During an appearance on Fox News talk show 'Gutfield' on Wednesday, Donald Trump expressed surprise, remarking that "a woman," Kamala Harris, seems to be performing better than Joe Biden in the election race against him.

During his appearance, Trump revisited some familiar anecdotes from his June appearance, including a story about military pilots who, he claimed, looked "better" than Tom Cruise and reported seeing UFOs.

However, when it came time to discuss his second Democratic opponent in this year's presidential election, the former president and GOP nominee seemed surprised that someone of the opposite gender was performing comparatively well.

Trump stated "And she somehow—a woman—somehow she's doing better than he did."

Trump resumed his typical arguments, claiming Harris' success is unlikely to last because of her alleged shortcomings on immigration issues even though she was never officially assigned as the border czar, according to officials. Her role involved diplomatic work to tackle poverty and other causes of emigration from Central and South America.
Recent polls indicate that Harris is performing better than Trump, while a Fox News poll released Wednesday shows her leading by two points nationally.
