Kamala Harris, now the Democratic nominee, sees JD Vance, Trump’s VP pick, as a weakness to target. Harris plans to highlight Vance’s lack of experience and questionable views.
Her campaign argues that Vance, being Trump’s choice, raises concerns about Trump’s judgment and age, especially with a 78-year-old president.
This focus on Vance is a way to show that Harris’s VP pick will be more experienced and prepared, contrasting sharply with Vance.
Harris’s team, including her advisors, are emphasizing Vance’s limited qualifications and inconsistent positions.
They point out that while Harris herself had more Senate experience before her presidential run, her VP candidates have even more substantial resumes.
This approach aims to reinforce Harris’s readiness and the importance of having a competent vice president, especially considering Trump’s age and health.
The strategy also addresses Republican criticisms of Harris, arguing that the same scrutiny applied to her should apply to Vance. By highlighting these issues, Harris hopes to gain an advantage in the upcoming election.
