Former President Donald Trump emphatically stated on Tuesday that Vice President Kamala Harris is the best “insurance policy” for President Joe Biden to guarantee his position as the Democratic nominee for president.

At a rally held at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Florida, Trump critiqued Biden’s recent debate performance and hinted at ongoing speculation regarding his potential running mate for the upcoming presidential race on the Republican ticket.

Trump said Harris was the “best insurance policy I’ve ever seen,” adding that her unpopularity and incompetence were helping Biden keep a grip on the Democratic Party. Trump noted, “If Joe had picked someone even halfway competent,” the Democrats “would have bounced him from office years ago.”

“Our victory was so absolute that Joe’s own party now wants him to throw in the towel and surrender the presidency after a single 90-minute performance,” Trump said. “They want ‘Crooked Joe’ out of the race. It’s a shame the way they’re treating him. But don’t feel sorry for him. He’s a very bad guy.”

Following his debate with Trump, Biden has encountered increasing demands to withdraw as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. Calls have emerged from various quarters, including the media, members of his own party, and the broader public, who have raised concerns about his mental fitness and physical health.

Despite the challenges, Biden has affirmed his intention to stay in the race. In response, Trump has expressed confidence in his electoral prospects, stating that he would defeat any candidate the Democrats nominate against him in the upcoming November election.

“Despite all the Democrat panic this week, the truth is, it doesn’t matter who they nominate because we are going to beat any one of them in thundering landslides and this November’s going to be amazing,” he said.

Trump also hinted at speculation regarding his choice for vice president.

“They probably think I’m going to be announcing that Marco is going to be vice president,” he said, referring to Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who spoke at the rally. Trump said that Rubio “may or may not be there to vote” for a policy Trump has advocated for that would make money earned from tips tax-free.
