Trump: Harris has more cognitive problems than Biden

Former President Trump said Tuesday that his opponent, Vice President Harris, has “bigger cognitive problems” than President Biden, who ended his campaign amid public concern over his mental acuity.

During a speech Tuesday in Savannah, Ga., Trump criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, pointing specifically to the 13 service members who were killed during the chaotic withdrawal and to the military equipment left oversees.

Trump said world leaders are “laughing at us,” repeating a frequent refrain, before laying into Harris.

“We have to be respected. They laugh at us. All over the world, they're laughing at us,” Trump said.

“And you know what they're really laughing at? Kamala,” Trump continued, “because they can't believe that she's going to be president. They can't believe.”

Trump seemed to reference criticism of his own cognitive abilities, before pivoting to Harris.

“You talk about cognitive problems? She's got bigger cognitive problems than he has, in my opinion,” Trump said, referencing Biden.

The Hill has reached out to the Harris campaign for comment.

Harris and Trump remain locked in a tight race in key battleground states, but Harris holds an edge nationally, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ’s polling average. Harris leads by 3.9 percentage points, with 50 percent support to Trump’s 46.1 percent.
