PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump held his first solo news conference in more than a year Thursday, boasting of his willingness to talk to the press and challenging Vice President Kamala Harris to more debates.
“She can’t do an interview,” Trump said of Harris, speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort. “She’s barely competent.”
“She’s not smart enough to do a news conference,” he added.
With President Joe Biden out of the race, the entire tempo of the presidential race has shifted — at least on the Democratic side. Instead of an 81-year-old president cocooned by his staff, Democrats now have Vice President Kamala Harris, 59, who is criss-crossing the country and holding rallies at a more rapid pace than either party had earlier in this election.
Trump, however, has not changed his pace. Aside from the press conference Thursday, Trump’s big event this week is a rally on Friday in Montana, a state that is not in contention in November.
