the other debate, and ABC was totally crooked,” Trump said, again complaining about the ABC moderators, who fact-checked the former president during the debate with Harris.
Harris earlier this month accepted an invitation from CNN to again debate Trump on October 23, but the former president said at the time it is “too late” to have another presidential debate because Americans have begun casting their ballots in the 2024 election.
Trump campaign launches GoFundMe for those affected by Hurricane Helene
The Trump campaign launched a GoFundMe for those affected by Hurricane Helene after former President Donald Trump toured storm damage in Valdosta, Georgia, earlier on Monday.
The Trump campaign’s finance director, Meredith O’Rourke, is the organizer of the fundraiser, and Trump campaign officials are promoting the GoFundMe on social media.
GOP former senator says Harris-Walz ticket represents conservative values “better” than Trump
Republican former Sen. Jeff Flake said Monday he is voting for Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, because they would “better” represent conservative values than former President Donald Trump.
Flake, a longtime critic of Trump, was tapped by President Joe Biden to serve as ambassador to Turkey in 2021.
Flake endorsed Harris Sunday, and he told Collins the next day that “you need to not just lodge a protest vote, you have to vote for the alternative and that’s what I’ve done.”
He added, “I’m not telling my fellow Republicans what to do, but that’s what I think should be done.”
