Trump allies intensify Harris attacks as Biden replacement talk builds

WASHINGTON, July 4 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's campaign and some of his allies have launched a pre-emptive political strike on Vice President Kamala Harris, moving swiftly to try to discredit her amid talk among some of her fellow Democrats that she might replace President Joe Biden atop the party's 2024 presidential ticket.

On social media and in a flurry of statements over the past 48 hours, Trump's campaign and his Republican allies appear to be laying the groundwork for an all-out assault on Harris should the 81-year-old Biden decide to end his re-election bid following his feeble debate performance last week.

While Biden has insisted he is not quitting the race four months before the Nov. 5 election, and Harris has stood firmly behind him, the Trump campaign has little to lose by attacking the vice president now, so that if Harris does emerge as the nominee, she might do so in a weakened state.

Republicans have regularly criticized Harris, 59, during Biden's term in office, but the attacks this week represented a sharp and seemingly coordinated escalation that appeared to be linked to increased talk about her possibly replacing Biden as the Democratic presidential candidate.

The National Republican Congressional Committee, which oversees House Republican races, called her Biden's "enabler in chief."

MAGA Inc., a fundraising super PAC supporting Trump, meanwhile released a statement calling her the "invasion czar." In March 2021 Biden said Harris would lead efforts with Mexico and Central American nations to address illegal immigration.

Republicans have since seized on that to accuse her of failing to stem the flow of millions of migrants crossing illegally into the United States, although she was never directly responsible for securing the southern border.

They could end up building sympathy for her.
She is her own worse enemy.
Trump could over do this. In fact, is likely to.

The ho is not an American. She’s an Indo/Jamaican foreign refugee. She had no business being in Washington D.C.

Notice the double standards in Reuters reporting. When Democrats criticize Trump, they are simply accusing him of something. When Republicans criticize Harris, it is an “attack” or “coordinated assault.”

Oh the suck! Oh the knee pads!

America would be in a world war within a month if she became president.

And Claybourne wants to make her Queen of America?

Another sock puppet who will try to rule by right of her race puppet groin like Kamala's protoges Fanni Willis and Letitia James?

Kamala has a weekly lunch with JoeyBoy - so she has seen every notch downward in his decline- and said nothing. she obviously is more interested in staying in power than in the welfare of the country.not presidential timber.

Agreed. Shouldn't we be encouraging the Dems to select her as their candidate?

She's a genuine idiot. To paraphrase her, she's "unburdened" by a brain.

And she is despised by her own staff.

How would a black, female world leader fare in direct talks with the Saudis? Would she have to wear a full hajib?

I agree.

You can’t make her look any worse that she makes herself look - if it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

When Trump was under attack by any ridiculous female…like Megyn Kelly ( blood coming out her everywhere) …any strong response he made was an “attack”…the pussy hat brigade/soccer moms/feminazis/soy boys/ young people will all swing toward Kameltoe as if she was another Trump “rape” victim.

I am apprehensive about Trump exercising extreme self-control to knock off the sarcasm and name-calling or he will just build her a sympathetic fan base.

She needs to show NO wit, wisdom, leadership, or accomplishments to build a base. The only issue she needs is to use Trump against Trump. Many many women already do NOT like or respect Trump. Face it, many women vote by emotion, not issue.

I say this as a woman.

I’m satisfied with the status quo.

The Democrat party is in severe disarray and doesn’t need to be bothered with outside assistance in destruction

Trump needs vivik. The smooth talking young motivational speaker

Unless jd Vance can speak as well as vivik. But I doubt it

Vivik was not my choice but after the Biden fiasco we will need a young smart speaker like vivik. He knows his stuff and he knows more facts then anyone else

moving swiftly to try to discredit her

This is one instance where I wish Trump would stand back and just let it all happen - and that's what he appeared to be doing until yesterday.

The Dems are in the process of imploding and destroying themselves. Harris has already discredited herself, is immensely unpopular (why she's been kept hidden by the Dems), dumb as a post (resorts to cackling when asked a question) - she needs no help from Trump to look like the clueless fool she is.

That said, I hope she IS the candidate, will be hilarious to see how the media will try to sell us this turkey, like putting lipstick on a pig - just as they're doing now with Biden - to the point where it's obvious the media can no longer prop up Biden, and look foolish for doing so.
