Harris campaign on Trump-Musk interview
On the friendly Trump-Musk interview, the Harris campaign had the following to say:
"Donald Trump's extremism and dangerous Project 2025 agenda is a feature, not a glitch, of his campaign, which was on full display for those unlucky enough to listen in tonight during whatever that was on X.com. Trump's entire campaign is in service of people like Elon Musk and himself¡ªself-obsessed rich guys who will sell out the middle class and who cannot run a livestream in the year 2024," the Harris campaign said in a statement.

Trump, who called Harris a ¡°radical left lunatic,¡± also claimed that President Joe Biden was ¡°close to vegetable stage.¡±
¡°Far left, like far, far worse than Bernie Sanders. She is considered more liberal by far than Bernie Sanders. She's a radical left lunatic. And if she's going to be our President very quickly, you're not going to have a country anymore. And she'll go back to all of the things that she believes in. She believes in defunding the police. She believes in no fracking, zero. You don't know, all of a sudden she's saying, No, I will. I really want to see fracking today, that is if they got it,¡± Trump said about Harris.

Trump further said that Harris is ¡°going to be worse than Biden because she is a San Francisco liberal who destroyed San Francisco, and then as Attorney General, she destroyed California."
