Harris tries to avoid the issues by focusing on Trump
With the end of her abbreviated presidential campaign in sight, Kamala Harris is trying to put the focus squarely on Donald Trump and allegations he presents a threat to democratic institutions, echoing the strategy used by Joe Biden before he ended his reelection bid.
It's a bet that fear of the former Republican president can rally Harris supporters and nudge undecided voters to her side in the final days. Harris' challenge will be connecting philosophical questions about American democracy with the everyday concerns of individual Americans on such things as abortion, the economy and the border.
The effort will be on full display Tuesday, when Harris delivers what her team describes as her closing argument from the Ellipse, the grassy space adjacent to the National Mall in Washington. It’s the same place where Trump stood when he urged his supporters to march on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to challenge what he called a rigged 2020 election.
By her choice of location, the vice president is drawing attention to Trump critics' claims that the ex-president is intent on having unchecked power, an issue that also animated Biden's aborted reelection campaign. Biden spoke frequently about the battle for democratic values — sometimes, according to his critics, to the detriment of economic and other more concrete concerns.
...
The honest media should find no merit in this argument. Trump was a much more successful president than Biden, and Harris is actually less intelligent than the dementia-driven Biden. Those with an irrational fear of Trump must not have been paying attention during his presidency when inflation was under control and the world was a safer place.
Harris comes across to many as an inarticulate dingbat. If her only argument is about Trump rather than about the real issues important to voters she deserves to lose. Other than that she should lose in a landslide where it not for a biased media that ignores Trump's actual record as presdient.
