During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, on Thursday, Republican nominee Donald Trump went after Vice President Kamala Harris for the way in which she solidified Democrat support around her without allowing for a primary process to take place after President Joe Biden exited the race last month. Trump pointed to the fact that Harris, who he deemed the "first loser," got no delegates in the 2020 primary and was forced to drop out due to her lack of support.
When asked to clarify what he meant in a recent Truth Social post that the process in which the Democrat nominee was chosen was anti-Constitutional, Trump explained to the gathered press that Harris was installed to lead the party despite Biden's resounding victory in the Democratic primary earlier this year and Kamala Harris' previous lack of support from voters.
"We have a Constitution. It's a very important document. And we live by it," Trump said, per Breitbart. "She has no votes. And I'm very happy to run against her; I'm not complaining from that standpoint. And I hate to be defending him, but he did not want to leave. He wanted to see if he could win. They said, 'You're not going to win,' after the debate, they said, 'You're not going to win. You can't win. You're out.'"
"And at first, they said it nicely, and he wasn't leaving, and then — you know it better than anybody — right, so when you think about it, they said, at first, they were going to go back to another vote, they were going to go through a primary system, a quick primary system, which it would have to be, and then it all disappeared," the Republican nominee explained. "And they just picked a person that was the first out. She was the first loser. OK, so — We call her the 'first loser.' She was the first loser when during the primary system, during the Democrat primary system. She was the first one to quit. And she quit. She had no votes, no support, and she was a bad debater, by the way. Very bad debater. And that's not the thing I'm looking forward to, but she was a bad debater."
"She did, obviously did a bad job. She never made it to Iowa," Trump said about Harris' withdrawal from the race before the 2020 Iowa caucus. "Then, for some reason, and I know he regrets it — you do, too — he picked her, and she turned on him, too. She was working with the people that wanted him out. But the fact that you can be, get no votes, lose in the primary system — in other words, you had fourteen or fifteen people, she was the first one out — and that you can then be picked to run for president? It seems, to me, actually unconstitutional. Perhaps it's not."
