Donald Trump’s team is swiftly moving to discredit Vice President Kamala Harris as a continuation of President Joe Biden, following the latter’s decision to abandon his re-election bid on Sunday. With just four weeks until the Democrat National Convention and less than four months remaining before the general election, Trump’s camp has shifted its focus towards dismantling the image of Harris, who has been endorsed by Biden.
The Trump team wasted no time in releasing a statement asserting that Harris – whom Biden endorsed after his exit from the race – is “complicit” in Biden’s alleged “destruction of our once-great nation,” and that she is even worse for the country than her predecessor. Top Trump advisers Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles stated, “Kamala Harris is just as much of a joke as Biden is. Harris will be even WORSE for the people of our Nation than Joe Biden. Harris has been the Enabler in Chief for Crooked Joe this entire time.
Harris must defend the failed Biden Administration AND her liberal, weak-on-crime record in CA,” they added.
The Trump team also contends that Biden’s withdrawal from the race makes him a “national security threat” while he remains in the White House until the next president assumes office in January. Joe Biden cannot take himself out of a campaign for President because he is too mentally incompetent and still remain in the White House. Biden is a national security threat in great cognitive decline and a clear and present danger to every man, woman, and child in our country,” LaCivita and Wiles said.
The question then to Kamala Harris is simple: knowing that Joe Biden withdrew from the campaign because of his rapidly deteriorating condition, does Harris believe the people of America are safe and secure with Joe Biden in the White House for six more months?” they added.
The Republican National Committee issued a statement putting Harris in the same category as Biden, stating, “Every single failure we’ve seen from Joe Biden — the Afghanistan withdrawal, a border crisis, crushing inflation, and America weakened abroad — has been delivered hand-in-hand with Kamala Harris. Not only would Harris be a disaster in the White House, but she also helped Biden cover up his declining health while in office, which destroys her credibility.
MAGA Inc., a super PAC supporting Trump’s campaign, released an anti-Harris advertisement on Sunday afternoon that claimed Harris was in charge of the Biden administration due to the president’s mental decline. Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline. Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead,” the ad says.
The advertisement is set to air in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona as part of MAGA Inc.’s $5 million-a-week advertising commitment. With Biden’s endorsement, Harris is expected to be a top choice for delegates to vote for at the DNC in August. The vice president will likely have access to the fundraising dollars already raised by the Biden-Harris campaign and possesses the name recognition and White House record to back her candidacy. She has already accepted Biden’s endorsement.
However, other Democrats may choose to enter the nominating process in the next few weeks in an attempt to create an open convention with multiple candidates at the DNC in August.
