Trump Thumps Harris After Biden Picks Her as His Running Mate

VOA News

   U.S. President Donald Trump Wednesday called Senator Kamala Harris,
   presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's running mate,
   "the kind of opponent everyone dreams of."

   "Kamala Harris started strong in the Democrat Primaries, and finished
   weak, ultimately fleeing the race with almost zero support," the
   president said on Twitter.

     finished weak, ultimately fleeing the race with almost zero support.
     That's the kind of opponent everyone dreams of!

   After Harris's selection was announced Tuesday, Trump said he was
   surprised she was Biden's pick for vice president and called Harris's
   own run for the presidency a failure.

   "I was more surprised than anything else because she did so poorly '¦
   in the primaries," Trump said Tuesday at a White House news conference.

   Trump accused Harris of being "extraordinarily nasty" to then-Supreme
   Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as she questioned him about sexual
   misconduct accusations at his 2018 confirmation hearing.

   "I thought she was the meanest, the most horrible, most disrespectful
   of anybody in the U.S. Senate," he said.
