Republican leaders are advising party members to avoid using racist and sexist attacks against Vice President Kamala Harris. With less than four months before Election Day, the focus should remain on policy issues rather than personal attacks.
At a closed-door meeting, Rep. Richard Hudson, R-N.C., emphasized the importance of critiquing Harris’s role in the Biden administration. “This election will be about policies and not personalities,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson.
With Harris potentially becoming the first woman, Black woman, and person of South Asian descent to win the White House, Republicans are urged to tread carefully. Trump and his allies have been reminded to concentrate on policy differences rather than personal criticisms.
