President Donald Trump<\/a> rejected former Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 claim in her new book that he privately praised her during a concession phone call, saying he was cordial but never described her as a “tough, smart customer.”<\/p>\n

“[I didn’t call her that] that I know of, but I was nice to her,” Trump told Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, co-host of the new program, “The Sunday Briefing.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Trump sat down with Doocy for an exclusive interview for the show’s debut episode, where he addressed the excerpt explored in a New York Times review of Harris’ new book, which chronicles her 2024 campaign run.<\/p>\n

According to the Times<\/a>, Harris said she urged Trump to help bring the country together but knew in the moment it was “a lost cause.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The review also cited Trump’s alleged words: “I am going to be so nice and respectful. You are a tough, smart customer, and I say that with great respect. And you also have a beautiful name. I got use of that name, it\u2019s Kamala.”<\/p>\n

Though Trump said he didn\u2019t recall offering Harris<\/a> that praise, he told Doocy he had “met her a couple of times” and “was always nice to her.”<\/p>\n

“I thought Kamala would have done a better job than she did in terms of running, because we really won by a lot. And I thought she would have done better,” he added.<\/p>\n

The interview also featured a lighter moment, with Trump helping Doocy record his first TikTok. Trump joked that he was “working very hard” to save the app \u2014 and Doocy\u2019s new show.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
