Donald Trump declared victory over Joe Biden and slammed Kamala Harris as “incompetent” Wednesday in his first rally since the president ended his re-election bid.
Trump, 78, sported a small bandage matching his skin tone on his right ear as he took the stage and addressed his supporters inside a packed arena in Charlotte, NC, a state which he predicted he would win in “an epic landslide.”
“As you know, three days ago, we officially defeated the worst president in the history of our country,” the former president told the fired-up crowd.
“He quit because he was losing so badly in the polls,” Trump said of the 81-year-old president’s shocking exit from the 2024 race.
The GOP nominee then suggested that Biden was forced out by Democratic Party elites.
“But really what happened was the leaders of the Democrat Party – in a very undemocratic move – the bosses said, ‘Either you get out or we’re going to throw you out using the 25th Amendment.’ That’s what happened,” Trump argued.
Turning his attention to the vice president, Trump declared, “We have a new victim to defeat – Lyin Kamala Harris.”
Harris, 59, who was endorsed by Biden to run in his stead shortly after his withdrawal from the race, has secured enough Democratic delegate support to receive the party’s nomination for president.
She’s expected to formally be named the Democratic nominee by Aug. 7, in the virtual roll call that the Democratic National Committee rules committee approved Wednesday.
Trump slammed Harris as “the most incompetent and far left vice president in American history” and claimed that she’s been a key player in Biden administration policies that have contributed to record levels of inflation and illegal immigration.
