The race to define Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2020 election has begun with the release of dueling ads by both her campaign and former President Donald J. Trump’s team. Harris’s new ad, titled “Fearless,” highlights her time as a prosecutor, emphasizing her track record of putting criminals behind bars. On the other hand, Trump’s ad attacks her for being soft on immigration, blaming her for border crossings and deaths from fentanyl.
Since becoming the likely Democratic nominee, Harris’s campaign has seen a surge in fundraising, indicating strong support. Despite her position as vice president and previous roles as a senator from California, she remains relatively unknown to many voters in battleground states crucial for the election outcome.
Both ads are set to run in key states at a significant cost, with Harris’s campaign planning a $50 million ad blitz leading up to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Trump’s campaign is allocating over $12 million for TV ads in states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
The contrasting ads reflect the different strategies each campaign is employing to shape public perception of Kamala Harris and influence voters’ opinions. With the election approaching, these ads will play a crucial role in defining Harris’s image and potential impact on the country.
As the campaigns intensify and the battle for votes heats up, it is essential for voters to critically analyze and evaluate the messages presented in these ads. Understanding the motives behind each portrayal of Kamala Harris can help voters make informed decisions on Election Day. Stay tuned for more updates on the evolving narrative surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris and the 2020 election.
