Donald Trump went to the southern border to paint Vice President Kamala Harris as responsible for a migrant crisis as he and the Democratic presidential nominee’s allies traded barbs ahead of her big national convention moment.
But he did not immediately do so. Instead, the GOP presidential nominee went off-script as soon as he stepped to a microphone on a dusty road beside a towering brown strip of border wall, talking about the Democrat he wanted to be running against this fall.
“Joe Biden, the way that he was taken out was a coup,” Trump said as he began speaking in Sierra Vista, Ariz., on Thursday, hours before Harris was scheduled to formally accept Democrats’ presidential nomination in Chicago. “He got 14 million [primary] votes, and the person running now (Harris) got none.”
