Shortly after the assassination attempt, Kamala Harris became the Democratic Party’s de facto presidential nominee. Trump noted how attitudes had shifted towards what was once America’s least popular Vice President.
“She was known as a terrible vice president, laughed at, scoffed at. They wanted [Biden out], but they didn’t want her. They would have done anything to get anybody on the list. You know, they had a list of ten people, and they put her on the list, and she came in 11th,” Trump said.
From there, Trump raised serious questions about Kamala Harris’s abrupt transformation from being a "joke" just five weeks ago to suddenly being beyond criticism.

Attention then turned to the Democratic National Convention. Speakers, many of whom were unable to highlight existing problems within the country since Harris is a central part of the current administration, and instead just bashed Trump wherever possible.
Trump also reflected on the impact of the Democrats’ rhetoric, suggesting it might have led to an attempt on his life.
