Donald Trump has questioned whether Kamala Harris has the “right” to run for the presidency, arguing the vice president picking up the Democratic Party’s nomination, despite not winning its primary, is a “threat to democracy.”
The Republican presidential nominee made the comment in a post on his Truth Social website on Friday, where he branded Harris the “Weakest Presidential Candidate in History on Crime.”
Harris swiftly established herself as the Democrats’ presumptive presidential nominee after President Biden announced he was dropping out of the race on July 21, giving her his endorsement. Biden decisively won the Democratic primary contest but pulled out after coming under intense pressure from within his own party, amidst increased concern over the 81-year-old’s age and mental agility.
In his Truth Social post, Trump said: “Kamala Harris is the Weakest Presidential Candidate in History on Crime. She’s allowed millions of people to pour through our Borders, many from prisons, mental institutions and, indeed, terrorists, coming in at levels never seen before.
“What gives her the right to run for President? She got no votes to Biden’s 14 Million. She failed in her previous attempt, was the first one out of 22 people to quit, never made it to Iowa, and now she’s a Presidential Candidate? This is a Threat to Democracy!”
