Donald Trump savaged Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed White House bid in his Time “Person of the Year” interview — saying her biggest mistake was “taking the assignment” altogether.
The President-elect — who was given the magazine’s lofty title on Thursday — said Harris’ campaign was doomed from the start “because you have to know what you’re good at.”

Trump said what he believes also cost her the election was her neglect to reach a wider audience on the campaign trail by speaking to streamers and podcasters — such as Joe Rogan — as he did.
“When she wouldn’t talk to anybody, it shone a light on her,” Trump said.
“You know, she didn’t do anything. And people said, Is there something wrong with her? Why would they? I mean, I’m doing this interview with you. I did interviews with, if I had the time, anybody that would ask, I’d do interviews,” he said.

“ I think the Joe Rogan interview, you know, went on for almost three and a half hours.”
Trump was declared the magazine’s 2024 person of the year on Thursday after his stunning political comeback — which the magazine described as “unparalleled in American history.”
