Trump Weighs In On What Killed Kamala’s Presidential Campaign

President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview this week that Vice President Kamala Harris’ biggest mistake of the election was “taking the assignment” of running for president in the first place.

Trump made the remarks in an interview with TIME that was published when the magazine announced that it had named Trump the “Person of the Year.”

He said that it was a mistake because it’s important for people to “know what you’re good at.”

“I think that when she wouldn’t talk to anybody, it shone a light on her,” Trump said. “In other words, if she would have gone out and just did interviews where they’re comparable to Steve, if there is anybody comparable, would say, could you do an interview here? An interview there? You know, she didn’t do anything.”

“And people said, is there something wrong with her?” he continued. “Why would they? I mean, I’m doing this interview with you. I did interviews with, if I had the time, anybody that would ask, I’d do interviews. I think the Joe Rogan interview, you know, that went on for almost three and a half hours.”

Trump said her campaign “made a big tactical mistake by literally not talking to the press, even if [it was] a really friendly” publication.

“They turned everybody down. They wouldn’t do the basic,” he said. “And people, including me, would start to say, is there something wrong with her? What’s wrong? Why wouldn’t you do some basic interviews?”

“And then she had some pretty failed interviews, and maybe it was highlighted more than it would,” he added. “In other words, if she did those same interviews, but she did another 15 interviews, you know, you wouldn’t have really noticed it that much.”

He said that she put such a high emphasis on performing extremely well in only a few interviews that when they didn’t go well, she was unable to recover from the fallout.
