Outside a marketing campaign fundraiser in Pittsfield, Mass., a supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris held up a easy white signal with crisp blue letters. It learn: “Trump is Weird.”
Inside the packed theater, Harris made clear she was embracing the adjective for her Republican opponents, because the assaults in opposition to her ramp up per week into her marketing campaign for President. Both former President Donald Trump and his operating mate, Senator J.D. Vance of Ohio, try to outline Harris, a former prosecutor, as comfortable on crime and unlawful immigration. Vance has additionally urged Harris, who’s a stepmother, doesn’t perceive the wants of organic mother and father, having described her in 2021 as one of many “childless cat women” who “need to make the remainder of the nation depressing too.”
“You could have seen, Donald Trump has been resorting to some wild lies about my file,” Harris informed the enthusiastic crowd on the Berkshires fundraiser. “And a few of what he and his operating mate are saying, nicely, it is simply plain bizarre. I imply that is the field you set that in.”
Harris and her marketing campaign are working to rapidly redefine the race, partly by bringing extra consideration to the idiosyncrasies of Trump’s speeches and interviews, which veer from nationalist fervor, to odd anecdotes about sharks and Hannibal Lecter. After a Fox News look this week, Harris’ marketing campaign launched a press launch that included the rhetorical questions, “Is Donald Trump okay?” and “Trump is outdated and fairly bizarre?”
On Friday, Harris’ marketing campaign wrote “JD Vance is bizarre and creepy,” on X, previously generally known as Twitter, together with a press launch highlighting Vance’s previous statements favoring legal guidelines to limit abortion entry.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who is alleged to be on Harris’ shortlist of potential operating mates, was early in deploying “bizarre” as an assault on Trump and Vance. “These guys are simply bizarre,” he stated on MSNBC on Tuesday. “They’re operating for He-Man women-haters’ membership or one thing. That’s what they go at. That’s not what persons are concerned with.”
Harris can also be now making an attempt to color Trump as operating scared from a debate along with her. Trump this week backed out of a deliberate Sept. 10 debate that had been initially scheduled in opposition to President Joe Biden, earlier than Biden dropped out and endorsed Harris.
“You could have seen he simply pulled out of our debate,” Harris stated Saturday on the fundraiser, the place she was launched by musician James Taylor. “I hope he reconsiders as a result of we now have rather a lot to speak about.”
