Lara Trump Says Kamala Harris Will Struggle in Debate

In a recent statement, RNC co-chairwoman Lara Trump expressed skepticism about the sustainability of the excitement surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. With President Joe Biden having exited the race following a lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump, Harris has stepped in as the Democratic nominee. Trump characterized the current media portrayal of Harris as misleading, suggesting that the narrative of her being a political powerhouse is a stark contrast to earlier sentiments questioning her viability as a candidate. Lara Trump emphasized that the upcoming debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris will be a critical moment to assess Harris's capabilities. She dismissed the current enthusiasm as “smoke and mirrors,” urging voters to remain cautious about the media's portrayal of political figures. Her comments reflect a broader Republican strategy to challenge Harris's perceived strengths as the campaign progresses. In addition to her critique of Harris, Trump highlighted the importance of voter participation among Republicans. She noted that the RNC has been actively promoting early voting, recognizing concerns surrounding mail-in ballots and the need for a robust turnout. Trump reiterated that all voting methods, including early and Election Day voting, are valid and encouraged by Donald Trump himself. Concluding her remarks, Lara Trump warned that waiting until Election Day could jeopardize Republican chances, urging supporters to take proactive steps to ensure their votes are counted well in advance of the election.
