It’s no secret that Trump can be volatile and unpredictable. He often marches to the beat of his own drummer. He will argue with world leaders, the media and
even members of his own cabinet. He doesn’t pay strict attention to briefing notes, and believes he knows more than the experts do. He’s expressed levels of
admiration for controversial leaders like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. He handled the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol poorly. He faced
impeachment not once, but twice.
Harris, a one-term California Senator of little importance, has long been regarded as a left-wing political lightweight. She ran in the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries and was polling in the single digits before
dropping out. She only became the Democratic presidential nominee in 2024 when a weak, ineffective and feeble Joe Biden
stepped aside on July 21 and
endorsed her.
Harris
leads Trump by less than 1 per cent on average in the popular vote. He never won the popular vote against Hillary Clinton (whom he beat in 2016) and Biden (who beat him in 2020), so that’s no surprise. In the all-important electoral college, most models show a slight lead for either Harris or Trump, with a significant number of toss-up states in play that will determine the final outcome.
The former president is better equipped to handle the burden of leadership than Kamala Harris
