“I thought she was gone, we hit her very hard six months ago,” he added, referring to his campaign’s attacks aimed at Warren for her past claims of Native American heritage.

“I give her credit, she’s emerging from the ashes,” Trump continued, adding: “Not a nice person.”

Trump’s comments are some of his first direct attacks aimed at Warren in months, following weeks of Trump surrogates attacking Biden, who has typically been seen as the front-runner in the Democratic primary.
