Trump, while talking to reporters, said Harris did not impress him when she was vying for the Democratic nomination in primaries eventually won by Biden.
“I was more surprised than anything else because she did so poorly,” Trump said.
The US President also added that during the bruising 2018 Senate confirmation hearings of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Harris was “the meanest, the most horrible, the most disrespectful of anybody in the US Senate.”
Earlier on Tuesday, Democratic Party’s 2020 Presidential Election candidate Joe Biden picked Indian American Kamala Harris as his running mate. With this, Kamala Harris who is a California Senator has become the first Indian-American Black woman to have been chosen to run for the post of Vice-President in the history of America.
Announcing his decision on Twitter, Joe Biden tweeted, “I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris— a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.”

He further said, “Back when Kamala was Attorney General, she worked closely with Beau (Joe Biden’s eldest son). I watched as they took on the big banks, lifted up working people, and protected women and kids from abuse. I was proud then, and I’m proud now to have her as my partner in this campaign.”
Reacting to the announcement, Harris tweeted that she is honoured to join him as Vice President nominee and will “do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.” She tweeted, “@JoeBiden can unify the American people because he’s spent his life fighting for us. And as president, he’ll build an America that lives up to our ideals. I’m honoured to join him as our party’s nominee for Vice President and do what it takes to make him our Commander-in-Chief.”
