Former President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday blasted Vice President Kamala Harris as radically liberal and blamed her for what he called the Biden administration’s “disastrous” policies, repurposing attacks he had long leveled at President Biden now that Ms. Harris is poised to be his opponent in November.
Speaking in Charlotte, N.C., at his first campaign rally since President Biden dropped out of the race and Ms. Harris cleared the field of potential Democratic rivals, Mr. Trump called Ms. Harris “the ultraliberal driving force behind every single Biden catastrophe.”Mr. Trump repeatedly mispronounced Ms. Harris’s name, called her a “radical-left lunatic” and tagged her with the nickname “Lyin’ Kamala.” He denounced her for casting a tiebreaking vote on legislation that he said had caused inflation and said she had embarrassed herself by trying and failing to deter Russia from invading Ukraine.
