Republicans And Trump Attack Kamala Harris

Republicans reportedly argue that a vote to reelect Joe is really a vote for Kamala. After Biden’s questionable performance at last week’s presidential debate, some Democrats began calling for him to step down. Harris replacing Biden was once dismissed as a far-right conspiracy. However, many Republicans and Donald Trump believe this is true.

Trump and his allies have been rolling out new attack lines against Harris, insulting her abilities, painting her as Biden’s chief enabler, and accusing her of being part of a coverup of his health. The former president reportedly took to his Truth Social site on Independence Day (July 4) to single Harris out. He described her as his “potentially new Democrat Challenger” and gave her the new nickname: “Laffin’ Kamala Harris.”

“She did poorly in the Democrat Nominating process, starting out at Number Two and ending up defeated and dropping out, even before getting to Iowa, but that doesn’t mean she’s not a ‘highly talented’ politician! Just ask her Mentor, the Great Willie Brown of San Fransico,” Donald wrote.  Harris reportedly dated Brown in the mid-1900s.

Donald Trump Seemingly Criticizes Biden’s Health

Trump also took shots at Biden. The controversial figure was filmed on a golf course calling Biden an “old broken down pile of crap” and claimed that he had driven the president from the race, per The National Desk. Furthermore, he stated, “He’s quitting the race. And that means we have Kamala. I think she’s going to be better. She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic.” 

It is unclear if Kamala Harris could give Trump a run for his money compared to Biden. AP Polls show that Harris’ favorability ratings are similar to Biden’s and Trump’s. Replacing a candidate this late in the game is risky. It would be an unprecedented move in modern history.

Biden is standing on business. He stated that he had no plans to drop out of the race. He told reporters this is not a possibility and that he’s “completely ruling that out.”
