Republicans being unable to stop themselves from being racist and sexist might well play in Harris’ favour here. The vast majority of racists and sexists were going to vote for Trump anyway, but this type of approach and messaging might alienate some moderate undecided voters.
Just hours after she announced her candidacy, Trump’s super PAC released an ad attacking Harris, claiming she “covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline” and that she “knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it” herself.
Is this really the own he thinks it is? By most measures the Biden/Harris term has been fairly successful so giving your opponent credit for the lions share of that work is certainly an interesting strategy. And the coverup is a fairly toothless accusation since Biden actually stepped down in time.
Yeah but I don’t think you were considering voting for Trump… I think that in practice associating her with an unpopular president’s actions isn’t a bad idea when her main selling point is that she isn’t either Biden or Trump.
Biden’s approval rating is lower than Trump’s is right now and lower than Trump’s was at any time between this point during his presidency and the 2020 election, although it isn’t lower than Trump’s was at the lowest point during his presidency.
It’s also lower than Nixon’s or GWB’s were at any point during their first terms (although GWB isn’t a useful reference due to 9/11).
yeah Im comparing presidential terms but im not so sure trumps was not lower at the end of his one term but again I was just using full term ratings although bidens is tentative since we can’t get the last 6 monthsish.
Trump’s was lower at the end of his term than Biden’s is now, but I’m not sure how relevant that is since it was after everyone knew that Trump had lost the election (and then after the January 6th riot).

wait so their attack is saying she is the one really responsible for one of the best presidential terms of my lifetime. bold move cotton.
Would be funny to run back the “I approve of this message” counterplay, but I think they have too much respect for Biden to do that.

Well unpopular unless you are comparing to nixon or bush junior or donald trump approval ratings.

He is deeply misogynistic. He doesn’t understand - and is in fact frightened by - intelligent, incisive, and competent women.
The real reason trump won’t debate
