Trump teases his VP pick while taking sharper aim at Kamala Harris
Trump repeatedly brought up Vice President Kamala Harris and teased his forthcoming VP pick during a rally in Florida on Tuesday.
President Joe Biden’s poor debate performance has not only thrown Donald Trump’s long-anticipated announcement of a vice presidential running mate into a holding pattern.
The fallout, which has included a relentlessly bad news cycle for Biden, has also provided Trump an opportunity to gut-check perhaps the biggest decision of his bid to return to the White House.
Trump acknowledged as much Monday night. Two weeks after he told reporters that he had made up his mind, he told Fox News’ Sean Hannity that he was still evaluating his options. Trump indicated that the debate — and uncertainty about whether Biden will be the Democratic nominee — had emerged as a last-minute factor in his deliberations.

Because, you know, it might make a difference. I don’t know. I’m not sure that it would, but there are those who say Trump’s waiting until he finds out what’s going to happen with crooked Joe Biden, and we’ll see what happens with Biden.”
Trump’s rollout tease continued Tuesday night with a rally in Doral, Florida, where he noticeably aimed sharper insults at Vice President Kamala Harris, who could be his general election opponent if Biden steps aside.
