Washington: Former US president Donald trump said on Monday his presumptive Democratic opponent Kamala Harris would be "easier" to beat in November's election than President Joe Biden.
"She's far more radical than he is... So I think she should be easier than Biden, because he was slightly more mainstream, but not much," Trump said on a call with reporters.
'Will absolutely debate Harris'
Trump pledged on Tuesday to take part in at least one presidential debate with Harris.
"Oh, yes, absolutely. I want to. I think it's important," he said on a call with reporters, adding that "I would be willing to do more than one debate, actually."

Kamala Harris hits the US campaign trail Tuesday after effectively clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, heading to the battleground state of Wisconsin to renew her attacks on Republican candidate Donald Trump.
The vice president took just 36 hours to secure enough delegates to be nominated, moving with lightning speed after President Joe Biden's exit from the race triggered one of the largest election upheavals in modern US history.
Top Democratic congressional chiefs -- Senator Chuck Schumer and House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries -- threw their weight behind her in a press conference.
Hollywood star George Clooney -- who made waves earlier this month as one of the first high-profile Democratic activists to urge Biden to drop his reelection bid -- also said he is now behind 59-year-old Harris's campaign to face Trump in November.
On her trip to Milwaukee, Harris was expected to launch another attack on convicted felon Trump as she leans into her past role as California's top prosecutor.
"She is prepared to prosecute the case against Donald Trump," said Wisconsin campaign spokeswoman Brianna Johnson.
