The Trump campaign released a memo arguing that Vice President Kamala Harris has set herself up for a tough debate.
The statement ahead of Tuesday’s debate emphasized that Harris has yet to hold a solo interview or press conference in the 50 days since she was appointed the Democratic nominee.
“The Obama advisors calling the shots at her campaign who advised her to hide for seven weeks have only raised the bar for Kamala tomorrow. By shielding her from the press and insulating her from genuine interactions with the voters, they have set a high bar for Kamala to clear,” Trump spokespersons Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles wrote.
“Now that her honeymoon is over, the debate will be the first time Kamala will answer tough questions. In doing so, Kamala Harris will be revealed to America as a Radical Left lunatic,” they added.
LaCivita and Wiles also highlighted Trump’s recent poll advantage on key political issues.
“As the latest NYT/Siena poll shows, voters say that President Trump will do a better job on the economy, inflation, jobs, immigration — the top issues voters are most concerned with — that’s why President Trump is leading her in their poll,” they wrote.
“Those poll results underscore that after spending over $250 million on ads over just seven weeks coupled with the most positive stretch of media coverage, Harris and her allies have failed to convince voters that Harris doesn’t own the failures of the last 3.5 years and that she still isn’t the radical liberal who has embraced kooky ideas throughout her career,” the spokespersons explained.
The memo also comes as Harris released a policy page on her website just one day ahead of her debate with Trump.
“Kamala finally has what is very generously being described as a ‘policy page’ on her website. She says her plan is a ‘New Way Forward,’ but she’s been in the White House for 4 years, and it’s been a total disaster,” Trump’s campaign responded on X.
The policy page from Harris mentioned Trump 29 times, emphasizing her opponent rather than her views. She also continues to show separation from President Joe Biden, despite serving as his vice president for the past four years.
Among several criticisms in the Trump campaign’s response was the change in costs for Americans.
“Prices have risen by over 20% under Harris,” another post said. “If Kamala could lower prices, why hasn’t she done it already?”
The presidential debate is scheduled for Tuesday at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on ABC.
