Trump-aligned Pacs will unleash wave of attacks, including TV ads, on record as vice-president and past in California

Donald Trump is scrambling to pivot his campaign against Kamala Harris, with attack ads hitting her current record in office and her past in California, according to two sources familiar with the matter, after Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 race on Sunday.

The Trump campaign is viewing Harris as the presumptive Democratic nominee, especially after Biden gave his endorsement, and started preparing opposition research dossiers against her in recent weeks. But as much as Biden’s withdrawal has left Democrats floundering ahead of its nominating convention next month, it has in many ways also flummoxed the Trump campaign.

Trump-aligned political action committees such as MAGA Inc will unleash a wave of attacks against Harris, including a $5m television ad in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona, casting her as the puppet master in the Biden administration.

casting her as the puppet master in the Biden administration

Wait hold on, a couple days ago I was being told how Biden personally allowed the "illegals" to come in and steal all of our jobs. Weird.

Yeah he went from being a senile old grandpa who could barely string a sentence together to the mastermind behind a presidential assasination and back again within the space of a week lol.

Good old #8 on Umberto Eco's definition of fascism.

'Fascist societies rhetorically cast their enemies as "at the same time too strong and too weak"'
