According to Daily Wire, former President Donald Trump questioned Kamala Harris's ability to face the media, saying she avoids interviews because she struggles with answering questions.
Trump made these comments during a Wednesday interview on Fox News, criticizing Harris's record and decision-making. Trump discussed Harris's reluctance to engage with the media following President Joe Biden's announcement of not running for re-election. He specifically mentioned her avoiding questions, attributing this to her inability to discuss her performance.
Trump expanded his critique to Harris's selection of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro over Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He suggested that Harris's choice was indicative of her poor leadership skills.
“She’s the worst of the group and she’s the one that’s leading it. Look at this decision. This is a really bad decision for the country," Trump stated.
Trump was particularly critical of Harris's performance in her role as the border czar. He argued that her record on security was weak, claiming she now denies having held that position.
"Because her record on security is horrible. She was a border czar, which she doesn’t admit it now. You know, the only thing they have going is the media will play off all of the bad things, bad things that happened during her term," Trump commented.
The former president revealed that there had been discussions about removing Harris from her position five weeks ago due to her perceived incompetence, although this idea was eventually discarded to avoid offending supporters.
"She was so bad that five weeks ago, they wanted to remove her because she was unthinkable to be president. They were going to go with anyone. And then they were afraid that they would offend people if they did that," he remarked.
Trump accused the press of being biased in favor of Harris, suggesting that the media downplays or ignores her shortcomings. “She’s so bad. She’s incompetent. And after they studied it a little bit, they realized it’s not going to be so easy to do. So they say, ‘Well, look, the press is going to do whatever we want,’ because the press is a rigged deal," Trump stated.
Trump emphasized that Harris does not engage in interviews because she cannot effectively respond to questions. He doubted her ability to participate in debates, mentioning future debates as a potential challenge for her. “She would never do an interview like this that I can get with any network. She doesn’t do interviews because she can’t answer questions. I don’t know how she debates," he said.
Trump also took a jab at Harris’s debating abilities, suggesting that despite her reputation for being disagreeable, she lacks effectiveness in debates.
I hear she’s sort of a nasty person, but not a good debater. But we’ll see, because we’ll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future. It’s gonna be announced fairly soon, but we’ll be debating her.

Trump believes Harris’s decision-making and media strategy reflect poorly on her leadership and effectiveness.
