Top Donald Trump advisers warn Kamala Harris could be ‘worse’ than Joe Biden

Kamala Harris
While Team Trump sounds warnings, Kamala Harris trumpets fundraising.

Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles are blunt when assessing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris.

“The liberal elite and deep state – sensing the American public’s disgust with their lawfare, and now in a desperate Hail Mary – have swapped out an incumbent President for the incumbent Vice President in a ploy to try and shake up the race. The problem for the left and media elite? Kamala Harris is as bad, if not worse, than Joe Biden,” they wrote in a “state of play” memo Monday.

They claim the campaign shows how “the left and deep state have pulled out all the stops in their maniacal attempts to retain power,” and in that context, this “is a new fight for American Independence.”

“The restoration of American Independence … starts today. This ‘War on Democracy’ – will be stopped by the man who took a bullet for Democracy,” the consultants add.

Meanwhile, the Harris campaign closed Monday by trumpeting historic fundraising: $81 million in the first 24 hours of the race, with 888,000 donations, 60% of whom are first-time donors.

“The historic outpouring of support for Vice President Harris represents exactly the kind of grassroots energy and enthusiasm that wins elections. Already, we are seeing a broad and diverse coalition come together to support our critical work of talking to the voters (who) will decide this election. There is a groundswell behind Kamala Harris, and Donald Trump is terrified because he knows his divisive, unpopular agenda can’t stand up to the Vice President’s record and vision for the American people,” said Kevin Munoz on behalf of the campaign.

    Trump is the oldest major party-nominated candidate for president in US history.
    He is the only twice-impeached presidential candidate in history.
    He lost the popular vote. Twice.
    He’s a convicted felon, found liable for sexual assault, and fraud.
    Trump’s administration set a record for most indictments: 215.
    (Obama and Biden administration indictments: 0)
    Trump is the only US president who refused to accept the outcome of a free and fair election – and to continue to spread lies about his loss.
    He is the only US president who refused to participate in the peaceful transfer of power.

    Facts. Not opinions.

      Never underestimate people’s willingness to vote against their own economic self interests.

      Trump mentally is either part way demented or part way mad.

      The spin man comes again. Kamala was / is a horrible VP. She failed at her tasking as The Border Czar. Many in her staff left as they complained she would not prep for meetings or speeches. She would show up and giggle. Isn’t that cute. But now 84 year old and senile Pelosi says she is the great black hope. Mind you we have already had a twice elected man of color in the White House. Of course anyone that questions her record and ability will be labeled a racist. Doesn’t matter, she is still not ready for Prime Time but you Demos are so desperate to maintain your power. Not sure senile Pelosi’s pick will carry you to the promised land

        “ She failed at her tasking as The Border Czar.”
        Only Congress has the ability to write border legislation. Kamala worked tirelessly with Republicans to craft the border legislation that REPUBLICANS REJECTED!

          Cue up that Lester Holt interview with Ka Mana Harris concerning her lack of presence and interest in the border. Miss word salad herself at some point declares she hasn’t been to Europe either. And you want to put this moron as CIC of the United States?

          Does that mean winning at any price? Be careful how you answer that.

        Except she was not a border czar
        In her immigration role, Harris’ main line of work has focused on convincing companies to invest in Central America and promoting democracy and development there through diplomacy. In March of this year, the White House announced Harris had secured a commitment from the private sector to invest over $5 billion to promote economic opportunities and reduce violence in the region.

        Harris was not asked to be the administration’s “border czar” or to oversee immigration policy and enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border. That has mainly been the responsibility of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and his department, which oversees the country’s main three immigration agencies, including Customs and Border Protection.

      Besides all of what you have listed here,(and should be of greater concern to Americans), Trump is the most disliked/despised president worldwide, ever to be elected in the U.S. ( Democrat or Republican). European allies are certainly paying attention. Past Republican presidents, for the most part, had the respect of other world leaders/countries. If re-elected, Trumps wrecking ball mentality and vindictive unpredictable behaviour, is surely not going to serve Americans well. 🇨🇦

        July 24, 2024 at 11:21 am

        And why per se is Mr. Trump disliked/despised worldwide? Could it be because he doesn’t take shit from other world leaders?

        Who is paying you to post here?

    Oh no!! An even bigger threat to democracy than Donald Trump and/or the evil/sleepy criminal mastermind/octogenarian Joe Biden? I think I’ll take my chances.

    The G0P will lose based on abortion now since with KH on the ticket it just went from being about Biden’s economy, wars, and Biden’s border to being about that. So we don’t get to hear about any other issue but abortion until November. Which is terrible because this distraction protects both parties from having to address other issues like people trying to keep a roof and a job and put food on the table and the terrible state of national debt and national security and endless wars. I don’t understand why the G0P has insisted on hammering on an issue that is guaranteed to destroy any chance for their party to ever be elected again. I have never understood this. If they ever were able to go back to low taxes, reduce the debt, keep government out of our lives, making government work for the people, stop the endless wars, and national security, they’d win by a landslide. But they keep throwing it away with both hands. I’ll never understand it. I thought the younger generations were beginning to grasp this but it seems too late now.

      If you listened to the Vice President today, she indeed has a vision for America – she believes in America. She also rejects the “American carnage” dystopia peddled by Trump.

      The bodily autonomy of women is just one issue that the Vice President intends to restore. And a lot of women agree. Let’s listen to women on this one.

    LaCivita and Wiles built their entire Trump campaign on railing against Biden being old and infirm.

    Now they got tossed a curve ball and they’re sh!tting bricks.

    They thought they clinched this election at the RNC convention and were counting chickens before they hatched.

    Now they’re doing what they always do – bad mouth someone with name-calling and no substance. You know, because that’s how you govern – for the people, in the Free America.
