Summary

Former Vice President Kamala Harris criticized President Donald Trump’s address to the nation on Iran, saying he has put American troops in harm’s way and done nothing to address the needs of the American people. Trump’s speech was in response to the US military campaign against Iran. Harris’s comments were met with a sharp rebuke from conservatives on social media, who pointed to high prices during the Biden administration and Harris’s political ambitions. Trump declared Iran is “essentially really no longer a threat” after the campaign, but said the US is preparing additional attacks.
