Trump, Vance heap scorn on Biden, Harris

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump and running mate J.D. Vance on Sunday slammed the record of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, as the incumbent bowed out of the White House race and sought to pass the torch to his number two.

Biden’s momentous decision to ditch his reelection bid was met with quick scorn from Republican presidential candidate Trump, in a series of posts on his Truth Social platform.

“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve – And never was!” Trump wrote. “Whoever the Left puts up now will just be more of the same.”

“Harris will be even worse for the people of our nation than Joe Biden. Harris has been the Enabler in Chief for Crooked Joe this entire time. They own each other’s records, and there is no distance between the two,” the campaign said in a statement.

“Joe Biden has been the worst President in my lifetime and Kamala Harris has been right there with him every step of the way,” the Republican senator wrote on X, saying Harris had “lied for nearly four years about Biden’s mental capacity.”

“President Trump and I are ready to save America, whoever’s at the top of the Democrat ticket. Bring it on,” Vance concluded.
