Donald Trump Makes Eyebrow-Raising Observation About Kamala Harris

The former president seemed baffled that "somehow" a woman was performing better in the presidential race than Joe Biden did.

Donald Trump appeared to find it curious that somehow a woman was doing better than Joe Biden had been in the presidential race.

During an appearance on Fox News Gutfeld! on Wednesday, the Republican nominee reflected on the presidents decision to end his campaign and Vice President Kamala Harris entry into the race.

She doesnt like doing interviews. And shes not knowledgeable about economy and various things, and I think it would be a problem, Trump said. But you know what? [Biden] was pretty much gone. They said, Joe, its over. Youre getting out.

And they put her in, and she somehow a woman somehow shes doing better than he did, he added. But I cant imagine it can last.

The Harris campaign shared a clip of the moment.

Biden upended the race when he dropped out in July and endorsed Harris to take up the mantle.

Harris leads Trump by 3 percentage points in FiveThirtyEights latest national polling average  of what still looks to be an incredibly tight election.

Trump has for decades made problematic comments about women  that objectify them and question their intelligence. He has also been accused multiple times of sexual assault and was found liable last year for sexual abuse in a civil case.

When Harris suddenly became his opponent, Trump appeared rattled for weeks. At the time, New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman said the former president seems to really struggle with women opponents, women critics and particularly Black women.
