Harris Dials Up the Anti-Trump Rhetoric as Campaign Heats Up

Kamala Harris is finally showing her true colors as the campaign heads into its final stretch—and they’re not pretty.

With the presidential race hanging by a thread in swing states, Harris has launched an aggressive attack campaign against former President Trump, hoping to scare voters into submission.

At a glance:

  • Harris has shifted focus to attacking Trump, believing it will help drive Democratic voter turnout.
  • Allies claim Harris is now focusing on contrasting herself with Trump as polls in key states remain tight.
  • Harris attacked Trump over his controversial comments on the January 6 Capitol riot and his suggestions about using the military.

With polls tightening in swing states, Harris has made a strategic shift, ramping up her attacks against Trump. Democratic insiders say this move is designed to remind voters of Trump’s controversial past and sway them toward Harris as the “better option.” The campaign seems to believe the more Trump is painted as a threat, the more likely voters will back Harris.

In a rally this week, Harris attacked Trump’s recent statement at a Univision town hall, where he referred to the January 6 Capitol insurrection as a “day of love.” Harris described the event as a day of “terrible violence,” pointing out the injuries sustained by law enforcement officers. She continued to hammer Trump for what she called “gaslighting,” telling supporters, “We are ready to turn the page.”

In another appearance, Harris slammed Trump over comments he made about using the military to handle “the enemy from within” on Election Day. She warned that Trump’s words suggested a dangerous inclination to target journalists, election officials, and judges—anyone who dares oppose him. Her campaign has even released a new ad titled “Enemy Within,” playing up these concerns.

As her poll numbers have stagnated, particularly among key voting blocs like Black and Latino men, Harris seems to be banking on a strategy of “not being Trump” to secure votes. Democrats are concerned she may face a 2016-style loss if she can’t win over moderates or Republican defectors.

In many ways, Harris is returning to her prosecutor roots, presenting herself as the one to make the case against Trump. Whether that approach will win over voters or alienate them remains to be seen.

She’s getting angry, guys. And it’s because she’s losing.
