‘Unstable’: Harris Campaign Says Trump ‘Not Up To The Job’ After Al Smith Dinner | EUROtoday

Democrat Kamala Harris’ presidential marketing campaign says GOP rival Donald Trump “is not up to the job” of main the nation after an “unstable” displaying at Thursday’s Al Smith charity dinner in New York.

“Donald Trump struggled to read scripted notes written by his handlers, repeatedly complaining that he couldn’t use a teleprompter,” Harris marketing campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa stated in a press release. “He stumbled over his words and lashed out when the crowd wouldn’t laugh with him.”

“The rare moments he was off script, he went on long incomprehensible rambles, reminding Americans how unstable he’s become,” added Moussa. “And of course he made it all about himself. He may refuse to release his medical records, but every day he makes it clear to the American people that he is not up to the job.”

Trump acquired a combined response with jokes he instructed on the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner, an annual occasion benefiting Catholic charities. At one level, he referenced an extramarital affair that Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, had throughout a earlier marriage. Trump referred to as his writers “idiots” when the Emhoff joke was met with groans.

He additionally stated Harris had the “mental faculties of a child” and mocked President Joe Biden’s cognitive talents — suggesting, as he has a number of occasions earlier than, that the 81-year-old Democrat is in cognitive decline.

But the Harris marketing campaign’s assertion tried to amplify considerations about Trump’s personal well being and psychological state as the previous president tries to retake the White House.

Like Biden, Trump, 78, has confronted scrutiny over his age forward of the November vote, as he could be the oldest individual ever elected to the presidency if he wins.

And although Trump ridiculed Harris for skipping Thursday’s dinner — a break from the custom of presidential candidates attending — the Republican has pulled out of a number of high-profile interviews in current weeks, with a Trump adviser reportedly citing exhaustion as a motive.

Karoline Leavitt, the Trump marketing campaign’s nationwide press secretary, pushed again on that account in a press release to Politico, saying the previous president is “running laps around Kamala Harris on the campaign trail.”
