Joe Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, and this ain’t your grandfather’s election anymore. If Donald Trump figured his usual petulance was going to put new Democratic ticket-topper Kamala Harris on the backfoot, the 78-year old ex-president might want to think again.
In her first big rally as the nominee, the vice president called out the three-time Republican presidential candidate to keep his word about the ABC News-hosted debate set for September 10 that he had previously agreed to do against Biden. “So the momentum in this race is shifting, and there are signs that Donald Trump is feeling it,” the veep and presumptive Democratic nominee told an enthusiastic crowd of more than 10,000 just now in Atlanta as polls have Harris tied and even ahead of Trump a week into her White House bid. ‘So last week, you may have seen, he pulled out of the debate in September he had previously agreed to,” Harris added to laughs from the Georgia audience.
Mocking Trump as a chicken and the rhetoric from Trump and running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) as “just plain weird,” Harris put her opponent on notice to the world with the political equivalent of a sidewinder.
