Trump: Harris would be an 'insult' as first female president
President Trump on Tuesday derided Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, saying it would be "an insult to our country" if the California senator became the nation's first female president.
"People don't like her. Nobody likes her. She could never be the first woman president. She could never be. That would be an insult to our country," Trump told a crowd of supporters in North Carolina.
The president's commentary drew applause from his backers in Winston-Salem. The remarks came as part of a broader attack on the Democratic ticket, which Trump argued would "cripple" the country's economy.
Trump launched a similar attack on the prospect that Harris could ascend to the presidency two weeks ago, saying at a New Hampshire rally that he hoped to see the first woman president, but that it shouldn't be Harris because "she’s not competent."
Harris is the first woman of color nominated to a major party's presidential ticket. She has been an ardent Trump critic as a senator, and she has assumed the role of attack dog in her first campaign appearances since being nominated as the Democratic vice presidential pick.

Overall, her favorability rating is higher than his or Pence's.
