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.
The Lincoln Project went fast and hard on Trump LP ad
I haven’t agreed with everything the Lincoln Project stands for and the presentation of some ads, but Harris is an excellent pick for both centrists and progressives and LP does well here to highlight it.
Cops are bastards but the former AG would be a much better alternative than actual convicted criminals running the country. And she ran in a state that had much better ideas on what criminal justice means than other states.
For the moderates: How can someone whose entire enterprise is the crime, be tough on crime? How can anyone who has uttered the words “rule of law” in the past 4 years want someone who has spent much of their life dodging the law over someone who had a career in enforcing it?
You misunderstand. Republicans won’t come out and condemn her as “too tough on crime” directly; they’ll fund attack ads and troll farms that will present her as “not progressive enough” as a way to depress progressive voter turnout.
It’s not about trying to sway centrists, because even Republicans can recognize that that would look hypocritical and contradictory. It’s about encouraging infighting among leftists and liberals
Finally conservatives doing something sensible and contributory
