Vice President Kamala Harris is returning to a familiar theme in the closing weeks of the presidential race: making the election about former President Donald Trump.
On the heels of her own contentious interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier, Harris was in Wisconsin drawing attention to a Trump town hall instead.
“The American people are exhausted with his gaslighting,” Harris said of Trump referring to Jan. 6, 2021, as a “day of love” on Wednesday night. “Enough. We’re done. We’re ready to turn the page.”
After taking over the top of the ticket from President Joe Biden, Harris moved away from her boss’s heavy focus on “democracy” and Jan. 6. While Biden aides were convinced this was what spared Democrats a worse fate in the midterm elections two years ago. The top voter concerns were consistently the economy, high prices, and immigration.
Harris tried to erase her own connection to the border crisis, with a generous amount of help from the media, and started rolling out plans she said would combat elevated consumer prices. She was less defensive about Bidenomics than the sitting president, despite her own history touting the same policies.
But as Election Day approaches, Harris has returned to hammering Trump’s temperament and character. She is drawing attention to his raucous rallies and bombastic ways of expressing himself. She is campaigning with Never Trumpers, some of them lifelong Republicans supporting a Democratic presidential nominee for the first time, though many more of them have been off the GOP reservation since at least 2016.
