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.
Look at it the other way, it’s a loyalty test, just like The Emperor’s New Clothes.
They’re in a cult, part of that is the continual reinforcing of their own “reality”. The enemy is simultaneously very weak and incredibly strong. Biden is calling the shots and Harris is running everything from the shadows.
These people thrive on cognitive dissonance, it’s the only way they can tell if they still have neurons left firing.
