Earlier on Wednesday, former president and current Republican nominee Trump slammed Harris and Walz in an interview on the breakfast TV show “Fox & Friends.”
Trump called Walz a “shocking pick” and sought to paint him as a radical progressive sidekick for Harris.
“He’s a smarter version of her,” Trump said. Trump also said he was keen to debate Harris after he said he would skip a scheduled debate on broadcaster ABC with the Democratic nominee after US President Joe Biden pulled out of the race.
Trump has instead, in a social media post, called on his own for a debate with Harris on the conservative-friendly Fox network with a live audience.
“I hear she’s sort of a nasty person but not a good, good debater. But we’ll see because we’ll be debating her, I guess in the pretty near future. It’s going to be announced fairly soon but we’ll be debating her,” Trump said.
Trump previously said he would prefer to debate Harris on Fox, which is perceived as being friendlier to him, but also said that “every network loves me very much right now.”
