Bill Clinton’s Surprising Remarks on Kamala Harris Just Before Election

Bill Clinton’s Surprising Remarks on Kamala Harris Just Before Election

During a recent “Get Out the Vote” rally in Arizona, former President Bill Clinton shared some unexpected insights on Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican Senate candidate Kari Lake. Clinton remarked that Harris is “extremely vulnerable” to attacks from her opponents, as he addressed supporters in Phoenix. Shifting focus to Lake, he described her as “physically attractive.”

The event, organized by the Democratic Party, aimed to bolster support for Harris ahead of the 2024 election. This marked Clinton’s first campaign appearance in Arizona since backing his wife, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 presidential race. His unfiltered comments quickly sparked mixed reactions.

Clinton started by addressing the challenges Harris faces, noting that while some Americans are firmly in favor of the Biden-Harris administration, a significant number remain undecided. He stated that “roughly 45% of the populace believes that Trump is infallible” and is indifferent to “whether or not our democracy is preserved.”

“There is a sliver there that has to make up their mind. And to them, Kamala Harris just showed up,” Clinton noted. “She was there as vice president and what they think of President Biden… but she is extremely vulnerable, more vulnerable than she deserves to be through crazy attacks. So, they’ve been thinking, the Republicans all this time, how can we go on the attack?”

Later, Clinton turned his attention to Kari Lake, who is vying for a Senate seat. “This is like a beautiful microcosm of Kamala Harris’s campaign as vice president,” he remarked, adding that while Lake is “physically attractive,” she views “politics as a performance art.”

With only two weeks left until the Senate election, Lake appears to be narrowing the gap with her opponent, Ruben Gallego (D-AZ). The irony in Clinton’s comments isn’t lost, given his own history of personal controversies.

Clinton, who won Arizona in 1996, made history by turning the state blue for the first time since 1948. Arizona, now a critical swing state, could play a key role in the upcoming presidential election. While Harris faces opposition in states like Michigan, Wisconsin, and other Democratic strongholds, her campaign efforts continue in Arizona, where recent polls show Trump leading.
