Former President Donald Trump has seen his previous leads over President Joe Biden significantly erode over the past month after he decided to call it quits and anoint his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the Democratic Party nominee.
Trump was comfortably ahead of Biden in nearly every major poll, all swing states, and had been gaining ground with voters from traditionally Democrat-leaning blocs until Harris became the de facto nominee.
The Trump campaign’s focus on the fact that Harris had an integral part of the “Biden-Harris administration,” having been given tasks by the president but largely failing to deliver favorable results, such as her role as “border czar.”
In fact, Trump’s campaign issued a response to the White House’s statement that there is no “daylight” between President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, meaning the two share the same policy goals and objectives.
The Trump campaign directed its social media comment to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, adding that her remark proves that “Kamala owns the border crisis,” among other policies that have made it more difficult for Americans to get ahead while the world has become more unstable.
“Thank you @PressSec for confirming: there is ‘no daylight’ between Kamala and Joe! Kamala owns the border crisis. Kamala owns inflation. Kamala owns the wars, chaos, and crime over the past 4 years,” Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted to X on Monday afternoon, showing a clip of Jean-Pierre.
