Recent attacks appear to be linked to increased talk about her possibly replacing Biden.
WASHINGTON - Donald Trump's campaign and some of his allies have launched a pre-emptive political strike on Vice-President Kamala Harris, moving swiftly to try to discredit her amid talk among some of her fellow Democrats that she might replace President Joe Biden atop the party's 2024 presidential ticket.
The National Republican Congressional Committee, which oversees House Republican races, called her Biden's"enabler in chief". The Biden campaign pushed back against the escalating Republican criticism without addressing the question of whether the vice-president is waiting in the wings. Corey Lewandowski, a longtime Trump adviser, told Reuters Harris was politically vulnerable given her role in addressing illegal immigration, among other issues that are part of extensive research the party has gathered on her record.A former senior staffer in the Trump White House who is still in contact with the Trump campaign said the newfound emphasis on Harris made sense.
"This shows a maturation of the candidate himself. You can teach an old dog new tricks. He's showing increased discipline and message control," said a senior adviser to the Trump campaign familiar with internal discussions.
