Donald Trump’s niece has called for her uncle to stand down.
Donald Trump’s niece has called her uncle’s performance in his debate with President Joe Biden « apocalyptically disastrous. »
On June 27, the Democratic incumbent and his Republican opponent went head-to-head in Atlanta for the first 2024 presidential debate. Since then, Biden has faced criticism for his debate performance, in which he stumbled over his words, lost his train of thought and was often difficult to hear.
In the aftermath of the debate, Mary Trump, a longtime critic of her uncle, has written a Substack post explaining her continued support of Biden. Though she said that « it would be absurd to pretend that President Joe Biden had a good debate », she added that Donald Trump should be facing calls to drop out of the race, too.
« Let’s be honest about the performance of the other person on the stage who, if the metrics by which we’re measuring success are honesty, policy, a vision for America, and the defense of democracy, had a debate so apocalyptically disastrous that I can’t believe that not one pundit, not one Republican official (at least none I’m aware of) has called on Donald Trump to drop out of the race », Mary Trump wrote.
« If we’re only going to count style over substance, I’ll take hoarse and halting over hate-filled and unhinged every day of the week », Mary Trump continued.
The author went on to criticize CNN’s Jake Tapper and Dana Bash, who moderated the debate, saying they allowed « Donald to steamroll the truth with an incessant stream of increasingly bizarre and dangerous lies.
