‘We call that a sore loser’: Harris addresses Trump’s potential election-loss denials on the Howard Stern Show

Kamala Harris told Howard Stern that Donald Trump is preparing to be a “sore loser” as the former president continues to refuse to say he is willing to accept the results of the 2024 election.

Stern — who repeatedly assailed the former president as he interviewed his Democratic rival on Tuesday— blasted Trump’s “delusional” framing of the outcome of this year’s election.

“‘If I win, it’s a fair election. If I lose, Kamala Harris and her buddies fixed it,’” Stern said. “That’s delusional.”

“In America, we call that a sore loser,” Harris replied.

During a mostly friendly, hour-long interview, Stern peppered Harris with questions about her thoughts on Trump and his “chaos” in and out of office, from the “insanity” that he turned down an interview with 60 Minutes because he refused to be fact-checked to the moment he baselessly accused immigrants of eating pets during their only debate.

“I believe that this election is about strength versus weakness,” the vice president said. “Weakness is projected by someone who does not have the strength to stand in defense of themselves.”

Stern also joked that he wished that Russian President Vladimir Putin would “get COVID and drop dead” after it was revealed that Trump reportedly secretly sent him tests for personal use at the height of the pandemic.

“This is what keeps me up at night,” Stern said. “I don’t understand how my fellow Americans … I don’t even understand how this election is close. Yes, I’m voting for you but I’d also vote for that wall over there. … Why do my fellow Americans want this kind of chaos overseas? Why?”

Harris said that Putin has “punked” Trump into supporting an “adversary.”

“It’s a sign of weakness in a leader to not stand in defense of your people,” said
