The former president continues to hammer away at his presumptive Democratic opponent, as Republican nominee Donald Trump said on Saturday that he was “better-looking” than Vice President Kamala Harris.
The remarks from Trump came during his campaign stop in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, a state that he is hoping to win, despite polls showing growing support for Harris.
“I am much better looking than her,” Trump said. “I’m a better-looking person than Kamala.”
Trump continued to slam Harris, mentioning the recent Time Magazine cover that features an artistic drawing of the vice president.
“Time Magazine doesn’t have a picture of her. They have this unbelievable artist drawing her,” he said. “They took a lot of pictures that didn’t work out, so they hired a sketch artist.”
However, schoolyard attacks weren’t the only criticism that Trump shared for Harris at the rally, as he also went after her policies and what they could mean for those working in Pennsylvania.
“You do know she’s against this whole energy thing that you have going, which is by far the most important thing you have from an economic standpoint, a job standpoint,” Trump said.
“She’s vowed that she will ban fracking,” he continued. “Pennsylvania is going to always be fracking because we desperately need the energy, and we desperately need the jobs.”
He also attacked her proposed economic policies, referring to them as the “Maduro plan” of “the old Soviet Union.
“After causing catastrophic inflation, Comrade Kamala announced that she wants to institute socialist price controls,” Trump said.
Harris wasn’t the only one to get attacked on Saturday, as Trump also slammed her Democratic allies and his former competitor.
“What happened to Biden? I was running against Biden, and now I’m running against someone else,” Trump said. “I said, who am I running against, Harris? I said, ‘Who the hell is Harris?’”
The Harris campaign issued a statement after the rally, saying it was the “same old show.”
“Donald Trump can’t sell his dangerous Project 2025 agenda to raise taxes on working families by $3,900, terminate the Affordable Care Act, and rip away our freedoms, so he resorts to lies, name-calling, and confused rants,” Joseph Costello, a campaign spokesperson, shared.
