The summary is made by artificial intelligence and checked by a human.
Republicans are preparing to campaign against Kamala Harris.
Harris’ role in the Biden administration and his background as California’s attorney general provide Republicans with ammunition for campaigning.
The question of Harris’s gender will probably come up in Trump’s campaign, believes PhD researcher Pekka Kolehmainen from the University of Turku.
Stateside the republicans have already prepared for the fact that the current vice president will become the democrats’ presidential candidate Terrible Harris.
Although the president Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he was withdrawing from the November elections, there has been speculation about his departure for weeks. During that time, Trump’s campaign team has been preparing ads for Harris’ current term as Biden’s vice president, the US newspaper reported The New York Times on Saturday.
As early as Saturday, the Republican candidate Donald Trump mocked Harris and especially his laugh at a campaign rally in Michigan.
“I call her laughing Kamala. Have you seen him laugh? He’s crazy. You know, you can tell a lot based on laughter. He’s crazy, he’s deranged,” Trump tweeted, referring to videos circulating on social media of Harris laughing.
I laugh moreover, Republicans’ main weapon against Harris will likely be his role, or lack thereof, in the Biden administration.
“Many of the same sins are laid against Harris as against Biden. Harris has not been a very visible vice president, this has been visible in the Republican campaign even before the decision to withdraw,” states the research doctor Pekka Kolehmainen From the John Morton Center for North American Studies at the University of Turku.
For example, at Saturday’s campaign event, Trump’s vice presidential candidate JD Vance hinted that Harris has done little as vice president.
“I have served in the United States Marine Corps and founded a company. What else have you done but collect paychecks?” Vance said Saturday.
Republicans are also believed to be seizing on the false claim that Harris withheld information about Biden’s deteriorating health from the public.
You got a taste of this right away on Sunday, when Vance reacted In the X service to the news of Biden’s withdrawal by claiming that Harris had lied to the public about Biden’s ability to serve as president for the past four years.
“You have to remember that Trump’s attacks don’t have to be strongly based on the truth,” states Kolehmainen.
As vice president Harris also has the thankless task of finding solutions to the flow of migrants at the southern border of the United States.
“Harris has worked on immigration, which is a core area of Trump’s policy. It’s easy for Republicans to blame Harris for Biden’s immigration policy,” reflects Kolehmainen.
In addition to their campaign, Republicans are believed to be picking up material from Harris’ time as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general. Through Harris as Attorney General is review for example, for refusing to ease the situation in California’s overcrowded prisons by releasing inmates convicted of non-violent crimes.
On Sunday, less than an hour after Biden’s announcement, Trump’s campaign team began to publish clips of Harris’ previous statements that divided voters on social media, says news agency AP. This includes, for example, Harris’s support for banning plastic straws.
Harris’s campaign team already had time to comment on the Trump campaign’s attacks on Saturday.
“After getting tired border agreement Trump resorts to lying about the vice president’s achievements. As a former district attorney and attorney general, Harris has stood up to crooks and criminals like Trump throughout his career,” said a representative of Harris’ campaign. Brian Fallon of The New York Times by.
It, whether the Trump campaign intends to use Harris’ gender or race to further their own interests is still a big question mark. In the worst case, campaigning seen as tasteless could drive voters away from Trump’s camp.
“The issue of race is certainly something that the Trump campaign balances with. Racial attacks, how they are carried out and in which contexts, are a big question mark,” says Kolehmainen.
In the history of the United States, only one black president has been elected, and not a single woman. If Harris were to become president, he would break several glass ceilings.
Kolehmainen believes that Harris’ gender will probably come up in Trump’s campaign. Kolehmainen is familiar with, among other things, right-wing politics in the United States, culture wars and controversies related to gender.
“[Vuoden 2016 presidentinvaaleissa] Hillary Clinton with gender came to the fore, and will certainly come up again this year. The question is, what means will be used to talk about these issues.”
