Trove of Kamala Harris Videos Touting Progressive Policy Imperils Campaign

of The New York Times Vice President Kamala Harris’ far-left policies during the 2019 campaign are reportedly jeopardizing her 2024 presidential bid..

Republicans have signaled they are preparing for Harris’ candidacy just days after President Joe Biden was reportedly ousted as the Democratic nominee amid a behind-the-scenes pressure campaign by Democratic Party officials, donors and Hollywood elites.

As Times Reporter Reed Epstein I got it. Several videos and policy ideas that Harris, who has held elected office since 2004, championed during the last presidential election were already “coming back to haunt” her again on Monday.

For example, the pro-Trump super PAC Make America Great Again Inc. was quick to attack Harris. Shortly after Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, the group ran an ad highlighting how Harris would continue in Biden’s same tradition as vice president.

They also ran ads examining her background and exposing her as “dangerously liberal.”

Tens of millions of dollars’ worth of airtime has been booked in battleground states through Labor Day, with many more ads planned.

The campaign of Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pennsylvania, released an ad on Tuesday exposing Harris’s background and views and linking her to his opponent, Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pennsylvania.

In the video, she discusses her belief that illegal immigration should be decriminalized and highlights her vision for banning fracking, among many other far-left positions she has taken. Said She reversed the issue on Friday, saying she doesn’t support a ban on fracking, but hill report.

“The Republican Party is a big player in the Democratic Party,” said Brad Todd, a Republican strategist who works on Pennsylvania Republican campaigns. Times Harris’ “archives are deep.”

“Time will run out before we run out of video clips of Kamala Harris making some wacky California liberal remark. I’m not sure there’s anything else in the rest of this campaign,” Todd stressed.

As Times As noted, Harris was no shortage of material for the Republican Party during the 2020 presidential campaign.

At the time, she opposed fracking, said she would “consider” abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, called the idea of ​​hiring more police officers a “wrong idea,” and embraced the idea of ​​allowing felons to vote. He proposed implementing a “mandatory buyback program” for some firearms and called for the abolition of private health insurance.

A central focus of the left’s efforts to broaden Harris’ support to swing voters is to use her background as a prosecutor to brand her as a law-and-order Democrat.

Harris’ 2020 campaign came to a screeching halt ahead of the Iowa caucuses due to internal turmoil. And his relationship with campaign manager Juan Rodiguez has soured. Times I got it. at that time. “He was a very good man,” said Gil Duran, a former Harris aide. Times In 2019, he said, “If you can’t campaign, you can’t run a country.”

Breitbart News reported a similar angle on Monday. Times A July 23 article noted that Harris’ record was “troubling” House Democrats.

“Kamala Harris is allowing the Republican campaign to speak with surgical precision to voters about how her dangerous San Francisco liberal policies will make their lives worse,” Republican National Congressional Committee (NRCC) spokesman Will Reinert told Breitbart News. “Harris’ 2019 presidential primary campaign is a Republican ad maker’s dream and a battleground Democrat’s nightmare.”

Just a few days later, on Thursday, when CNN’s Manu Raju approached her NRCC counterpart, Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.), chair of the Democratic House Campaign Committee, to ask whether she thought it was a good idea for vulnerable Democrats to align with Kamala Harris, DelBene tried to distance her colleagues from the vice president.

“All our elections are local elections. It’s about our candidates and the caliber of candidates,” she said.

“You don’t think this will be nationalised?” Raju continued.

“I think in congressional elections, it’s going to be about each district, who the candidates are and how they stand up for their community,” DelBene responded.
