ATLANTA, GEORGIA: Kamala Harris took an aim at Donald Trump during a rally in Atlanta this weekend, ridiculing his self-coined term “The Weave,” an explanation he has given for what many critics describe as “rambling” during speeches and interviews.

The Vice President also targeted the Republican presidential candidate’s refusal to engage in another debate, his cancellation of interviews, and reports of his "exhaustion."

He argued that while some consider it genius, others accuse him of rambling. “I do a thing called The Weave,” said the former president.

“There are those that are fair who say, ‘this guy is so genius!’ And then others would say, ‘he rambled.’ I don’t ramble if I start a story,” he added.

However, Harris was quick to dismiss Trump's explanation, using it as a focal point of her speech.

"And when he does answer a question or speak at a rally, have you noticed he tends to go off script and ramble?" she asked the crowd.

"And generally for the life of him cannot finish a thought. And he has called it ‘The Weave,’" she laughingly said, adding, "But I think we here will call it nonsense!"

"Over and over again, he has no plan for how he would address the needs of the American people. He is only focused on himself, and now he’s ducking debates and canceling interviews because of exhaustion!" she told the crowd.

The Vice President emphasized that Trump’s political playbook is outdated and that his approach no longer resonates with a country looking for solutions to pressing issues.

"It is just the same old tired playbook. For these reasons and more, it is time to turn the page. It’s time to turn the page," said Harris.

"We are ready for a new and optimistic generation of leadership!" she declared, adding, "Americans really want a president who works for all the American people," according to Mediaite.

Harris' speech concluded with a strong call to action as she energized the crowd by painting a stark contrast between her vision for the future and Trump’s leadership style, which she portrayed as self-serving and out of touch.
