Democrats have made a lot of noise about former President Donald Trump’s age, but it looks like Vice President Kamala Harris is the one who is losing steam with less than a week to go.
The Trump War Room social media account posted a video of Harris yawning and looking off into space while talking on the phone with an aide. The plane looks like one of the administration’s helicopters.
Trump’s campaign declared Harris is “cracking” after just three months as the Democratic Party’s nominee, a position she was “installed” into, it added. “Kamala is exhausted — cracking under the rigors of a presidential campaign after she was installed as a nominee who didn’t earn a single vote. Yikes!” read the post on X.

This comes as Harris is dealing with another scandal this week.
During a Zoom call, Biden spoke about the comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”

Biden said on a campaign Zoom Tuesday night: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump’s] supporters.”
Trump immediately responded to Biden’s remark: “Wow, that’s what [Biden] says… garbage. I think it’s worse [than deplorable].”
Trump was talking about Hillary Clinton’s famous 2016 speech in which she called Trump’s supporters during his first run for office a “basket of deplorable.”
“Please forgive him for he knoweth not what he say. Honestly he doesn’t. And I’m convinced that he likes me more than he likes Kamala,” Trump said, referring to Biden’s declining mental abilities.
“No!” the crowd shouted back at Trump.

Trump’s allies quickly piled on criticism of Biden’s insults.
“Just moments ago, Joe Biden stated that our supporters are garbage. I hope their campaign is about to apologize. We are not garbage, we are patriots who love America,” Rubio said while on stage with Trump.
Trump’s vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance slammed Biden, calling his comment “disgusting.”
“This is disgusting. Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country. There’s no excuse for this. I hope American reject it,” Vance said.
Donald Trump Jr. took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and stated: “The media spent all week crying about a joke from a comedian. Meanwhile, Tim Walz called Trump supporters Nazis. Kamala Harris refused to condemn it. And now Kamala’s biggest Democrat ally, Joe Biden, is calling all Trump supporters ‘garbage.’ Absolutely disgusting!!!”
Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung also condemned Biden’s remarks on X, writing that Vice President Kamala Harris and the president “HATE Americans and will do everything to crush us if they ever hold power again.”
The White House issued a statement trying to claim Biden was not referring to Trump supporters, despite his statement clearly referring to Trump supporters.
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Fox News that Biden “referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage.’”
“The president was referencing a joke by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he likened Puerto Rico to an island of floating ‘garbage’ in the middle of the ocean,” Biden said.
Later, Biden tried to clarify his comments further, saying he was denouncing Hinchicliffe’s comments—not Trump supporters.
“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporters at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden wrote in a post on X. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”
