WATCH: Trump says Viktor Orban thinks he is 'the most respected, most feared person'

In response to Vice President Kamala Harris' claim that "world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump" and have told her that the former president is a "disgrace," Trump said he has support from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

"Look, Viktor Orban said it. He said 'the most respected, most feared person is Donald Trump. We had no problems when Trump was president, but when this weak pathetic man that you saw at a debate just a few months ago that if [Trump wasn't] in that debate, [Biden would] be running instead of [Harris]. [Harris] got no votes. [Trump's] got 14 million votes.'" Trump said.

Harris and Trump met for their first and possibly only debate on Sept. 10, hosted by ABC in Philadelphia. Harris replaced President Joe Biden as the Democratic presidential nominee this summer after Biden gave a troubling debate performance in June, increasing calls for him to drop out of the race.

According to the latest PBS News/NPR/Marist poll, more than two-thirds of Americans say they will watch all or most of the debate. While many voters have already made up their minds, 14 percent of Americans say the debate will have a great impact on which candidate they choose.
