During the presidential debate on Tuesday, U.S. Vice President and 2024 Democratic candidate Kamala Harris took a direct shot at former President Donald Trump, claiming that “world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump.” Harris, speaking from her experience as Vice President, stated that her international travels exposed how global leaders view Trump as a source of ridicule.

“I have talked with military leaders, some of whom worked with you, and they say you’re a disgrace,” Harris said, addressing Trump during the debate. Her remarks drew attention to Trump’s foreign policy record and what she argued is a lack of credibility on the global stage.

Harris also attacked Trump’s temperament, accusing him of being “confused about fact” due to his ongoing refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election and his claims that the Justice Department cases against him are politically motivated.

The exchange highlighted the deep divide between the two candidates as they prepare for the 2024 presidential race, with Harris presenting herself as a steady alternative to Trump’s tumultuous leadership style.
