President Trump took to Twitter to troll Senator Kamala Harris just after she announced that she was quitting the presidential race.
“Too bad. We will miss you Kamala!” the president wrote, as he retweeted a tweet from Corey Lewandowski.
Lewandowski’s tweet said: “‘One of the hardest decisions of my life’: Kamala Harris ends once-promising campaign.
“Another one bites the dust. Guess it’s not as easy as everyone thought. @realDonaldTrump connected with people that’s why he won 38 Primaries and Caucuses.”
The Democratic presidential nominee announced the news on Tuesday, saying: “Eleven months ago at the launch of our campaign in Oakland I told you all: ‘I am not perfect.’
“But I will always speak with decency and moral clarity and treat all people with dignity and respect. I will lead with integrity. I will speak the truth.
“And that’s what I have tried to do every day of this campaign. So here’s the truth today.”
“I’ve taken stock and looked at this from every angle, and over the last few days have come to one of the hardest decisions of my life,” she continued.
“My campaign for president simply doesn’t have the financial resources we need to continue.”
Explaining how the shortage of funds led her to quit the race, Harris said: “I’m not a billionaire. I can’t fund my own campaign. As the campaign has gone, it’s become harder and harder to raise the money we need to compete.”
“Our campaign uniquely spoke to the experiences of Black women and people of color — and their importance to the success and future of this party,” she added.
“Our campaign demanded no one should be taken for granted by any political party.”
After Trump’s tweet mocking Harris for dropping out of the race went viral, Harris replied to it, saying: “Don’t worry, Mr. President. I’ll see you at your trial.”
Harris received support from fellow Democratic presidential candidates, who took to social media to send her their best wishes.
Tulsi Gabbard wrote in a tweet: “Sending my best wishes to @KamalaHarris, her family & supporters who have campaigned so hard.
“While we disagree on some issues, we agree on others & I respect her sincere desire to serve the American people. I look forward to working together on the challenges we face as a nation.”
Joe Biden tweeted: “Kamala Harris is an incredible talent with unlimited potential. Her career has been defined by taking on those who abuse power and seeking equity and justice for all people.
“Her intellect and insight will continue to be needed by the Democratic Party and the country.”
Replaced!
