Kamala Harris will be a hard nut for Trump- Nigeria's Former Foreign Affairs Minister

Bolaji Akinyemi, the former minister of foreign affairs, predicts that Kamala Harris will be a formidable rival to Donald Trump in the upcoming election, emphasizing how difficult it will be for him to defeat her.

Joe Biden abruptly withdrew from the US presidential contest on Sunday and supported Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's new contender, upending the already historic contest for the presidency.

Biden stated that leaving the race was in the best interests of his party and the nation in the letter announcing his withdrawal.

"Being your president has been the greatest honor of my life. Even though I had intended to run for reelection, I think it would be better for my party and the nation if I stepped down and concentrated only on finishing my term as president, Biden had stated.

During a Monday appearance on Arise News, Akinyemi responded to the news by praising Biden for selecting Kamala Harris to succeed him.

"President Biden's selection of Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate is a good choice, not necessarily because of her own character but rather because she is the Vice President," he declared.

“I hope nobody is going to underestimate Kamala Harris. She had to keep a low profile, and I said three weeks ago that when you are the Vice President, you cannot be seen outshining the President. You do what the President tells you to do.”

“Kamala Harris is going to be a hard nut for Trump to crack. Be careful of lawyers, especially someone who has been an attorney general and a prosecutor. She will take you to pieces with the way she will put her own questions and the way she will use you to wipe the floor. She won the Senate seat by 60% from California when she ran, so you see that she is not an easy nut to crack.”
