Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party are utilizing personal attacks on Kamala Harris, as they did on Barack Obama in 2008 and throughout his Presidency.
It is totally disgusting that Republicans mispronounce her name; say she is a “DEI” candidate; and ridicule the fact that she laughs heartily.
This is backfiring, as already, it is clear that it is alienating large numbers of women; drawing growing support of minorities who were not enthusiastic about Joe Biden running for reelection;and exciting younger voters who might have tuned out, due to “two old guys” competing in a second round running for President.
Instead, now that Donald Trump is the lone “old guy” in the Presidential race, suddenly the enthusiasm that Trump thought he had built up by picking Ohio Senator JD Vance as his running mate, has disintegrated with Vance’s attack on what he calls “cat ladies” who remain single and have no “skin in the game” of America’s future, an outrageous utterance!
The momentum of this Presidential race is changing rapidly in favor of Kamala Harris, as she aims to be the first mixed race woman President, another step forward after Barack Obama became the first African American President!
On Sunday morning, CNN host Jake Tapper faced an avalanche of criticism after inviting Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) on to talk about the changing presidential race now that Vice President Kamala Harris appears to be the 2024 Democratic presidential candidate.
What happened was Tapper sitting back and letting Cotton ramble with no fact-checking as Cotton went on extensive rants about Harris — all of them current MAGA talking points about the vice president who Republicans are trying to paint as more liberal than Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
Moments after the interview with Cotton, social media lit up with criticism of the “State of the Union” noting he failed to do any “pushback.”
