In his posts since Biden’s announcement, Trump has so far not directly targeted Kamala Harris, who is the Democratic nomination.

Shortly after President Biden announced that he was ending his re-election campaign, former President Donald J. Trump posted a strong attack on social media Sunday afternoon denouncing it. Over the next few hours, he posted several more.
On Monday he woke up and did it again. ” It’s a new day and Joe Biden isn’t dropping out of the race yesterday!” Trump wrote on his social media site, Truth Social.
Even with Biden out of the race and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, who has racked up a string of endorsements from Democrats and is the front-runner for the party’s nominee, Trump continued his series of attacks on Biden, reverting to a familiar approach of communication and an escape valve: social networks.
The torrent of criticism, in which he called Biden “incompetent,” forgetful and undemocratic, followed a trend that Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, set in the White House. Instead of a news convention or televised statements, Trump posted on his preferred platform: then Twitter, now Truth Social.
In his messages since Biden’s announcement, Trump has so far not directly addressed Harris or other popular Democrats who have been continually discussed as conceivable features for the ticket.
Instead, Trump has resorted to attacks on Biden that largely echo those he has been launching for years. Biden, he wrote, is unworthy of serving as commander in chief and “the worst president in history. ” from United States. “
