Harris campaign hits Trump over Fox News interview: 'This guy shouldn't be president ever again'

Vice President Harris’s campaign hit at former President Trump’s interview on Fox News on Thursday, questioning his age and mental stamina.

The campaign released a “Statement on a 78-Year-Old Criminal’s Fox News Appearance,” knocking Trump for his age in an effort to turn the tables after President Biden, 81, dropped his bid over questions about if he was fit to serve another four years in office.

“After watching Fox News this morning we only have one question, is Donald Trump ok?” the campaign said, adding that a takeaway that Americans must have from the interview is if “Trump is old and quite weird” and that “this guy shouldn’t be president ever again.”

Trump on Fox earlier on Thursday called Biden’s speech from the Oval Office the night before “terrible” and described the president’s exit from the race as a “coup.”

"I think it was a coup. They didn't want him running. He was way down in the polls, and they thought he was going to lose," Trump said. "They went to him and they said, you can't win the race, which I think is true, unless I did something very foolish, which I wasn't going to do, and I think he was so far down and they said, 'You're not going to win, and you're not in great shape, and you did poorly in the debate.' I think the debate started everything."

He also said there should be a one-year jail sentence for anyone who desecrates the American flag in the wake of anti-Israel protests over the war in Gaza in Washington, D.C.

“An erratic Donald Trump offers only chaos, fear, and hate. The dangerous threats of an old man don’t create jobs, protect our rights, or keep us safe. Vice President Kamala Harris offers something different: freedom, lower costs, and opportunity for all,” Harris spokesperson James Singer said.

Harris also unveiled her first campaign ad on Thursday, during which she featured Trump’s mug shot and headlines about his legal issues.
