Former President Donald Trump’s campaign has launched a new advertisement aimed at Vice President Kamala Harris, spotlighting her recent remarks during an appearance on “The View.”
In the 30-second spot, Harris, age 59, responded to a question from co-host Sunny Hostin about what she would have approached differently compared to President Biden over the past three and a half years with an astonishing reply: “There is not a thing that comes to mind.” This comment has sparked widespread criticism, suggesting a concerning lack of direction or accountability amid various national challenges.
The ad’s narrator underscores the dire state of the nation by stating, “A flood of illegal aliens, rising prices, international chaos—and Kamala wouldn’t change a thing.” This line reflects a growing sentiment among voters that the Biden-Harris administration has not effectively tackled urgent issues.
After showing a clip from Harris’s contentious appearance, the ad reinforces the idea that nothing will improve under her leadership: “Nothing will change with Kamala.” The narrator further warns of a future that entails “more weakness, more war, more welfare for illegals, and higher taxes.” It firmly asserts that only Trump has successfully cut taxes for the middle class, positioning him as the candidate committed to restoring economic stability for American families.
This advertisement is particularly significant as it is airing in key battleground states, where polling indicates very close races between Trump and Harris. Ad-tracking firm Medium Buying reports that 79% of presidential ad spending has been concentrated in seven pivotal states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—since Harris was added to the Democratic ticket.
In response to the backlash, Harris attempted to clarify her earlier comments during an interview with Fox News, stating, “Let me be very clear, my presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency.” She claims that her administration would bring new perspectives and innovative ideas, but many voters remain doubtful given her previous statements.
As Election Day draws nearer, Trump’s campaign is focused on contrasting his record with the current administration’s perceived failures, rallying voters who seek change and accountability in leadership.
