Byron Donalds Spars With CNN Host On Whether Trump’s Age Or Harris’ Far-Left Record Is Bigger Concern

Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds hit back at CNN host Kate Bolduan as she asked him about Republican nominee Donald Trump’s age during a Wednesday segment.

Bolduan repeatedly pressed Donalds on whether 78-year-old Trump’s age is a cause for concern for Republicans since President Joe Biden, who is 81, dropped out of the race on July 21. Donalds argued Harris’ past policy record during her time as senator and vice president is the real concern of the 2024 presidential race.

“If you look at Kamala Harris throughout the first 24 days that we’ve seen, she won’t answer questions, she won’t talk to your network or any other network,” Donalds began, followed by pushback from Bolduan that Donalds’ answer didn’t matter to the question of Trump’s age. “She has no specific policies—no, no, but it does matter, and let me explain. If she won’t answer questions, hard-hitting questions about her record and what she’s going to do, not  the fluff about joy and moving forward and freedom. We’re talking about the real political and policy issues that are gonna affect the American people. She’s nowhere to be seen.”

“But you think when she sits for interviews and lays out policy, you think that’s going to lead people to think she’s too old to be president? I’m trying to follow the line here,” Bolduan asked.

Donalds argued Harris’ “ability and competency” to lead the U.S. and enact effective policies are at question.

“No, it’s not about her age. It’s about her ability and her competency to lead out country going forward. What’s going to be her economic agenda? Is it going to be different from Joe Biden? I don’t think so,” he said.

Donalds pointed to Harris’ tendency to flip-flop
