Kamala Harris had a pithy retort to Trump's sarcastic sympathy tweet


Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) ended her presidential campaign on Tuesday, and President Trump interrupted his NATO summit in London to bid her a sarcastic farewell. Harris pointedly reminded Trump that she isn't actually going anywhere, and she will be on the jury for his likely impeachment trial.
When Harris entered the race with a rally that drew an estimated 20,000 people, Trump was impressed — and, according to his friends and observers, worried. And as Harris suggested, she will have more time now to use her seats on the Senate Judiciary and Intelligence Committees — and her skills as a former prosecutor — to help shape the impeachment effort as it ambles toward the Senate.
