'Unnerved': Fox News contributor walks back Trump praise and says Harris is 'in his head'

Former Democratic lawmaker and failed U.S. Senate candidate Harold Ford Jr. walked back his compliments of former President Donald Trump after what some called a "flailing" press conference Thursday.

Speaking to "The Five," Ford rambled about Trump spending his Sept. 10 debate focusing on Vice President Kamala Harris' policies.

Co-host Jesse Watters cut into his comments to rant about "Princess Kamala" and talk about a "spa day."

"I called Donald Trump three months ago the greatest political athlete I had seen in politics," Ford said. Trump has spent the weeks since the Republican National Convention holding fewer rallies while holding up at his country club in Florida.

"He is not measuring up to that title any longer," continued Ford. "This kid on the Democratic side is in his head. He is unsettled by her. He is unnerved by her. He has not figured out how to substantively — how to campaign himself."

Trump is scheduled to speak at a fundraiser in Montana on Friday night before returning to Florida.
