As his campaign sharpens attacks on Harris, Trump remains fixated on Biden
CNNCNN — As Democrats prepared for a deeply symbolic night to mark the passing of the generational torch, former President Donald Trump remained fixated on his former opponent. One adviser, asked if he expected Trump to watch Biden’s speech Monday evening, said simply: “Of course.” He posts on social media about Biden’s decision to step down – and the Democratic pressure that drove the decision – with regularity. The comments about where Harris “comes from” follow Trump’s repeated false attacks on the vice president’s racial identity. “Between his movement and her laugh, there’s a lot of craziness,” Trump said of Biden and Harris. Weird is a nice word by comparison,” the former president added, referencing the recent attack line from Harris and other Democrats that Trump and running mate JD Vance are “weird.” As Trump stood on the floor of the manufacturing plant in York, seeking to portray himself as an ally of manufacturing workers, he said Harris’ economic policies amounted to a “regulatory jihad to shut down power plants all across America.” Trump also falsely claimed that he “won” the classified documents case and that he was “totally exonerated” after US District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the case against him.
