Vice President Kamala Harris has released her first digital campaign video, aiming to counter Republican critics and Donald Trump’s attempts to label her as an ultra-liberal.
What Happened: Harris’s campaign video features scenes from her first major rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The video contrasts images of Trump and his running mate JD Vance.
“There are some people who think we should be a country of chaos, of fear, of hate. But us, we choose something different, we choose freedom,” Harris can be heard saying in the video posted on YouTube which also features music from Beyoncé's hit song “Freedom.”
This was first noted on the Financial Times.
Why It Matters: This comes after President Joe Biden dropped out of the race last week, setting the stage for a head-to-head battle between Trump and Harris. The Vice President has been gaining ground in the head-to-head matchups against Trump, especially in swing states.
A recent poll showed a narrow lead for Trump, with a 49%-46% margin among registered voters. This lead was within the survey's margin of error, indicating a potentially tight race.
Trump and the Republicans have initiated early attacks against Harris. At a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, Trump launched a direct attack on Harris, dubbing her “Lyin’ Kamala Harris” and calling her a “radical crazy person.”
