US President Donald Trump claimed men are insulted by Joe Biden’s plan to select a woman as his running mate on the Democratic ticket. On Tuesday, he informed Fox Sports Radio and said, “He roped himself into a certain group of people. Some people would say that men are insulted by that. And some people would say it is fine”. President trails the former vice president nationally and in the key swing states that experts say will decide the election. He appeared to shrug off Biden’s coming VP announcement and said, “People don’t vote for the vice president. In the end, it doesn’t really matter”. Trump referred to a political adage that voters care almost exclusively about the name at the top of the ticket.
President Trump appeared on the sports-focused network a day after he called on the NCAA and its major conferences to carry on with their football seasons. Point to be noted that the so-called “Power Five” conferences are reportedly nearing a fall shutdown. The smaller Mid-American and Mountain West conferences already have postponed their 2020 seasons during the coronavirus epidemic. Both could try to play football and other fall sports next spring. The former vice president celebrated her tenure as attorney general of California when Joe Biden announced Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. The Trump campaign was out with its own statement and attacked Harris with her apparent new nickname, Phony Kamala.
Trump campaign also claimed that she would bury her record as a prosecutor, in order to appease the anti-police extremists controlling the Democrat Party. President Trump’s statement made it clear that his campaign didn’t read Biden’s full announcement. It was rather hoping the presumptive Democratic nominee would stay silent when it came to Harris’ prosecutorial career. It is noteworthy that a recent Washington Post and ABC News poll showed a majority of US adults supported Biden over Trump when it came to handling national issues including crime, safety, race relations, and the coronavirus pandemic. A Pew Research Center survey also showed 46% of respondents choosing the former vice president to effectively handle law enforcement and criminal justice issues compared to 43% who chose President Donald Trump.
