Harris Lauds More Republicans Endorsing Her, Rips ‘Exhausted’ Trump For Skipping CNN Debate

Vice President Kamala Harris praised Republicans for endorsing her while slamming former President Donald Trump for being too “exhausted” to attend a CNN debate.

On Thursday morning, former Republican Shawn Reilly, mayor of Waukesha, Wisconsin, endorsed the Democratic nominee along with former. Rep. Fred Upton (R-MI) as the election nears its final days.

Wednesday evening, Harris attended a CNN town hall after the former president refused to take the stage for another debate before November.

In her remarks to reporters Thursday, Harris slammed Trump as “exhausted” and cited his comments to accuse him of intending to “revenge” and “retribution” if he regains the Oval Office.

Let me start by saying I’m really very proud to announce that we’ve had some endorsements this morning as we’ve been rolling out endorsements. But two leaders in the Republican Party, the mayor of Waukesha, and then, of course, former Representative Fred Upton. And this continues to be, I think, evidence of the fact that people who have been leaders in our country, regardless of their political party, understand what’s at stake. And they are weighing in courageously, in many cases, in support of what we need to have, which is a president of the United States who understands the obligation to uphold the Constitution of the United States and our democracy.

As for last night, yet again, Trump not showing up, refused to be a part of a CNN debate. And clearly, his staff has been saying he’s exhausted. And the sad part about that is he’s trying to be president United States. Probably the toughest job in the world. And he’s exhausted. I said last night, what I mean, which is the American people are being presented with a very serious decision, and it includes what we must understand will happen starting on January 20th in this choice. Either you have the choice of a Donald Trump who will sit in the Oval Office stewing, plotting revenge, retribution, writing out his enemies list, or what I will be doing, which is responding to folks like the folks last night with a to do list, understanding the need to work on lifting up the American people, whether it be through the issue of grocery prices and bringing them down or investing in our economy, investing in our small businesses, investing in our families.
