One question seemed to stump the presidential candidates — name “three virtues” about your rival.
Former President Donald Trump was able to come up with three nice things to say about Vice President Kamala Harris, while Harris struggled to answer the question.
Trump was asked the question by a Hispanic voter at the Univision town hall Wednesday, per Fox News.
“That’s a very hard question,” Trump said, as audience members laughed. “That’s the toughest question. The other ones are easy! I’m not a fan, I’m not a fan. I think she’s harmed our country horribly, horribly — at the border, with inflation, with so many other things.”
Trump was able to list a couple good things about Harris.
“But she seems to have an ability to survive,” Trump said. “Because, you know, she was out of the race, and all of a sudden she’s running for president. That’s a great ability that some people have and some people don’t have.”
“She seems to have some pretty longtime friendships… I don’t call that an ability. I call that a good thing,” Trump continued. “And she seems to have a nice way about her. I mean, I like the way, you know, some of her statements, some of her- the way she behaves in a certain way. But in another way, I think it’s very bad for our country, very bad for our country.”
“But she does seem to have some relationships that [are] lasting, and she does seem to be a survivor, because remember, she was the first one out, and all of sudden she’s running for president. And the other 21 people that are running, they’re sitting home watching her on television, right? So that’s by far the toughest question I’ve had today,” he said.
Last week, Harris was asked the same question by the same voter.
“Let me start with this… Based on a life experience, I know that the vast majority of us have so much more in common than what separates us,” Harris started. “And part of what pains me is the approach that, frankly, Donald Trump and some others have taken, which is to suggest that it’s us versus them, whoever that may be. And having Americans point fingers at each other, using language that’s about belittling people and calling them names and meant to make them afraid and live in fear. I don’t think that’s healthy for our nation. And I don’t admire that. And, in fact, I’m quite critical of it coming from someone who wants to be President of the United States.”
Harris then was able to answer the question.
“I think Donald Trump loves his family. And I think that’s very important,” she said. “I think family is one of the most important things that we can prioritize.”
“But I don’t really know him, to be honest with you,” Harris said. “I only met him one time on the debate stage. I’d never met him before, so I don’t really have much more to offer you.”
