President Donald Trump expressed excitement Monday at the prospect of running for president next year against Sen. Elizabeth Warren but told a Fox News interviewer that “you would have to ask her psychiatrist” if the Massachusetts Democrat believes she can beat him.
Earlier Monday, Warren (D-Mass.) announced she would launch an exploratory presidential committee, making her the highest-profile entrant in what is expected to be a crowded 2020 Democratic primary field. Trump, who has regularly targeted Warren for criticism and ridicule, salivated at the possibility that she might win the Democratic nomination.
"We’ll see how she does. I wish her well, I hope she does well, I’d love to run against her," the president told Fox News in an interview during the network’s New Year’s Eve coverage.
Asked if he believes Warren thinks she can unseat him, Trump replied, “well, that I don’t know. You’d have to ask her psychiatrist."
The president has long derided Warren over her claimed Native American heritage, pinning her with the nickname “Pocahontas,” a line of attack that some have said is laced with racism.
Warren sought to settle the question of her ancestry last fall by releasing the results of a DNA test that suggested that she has Native American heritage that dates back somewhere between six and 10 generations. But the DNA test results were met with significant criticism, including that her Native American ancestry is too diluted and too far in the past for her to claim it.
In his interview with Fox News, Trump mocked Warren once again for claiming Native American ancestry.
"I think you have more than she does,” Trump said of Warren’s Native American ancestry to interviewer Pete Hegseth. “And maybe I do too, and I have nothing."
