Trump-aligned Pacs will unleash wave of attacks, including TV ads, on record as vice-president and past in California
Donald Trump is scrambling to pivot his campaign against Kamala Harris, with attack ads hitting her current record in office and her past in California, according to two sources familiar with the matter, after Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race on Sunday.
The Trump campaign is viewing Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee, especially after Biden gave his endorsement, and started preparing opposition research dossiers against her in recent weeks. But as much as Biden’s withdrawal has left Democrats floundering ahead of its nominating convention next month, it has in many ways also flummoxed the Trump campaign.
Trump-aligned political action committees such as MAGA Inc will unleash a wave of attacks against Harris, including a $5m television ad in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, casting her as the puppet master in the Biden administration.
When your only game plan is smearing with little thought for other ways of getting elected like…established policies, actions to favour the majority of the common voter, and long-term progressive planning.
For some reason, whenever they talk about their actual plans and policies, the people don’t vote for them. How strange!
Attacking the other side is the only thing Trump’s camp has left.
Very different for Dems. No matter who the GOP candidate is, we know they are bad for reproductive rights, want to slash Medicare/Social Security, and cut taxes for the rich. Much easier to attack the party, rather than the person if necessary.
I mean, it would be nice if Dems went back to that, but I think they’ll keep running on how bad trump is like they have the last two elections.
It’s a terrible plan, and I hope Kamala is smart enough to see that.
