Bloomberg: Trump's headquarters was not ready to fight against Harris

The attacks of the US presidential candidate from the Republican Party Donald Trump on Vice President Kamala Harris, who started campaigning after President Joe Biden's decision to withdraw from the race, risk alienating voters whom he should have attracted - suburban women, young people, African Americans and Latinos, Bloomberg reports.

Harsh statements about Harris demonstrate how her appearance as a likely candidate from the Democratic Party upset the presidential race of 2024: Trump's campaign headquarters had been preparing tactics against Biden for months in order to present him as a weak opponent, but the latter's decision to withdraw from the race caught the ex-president's campaign by surprise, forcing him to reconsider the line of attack, the agency points out.

Republicans from the US House of Representatives, including Speaker Mike Johnson, at the same time warned party members against attacks on race or gender because of political risks.

"This election is about politics, not personalities," Johnson said.

According to the head of the campaign headquarters of Vice President Jennifer O'Malley Dillon, 7% of voters have not yet decided who they are ready to support, and they could be persuaded to vote for Harris.

"There are a lot of black people, Hispanics and people under 30 among these voters," she said.

78-year-old Trump criticized 59-year-old Harris for aggravating the migration crisis on the border with Mexico, called her a "weak prosecutor," "angry and stupid," and because of her laughter he nicknamed her "Kamala the giggler." His supporters called Harris "ambassador DEI" (this abbreviation stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, that is, "diversity, equality and inclusiveness").

According to the results of a Reuters and Ipsos poll published on July 23, Harris was ahead of Trump by 2%: 44% were ready to vote for her, and for Trump — 42%. However, according to the results of the latest New York Times/Siena College poll, the former president is now ahead of Harris by 2% among registered voters (48% vs. 46%) and by 1% among all voters (48% vs. 47%), RBC reminds.
