Donald Trump savaged Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed White House bid in his Time “Person of the Year” interview — saying her biggest mistake was “taking the assignment” at all.
The president-elect — who was given the magazine’s lofty title on Thursday — said Harris’ campaign was doomed from the start “because you have to know what you’re good at.”
President-elect Donald Trump was named Time’s “Person of the Year.” Photographs by Platon for TIMETrump said what he believes also cost her the election was her failure to reach a wider audience on the campaign trail by speaking to streamers and podcasters — such as Joe Rogan — as he did.
“When she wouldn’t talk to anybody, it shone a light on her,” Trump said.
“You know, she didn’t do anything. And people said, ‘Is there something wrong with her?’ Why would they? I mean, I’m doing this interview with you. I did interviews with, if I had the time, anybody that would ask, I’d do interviews,” he said.
