Trump Criticizes Harris Over 2026 California Governor Decision, 2028 Bid

President Donald Trump sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris following her announcement that she will not run for California governor in 2026 and her upcoming memoir, "107 Days," which details her brief 2024 presidential campaign. Speaking at a press conference where he also reintroduced the Presidential Fitness Test for schools, Trump mocked Harris's communication skills and political aptitude, calling her a "terrible candidate" who "can't speak" or "do an interview." Harris's memoir, set for release on September 23, offers an insider's perspective on her short presidential bid after Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race. In a separate interview, Harris explained her decision to step back from elective politics for now, citing her concerns about the fragility of the democratic system and expressing a desire to engage with the public outside of traditional political structures. Despite Trump's harsh critiques, Harris remains a figure considering a possible 2028 presidential run. The exchanges highlight ongoing political tensions as Harris transitions from active campaigning to reflection and other projects.
