Trump's Misleading Claims About Harris' Bar Exam Resurface

Former President Trump inaccurately portrays Vice President Kamala Harris' bar exam history during a recent interview.

  • Kamala Harris failed the California bar exam on her first attempt in 1989 but passed on her second try in 1990.
  • Trump questioned Harris' cognitive ability, using her initial bar exam failure as evidence.
  • The California bar exam is known for its difficulty, with low pass rates for both first-time and repeat test takers.
  • Harris' legal career includes roles as district attorney, attorney general of California, U.S. senator, and vice president.
  • Trump's comments were part of a broader series of attacks during his interview at the National Association of Black Journalists conference.
