Trump Laments Biden Dropped Out After ‘Rough Debate’: ‘Doesn’t Mean You Just Take It Away’

Former President Donald Trump lamented that President Joe Biden was pressured by his own party to drop out of the November election.

During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago on Thursday, the GOP nominee complained that Vice President Kamala Harris has taken Biden’s place at the top of the Democratic ticket following the president’s withdrawal from the race.

Before Biden withdrew, Trump maintained a consistent and sizeable lead against the president in polling data, but Harris has closed the gap and is even leading Trump in some polling averages.

The former president complained that Harris should not be at the top of the Democratic ticket because “she got no votes.” Trump said:

And now I’m running against somebody else and we’re leading. We’re leading. So I’m not complaining. I’m saying it’s — for a country with a constitution that we cherish. We cherish this Constitution. To have done it this way is pretty severe. Pretty horrible. You would have thought they would have gone out to a vote. They would have had a primary system. They would have done something.

But to just take it away from them, like he was a child. And he’s a very angry man right now. I can tell you that he’s not happy with Obama and he’s not happy with Nancy Pelosi. Crazy Nancy, she is crazy, too. He’s not happy with any of the people that told him that. You’ve got to leave. He’s very unhappy, very angry. And I think he also blames her. He’s trying to put up a good face, but it’s a very bad thing in terms of a country when you do that. I’m not a fan of his, as you probably have noticed, and he had a rough debate, but that doesn’t mean that you just take it away like that…You go out to a vote, you do something. He had 14 million votes. She had no votes, she got no votes. And I think she’s crashing.
