  • August 1, 2024: Trump attacks Harris’s racial identity
    Aug 1 2024
    If former President Donald Trump wanted to steal back the spotlight after a week of the attention being on VP Kamala Harris, he did that. But it seems likely to backfire in a major way. Yesterday, Trump used an appearance at the NABJ conference to launch a new battery of attacks aimed at Harris’ racial identity — and specifically at the fact that she is both Black and Indian-American. Playbook co-authors Rachael Bade and Eugene Daniels discuss that — and break a bit of news about Harris’ VP search.

  • July 30, 2024: Republicans sharpen their Harris attack strategy
    Jul 30 2024
    Democrats have been on cloud nine for the past week since President Joe Biden announced his decision not to run for re-election. However, Republicans have shifted their focus and sharpened their strategy for attacking Harris. The Trump campaign is going live with its first TV ad attacking Harris in swing states today. They will blame the crisis at the US-Mexico border on Harris, the Biden administration's so-called "border czar." Will it be enough to dampen the electric momentum surrounding the vice president? Playbook co-author Rachael Bade looks into it. In addition, a bipartisan expansion of the child tax credit is up for a vote today, and it is expected to be defeated by Republicans. How will this play with Republicans' family value-centric identity?
