Former President Donald Trump is escalating his attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris as he eyes a potential rematch with President Joe Biden in 2024. Trump has repeatedly expressed confidence in a decisive victory over Biden, even as some Democrats urge the president to step aside due to his perceived cognitive decline.
Donald Trump's eagerness for a 2024 presidential rematch against Joe Biden is becoming increasingly evident, as he has intensified his criticism of Biden and his running mate, Vice President Kamala Harris. In a recent interview, Trump suggested that Harris would likely take over as president if Biden were to withdraw from the race.
"I think that it will be her," Trump said. "I think they are very concerned about the vote if it's not her. They are very, very– I mean, they're gun-shy, they don't want to do it any other way. I've actually come to believe that's what they're going to do."

Trump's criticism of Harris is not new. He has previously labeled her as "pathetic" and ineffective. However, his recent comments suggest a growing belief that Harris is a potential opponent in the next presidential election.
Meanwhile, Biden's political standing has suffered in recent months amidst concerns about his age and cognitive abilities. A recent New York Times editorial called for him to step aside, arguing that he has become a liability for the Democratic Party.

However, Biden has insisted that he has no intention of bowing out. He has also dismissed the criticism of his mental fitness, claiming that he is in good health.
Despite Biden's denials, speculation persists that the Democratic Party may pressure him to withdraw in favor of Harris. However, such a move would likely face significant resistance from Biden's supporters.

In addition to his attacks on Harris, Trump has also been vocal in his criticism of Biden's policies. He has accused Biden of being weak on immigration, crime, and foreign affairs.
Trump's comments have been met with a mixture of enthusiasm and skepticism among Republicans. Some believe that he is the strongest candidate to defeat Biden, while others worry that his polarizing presence could alienate moderate voters.

Regardless of the outcome of the Democratic primary, Trump's entry into the 2024 race would likely shake up the political landscape. His continued attacks on Biden and Harris indicate that he is not taking this election lightly.
As the election approaches, it remains to be seen whether Biden can quell the concerns about his leadership and convince the American people that he is still fit to serve as president. Meanwhile, Trump's populist appeal and his ability to connect with his base will make him a formidable opponent in 2024.
