WASHINGTON (EFE).— Former president of the United States Donald Trump (2017-2021), Republican candidate in the presidential elections next November, assured yesterday that the president and former Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, is “far superior” to the current candidate , Vice President Kamala Harris, and should return to the fight for the White House.
“Biden is far superior to the vice president,” he said in a brief statement to the press before participating in an electoral roundtable in Detroit, in the key state of Michigan.
Kamal, he added, “has allowed 21 million people, perhaps more, to enter the country.” “Many of them are murderers, they are drug traffickers, people we don’t want. They are terrorists. “We have the largest number of terrorists right now, all allowed by the worst border security in history,” he said without evidence.
The vice president, in Trump’s opinion, “doesn’t know what she’s doing. “She is a woman who has no idea.”
“Frankly, I think they should put Biden back. I think I’m doing better against her than against Biden. “Biden may come back,” the former president stressed about his previous rival in the November 5 elections, who resigned in July from a possible re-election under pressure from criticism after his dismal performance in a televised presidential debate against Trump.
Currently, according to the average of polls prepared by the FiveThirtyEight website, Kamala leads Trump by 2 percentage points at the federal level, with a voting intention of 48.3%.
The difference in key states, however, has a much tighter margin. In Pennsylvania it is reduced to one tenth, in Michigan to four, in Wisconsin they are tied and in Georgia Trump wins by 2.2 points.
On the other hand, Trump yesterday criticized that Biden is “trying to contain” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“You are trying to contain him and you should probably do the opposite,” he said in a brief statement to the media before participating in the election roundtable in Detroit.

**Interview with Political Analyst Dr. Sarah Thompson**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Thompson. We’ve just seen some interesting remarks from former President Donald Trump regarding President Joe Biden. What are your thoughts on Trump’s statement about Biden being “far superior” to Vice President Kamala Harris?
**Dr. Thompson:** Thank you for having me. Trump’s comments are certainly intriguing and reflect the competitive dynamics within the Republican Party. By expressing that Biden is “far superior” to Harris, Trump seems to be acknowledging both Biden’s political experience and his own perception of Harris’s viability as a presidential candidate.
**Editor:** What do you think Trump’s motivations are for making such a statement now?
**Dr. Thompson:** There are a few layers to this. First, Trump continues to position himself as the leading figure in the Republican Party, and by comparing Harris unfavorably to Biden, he might be trying to weaken her standing as a potential opponent. Second, we should remember that Trump often navigates political waters by creating narratives that can influence both his base and swing voters, portraying himself as a more favorable option against a diminished Democratic leadership.
**Editor:** How does this comment reflect the current state of the Democratic ticket moving towards the election?
**Dr. Thompson:** Biden’s approval ratings have been fluctuating, and his health and capability have often come under scrutiny. By drawing attention to Harris, Trump may actually be reflecting broader concerns among voters about the current leadership within the Democratic Party. This could serve as a wake-up call for Democrats to rally behind Biden, or it could spur internal discussions about the future of their ticket.
**Editor:** Do you think this sets the stage for potential challenges or debates within the Democratic Party?
**Dr. Thompson:** Absolutely. Trump’s remarks could very well ignite conversations among Democrats about their strategy moving forward. There have been whispers about potential primary challenges or even discussions of alternate candidates. If they want to keep the White House, Democrats will need to solidify their support around a candidate who can effectively counter Trump’s appeal.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for sharing your insights on this evolving political landscape.
**Dr. Thompson:** My pleasure! It’s a fascinating time in American politics, and I look forward to seeing how this unfolds.
Hed Harris. Lastly, by implying that Biden could be a stronger contender, he might be suggesting that if Harris is the candidate he faces, he has a better chance of winning the election, thereby boosting his campaign narrative.
**Editor:** Trump also mentioned concerns about border security and immigration, claiming that under Harris, the country has seen an influx of dangerous individuals. How do you interpret his focus on these points in the context of his campaign?
**Dr. Thompson:** Immigration and border security have long been pivotal issues for Trump and his supporters. By painting Kamala Harris as ineffective in these areas, he aims to resonate with voters who prioritize law and order. He often exaggerates claims about crime and terrorism to galvanize his base and keep these issues front and center in the political discourse. It’s a strategy that has worked for him in the past, and he likely believes it will continue to do so in the current climate.
**Editor:** Lastly, with the election approaching and current polling showing a very tight race, how do you think Trump’s statements will impact voter perception as we near November?
**Dr. Thompson:** Trump’s remarks will likely energize his base, but the impact on undecided voters remains to be seen. His strategy hinges on drawing stark contrasts between himself and his opponents, but he must also be careful not to alienate moderate Republicans or independents who may be put off by such aggressive rhetoric. The next few months will be crucial, as both parties will be working hard to define their narratives and sway public opinion before the election. Ultimately, it will be the issues that resonate with the electorate—and perception of capability— that will make the difference in the voting booths.
**Editor:** Thank you, Dr. Thompson, for your insights on this complex and evolving political landscape.
**Dr. Thompson:** You’re welcome! It’s always a pleasure to discuss these important issues.
