The Trump campaign’s first $12 million ad flight targeting Harris goes live in six swing states this morning, and it’s all about the border — tagging the VP as “failed, weak, dangerously liberal.”
“Under Harris, over 10 million illegally here.
A quarter of a million Americans dead from fentanyl.
Brutal migrant crimes. And ISIS — now here,” the voiceover says, cutting to footage from Harris’widely panned 2021 interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, where she scoffs at a question about visiting the border.
The new offensive suggests that, after a week of scrambling to find the best message for attacking Trump’s new rival, his campaign admakers are sticking with the tried-and-true.
What’s conspicuously not included are suggestions that she’s a “DEI hire,” allegations she covered up Biden’s mental state, clips of her laughing, mentions of Venn diagrams or any of the other attacks that have gone viral among the MAGA faithful but do little to move the needle among a broader audience.
“The Harris campaign will rebut most of Republicans’ attacks by arguing that they are exaggerating or lying about her record,” Epstein continued, later quoting Harris campaign spokesman BRIAN FALLON arguing that Harris’ “years spent in law enforcement and her record in the Biden-Harris administration defy Trump’s attempts to define her through lies.”

Roughly speaking, the strategy of the Harris campaign should be to triangulate the strategy of Hillary 2016, the Harris 2020 primary campaign, and Biden 2024, and do the exact opposite.

She’s been running some sort of median voter theorem campaign so far. Changing her stances on fracking, Medicare for all, banning assault weapons, etc.
I believe she’s betting anyone left of her will vote for her over Trump. And her main job therefore is to get voters in the middle that feel politically homeless if they must choose between populist right and progressive left.

Thats exactly what has just worked for Starmer in the UK
@SoreS3nateRepublican2yrs2Y
The entire party has become an identity cult so I doubt they will do anything different.
“Those dudes are weird”
Groundbreaking stuff from that campaign
Given the fact they’re spending money and time in Georgia shows that the Harris campaign is going more “full Hillary” than Hillary did.

If white dudes for Trump organized a zoom call how do you think the New York Times would cover it?
even the lowest bar in the world for media outlets suggest it's amazing that they are leaning into this
The FBI would also probably raid the hosts of the white dudes for Trump call lmao.
@Supr3meCourtClam2yrs2Y
Guaranteed they'd make some allusion to the Nuremberg rallies. They always do whenever there's a large turnout for a candidate they oppose.
@C0ngressMuesliVeteran2yrs2Y
They'd call it a far right extremist group
