Harris VP search narrows as Trump continues to attack Harris’s race

Trump sought to combat Harris and her allies’ labeling of him and his running mate as “weird,” saying in an interview with conservative media personalities Clay Travis and Buck Sexton today that he is not weird.

“Well, they’re the weird ones,” Trump said. “And if you’ve ever seen her laughing and all that, there’s something weird going on there. They’re the weird ones. Nobody’s ever called me weird. I’m a lot of things, but I’m not weird.”

Trump went on to describe himself as “outspoken” and said Vance is “not weird at all.”

“And neither is he,” Trump continued. “I will tell you that JD is absolutely not. They are.”

Trump criticized undocumented immigration to the United States and said it is “strange” to “have open borders.”

“That’s weird,” she said before noting that allowing trans women to participate in women’s sports and tax increases are “weird.”

“This is all strange,” he said. “And the way the elections are conducted is strange… But you know what it is? It’s a slogan. You’ve been seeing it. ‘Russia, Russia, Russia,’ ‘Ukraine, Ukraine.’ It’s always slogans.”

“And the press picks it up,” he continued. “Did you notice the evening news? Everybody’s talking about… they introduced the word ‘weird.’ And all of a sudden now they’re talking about ‘weird.’ We’re not weird people. We’re actually the opposite. Put her right in the middle.”

Harris and her allies sought to promote “bizarre” messaging around Trump and Vance shortly after Biden dropped out of the presidential race last month.
