Former US President Donald Trump has continued his personal attacks on his rival Kamala Harris from the Democratic Party. This time he claimed that he looks much better than the US Vice President. He made his statement at a rally in Pennsylvania, US media reported.
“I look a lot better than her,” Trump said at a rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. “I’m a better looking person than Kamala.”
He was quoted by The Hill.
Referring to a recent photo of Kamala Harris on the cover of Time Magazine, Trump claimed that the cult magazine had to hire an illustrator because the photos she had taken were not successful.
“Time magazine doesn’t have a picture of her. They have this incredible artist who draws her,” he said. “They did a lot of pictures that didn’t work, so they hired an illustrator.”
Who is Harris? asks Trump
This was one of many salvos the former president directed at Harris. In an attempt to belittle her, Trump asked who Harris was.
“What happened to Biden? I ran against Biden and now I’m running against somebody else,” Trump said. “I said, ‘Who am I running against? Harris? I said, ‘Who the hell is Harris?'”
Joe Biden, the current US President, withdrew from the election campaign due to enormous pressure from the Democratic Party and his disastrous performance against Trump in the first presidential debate. During the debate, Biden seemed to stray from the topic, contradict himself and make many other mistakes, which was seen as the last straw.
Pennsylvania is an important swing state in the US elections. Harris will visit the state on Sunday. She will then travel to Chicago for the Democratic Party Convention. At the convention, which is scheduled to take place on Monday, Harris will officially accept the nomination to run for the Oval Office. If she is elected president, she will be the first woman to hold that office.
