Former President Donald Trump recently made controversial remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris during a panel interview at the National Association of Black Journalists convention. Despite efforts by Harris' campaign to portray her as 'dangerously liberal,' Trump attacked her racial identity, stating that she 'happened to turn Black.'
Republicans have advised Trump to focus on policy rather than race or identity. Senator Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, emphasized the importance of highlighting Harris' political record and judgment instead of her heritage.
During a rally in Atlanta, Trump aimed to diminish Harris' momentum since launching her campaign, labeling her as a 'horror show.' He also criticized Governor Brian Kemp, a fellow Republican, for not supporting him in the state's GOP primary.
The Trump and Harris campaigns have been engaged in a public dispute over debate arrangements. Trump initially agreed to a September 10 ABC News debate but later backed out, proposing a Fox News debate on September 4 instead. Harris' campaign confirmed her attendance at the ABC News event and mocked Trump for withdrawing from it.
The ongoing exchanges between the two campaigns reflect the intense political climate leading up to the upcoming election. As the race continues to unfold, the focus on policy, judgment, and debate participation remains crucial for both candidates.
