‘Let’s see what Iowa says to her’: Kamala Harris LAUGHS at Nikki Haley for criticizing her and says of Trump: ‘We’ve beaten him before. We will beat him again’

  • VP Harris spoke to ABC News in South Carolina
  • She bashed Nikki Haley and Trump
  • Haley finished third in the Iowa caucuses

Kamala Harris laughed at Nikki Haley’s frequent criticism of her, telling ABC News, “Let’s see what Iowa says to her!”

The vice president spoke to the news network on the same day that Iowa voters headed to their caucus sites. Haley finished in third place behind winner Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, who finished in second place.

Trump is leading the polls for the Republican nomination and President Joe Biden has made him a frequent target in the campaign. Harris expressed confidence that their ticket could defeat the former president the same way they did in the 2020 election.

β€œWe’ve beaten him before and we’ll beat him again,” the vice president said.

But she also noted, β€œLet me tell you this: No matter who the Republican candidate is, we will win. We are winning.’

β€œWe’ve beaten him before and we’ll beat him again,” Vice President Kamala Harris said of Trump

Harris spoke to ABC News in South Carolina, the site of the first Democratic primary. It is also Haley’s home state and the state that gave Biden his first major victory of the 2020 race.

Haley, the former governor of South Carolina, has made Harris a frequent target in the campaign, arguing that she is really running against the vice president because of Biden’s advanced age and that Harris is a hindrance to Biden’s reelection ticket in 2024.

Polls show Harris’ approval rating hovering around 37% β€” a low figure even lower than Biden’s.

Harris chuckled when asked about Haley’s criticism and had the last laugh when Haley finished third in the nation’s first GOP caucuses.

Trump won the Iowa caucuses by a record 30 points. He finished with 51 percent of the vote, far ahead of DeSantis with 21 percent, Haley’s 19 percent and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy’s 8 percent, who dropped out of the race Monday night.

The Biden campaign has faced criticism of its own, including concerns that they are not being aggressive enough amid poor polling.

Some experts are already predicting that Trump could finally clinch the Republican presidential nomination by March, which would be one of the first starts to a general election campaign.

Trump leads Biden by one point Polling average from RealClearPolitics of the 2024 presidential elections.

And a CBS News/YouGov poll on Monday showed Trump, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis each beating Biden in a head-to-head matchup in the 2024 general election.

While Trump is leading in the Republican party primaries, Haley fared best against Biden. Haley had an eight-point lead over Biden β€” 53 percent support to 45 percent, showing strong support from moderates and independents.

Biden’s focus on the campaign trail was on Trump. He has made defending democracy the centerpiece of his re-election campaign and has repeatedly said Trump threatens the principles on which the country was founded.

He told the Rev. Al Sharpton that he is running for a second term because Trump is the “most anti-democratic” president in “American history.”

He also criticized the former president for wanting “revenge on people.”

‘The things Trump says. Trump says things that are not clear,” Biden said in an interview that aired on Sharpton’s radio program on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

β€œHe is the most anti-democratic president – ​​with a small ‘d’ – in American history. The things he says. And he means them. He talks about wanting to get revenge on people,” Biden added. “It’s just outrageous stuff.”
