The Republican presidential candidate mentioned in a phone call to CNN that he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will be easier to defeat

Minutes after US President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 race, former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump spoke with CNN over the phone, asserting that Biden will be remembered as “the single worst president by far in the history of our country.”

Trump said that he believes Vice President Kamala Harris will be an easier opponent to defeat than Biden would have been.

The ex-president continued on his social media platform Truth Social to harshly criticize Biden’s rule, pledging to promptly fix the damage the incumbent has allegedly done to the US, once returning to office. 

“Crooked Joe Biden was not fit to run for President, and is certainly not fit to serve - And never was! He only attained the position of President by lies, Fake News, and not leaving his Basement. All those around him, including his Doctor and the Media, knew that he wasn’t capable of being President, and he wasn’t,” Trump wrote. 

“We will suffer greatly because of his presidency, but we will remedy the damage he has done very quickly,” he added.
