Eric Trump, son of former President Donald Trump, found Vice President Kamala Harris’s closing statement for the 2024 election to be “very telling,” suggesting that her opening and closing remarks were contradicting.
Harris presented her closing speech Tuesday evening at the Ellipse, where she deemed her opponent a “petty tyrant” while promising to lower costs if elected president. Two statements in particular stood out to Eric Trump: Harris said at the start of the speech that “it doesn’t have to be this way” and that “we have the power to turn the page” towards the end.
“Guess who’s sitting in the White House right now?!” Trump asked on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime. “It’s not Donald Trump. Guess who’s been sitting in the White House for 12 of the last 16 years, Jesse? It’s Democrats, right? She didn’t give one substantive policy, she can’t. All she can do is go out there and say ‘Donald Trump’s a bad man, he’s not a good man, he’s a this, he’s a that.’ He’s a very good man, let me start there. But she’s talking, ‘Well, I would like to fix housing prices.’ Kamala, you caused it. You let 20 million illegal immigrants into this country. This is basic supply and demand that a 5-year-old child would understand.”
The former president’s son also argued that his father’s message to voters is one that aims to improve the country and allow the American dream to “flourish.” Harris, meanwhile, did not say anything “serious” during her closing speech, struggling to find any meaning.
“You know, it’s so sad because we’re watching the demise of the greatest country in the world under just unbelievably unqualified people,” Trump said. “You have Joe Biden who’s sleeping on a beach every day, you have Kamala, I mean, she waited 46 days, Jesse, 46 days without doing a single interview. America deserves so much better than this, and we’re going to get it in seven days when Donald Trump is reelected.”
With roughly a week left before Election Day, Eric Trump previewed how his father is spending the last few days of the 2024 election cycle, including visits to traditionally Democratic-leaning states such as New Mexico and Virginia. He also claimed that Republicans are winning the early vote in New Jersey.

Ahead of Donald Trump’s visit to Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Thursday, Republican Senate nominee Nella Domenici called it “a great sign” that her state is “on the cusp of becoming a red state.” The former president is also spending Thursday with a visit to Glendale, Arizona, where he and commentator Tucker Carlson will conduct a live one-on-one discussion.
On Tuesday, Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York assessed that Arizona and Georgia are the two swing states Trump should prioritize in the last days of this election cycle. If Trump can reclaim those states and those he won in 2020, York argued, the former president only has to win one of Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin to win the election.
