Trump says Biden had the 'right to run,' but Dem Party 'took it away'

Former President Trump said President Biden had "the right to run" for re-election and the Democratic Party "took it away" from him, while blasting his new opponent Kamala Harris as the "least admired, least respected, and worst vice president in the history of our country."

Trump held a press conference at Mar-a-Lago Thursday afternoon after holding off-the-record meetings with major media outlets. The Trump campaign said the Republican presidential nominee wanted to address the media "while they were already in Palm Beach because he’s the most transparent candidate in history."

Trump said Thursday that the U.S. is in "the most dangerous period of time I’ve ever seen for our country."

"We have somebody that hasn’t received one vote for president, and she’s running, and that’s fine with me, but we were given Joe Biden, and now we’re given somebody else," Trump said. "I think, frankly, I’d rather be running against somebody else, but that was their choice."

Trump said Harris is "a radical left person at a level that nobody’s seen," and said her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, is a "radical left man that has positions that are not even possible to believe they exist."

"He’s heavy into the transgender world, heavy into lots of different worlds having to do with safety. He doesn’t want to have borders, he doesn’t want to have walls. He doesn’t want to have any form of safety for our country," Trump said. "He doesn’t mind people coming in from prisons and neither does she — I guess because she couldn’t care less."

Harris formally became the nominee after Biden suspended his re-election campaign and endorsed her amid pressure
