Try as they might, Republicans haven’t been able to come up with a line of attack that sticks to Vice President Kamala Harris. Calling her a “DEI candidate” who “happened to turn Black” hasn’t worked. Nor has labeling her a “failed border czar.” And Donald Trump’s latest nickname — “Kamabla”— is as forgettable as it is nonsensical.
So what’s next? Apparently, what’s old is new again, but this time, Democrats might want to pay attention.
