Kamala Harris insulted rump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic in a speech Thursday designed to prebut rump's own appearance at the Republican National Convention hours later.

Ticking through what she characterized as rump's early missteps, she said: "Donald Trump froze. He was scared. And he was petty and vindictive."

 She said rump was "fixated on the stock market" and "caved" to the Chinese government. "And here's what you have to understand about the nature of a pandemic: It's relentless. You can't stop it with a tweet.

You can't create a distraction and hope it'll go away. It doesn't go away," she said.

Harris' remarks were part of the Joe Biden campaign's efforts to counter the rump -- a push that also included Biden interviews on cable news channels Thursday afternoon and a blistering new ad set to run before the rump accepts his party's renomination.
