Harris’s Mission: Disqualify Trump While Reaching Out to His Supporters

In her final pitch to voters, Kamala Harris faced a stark political reality: Donald Trump is not only a fringe figure but the central figure in American politics. In her last speech condemning Trump as unfit for office, Harris wove her message with the economic worries that ring so loudly in the ears of many voters.

Since nearly a decade ago, the Democrats have been trying to brand Trump as an anti-pluralist menace to democratic norms. Hillary Clinton labeled him, in 2016, as a perpetrator of “an unprecedented attack,” while President Joe Biden said he damaged “the soul of the nation.”.

On the grounds of Trump’s incendiary speech which precipitated the Capitol riots, Harris tried to reunify the nation against him. She called him a “petty tyrant” who wants to regain “unchecked power.” Yet it signified a strategic turn: existential threats balanced against mundane economic facts.

“I vow to continue listening to you, and I vow to continue keeping my word, even when you don’t vote for me,” Harris declared, casting Trump’s divisiveness into stark relief against her attention to doing stuff. “On Day 1, if elected, Donald Trump will walk into that office with an enemies list. I will come in with a to-do list.”

Mostly by her own concession in admitting Trump has dug himself deep inside the GOP, much of the thrust of her whole campaign strategy is exposed. He continues very popular with the electorate at large, as demonstrably evidenced by the popular applause to his Madison Square Garden rally.

In the last days of the campaign, Harris now aims to break the attachment between Trump and his electorate; far from the “extreme MAGA” tagline which Biden waved during the campaign. She made efforts to reach out to former Trump voters and even collaborated with some known critics like former Representative Liz Cheney, citing voter privacy in their decision.

Apparently, some in the Democratic camp, amongst whom is Biden, cannot really cope with this new game. Before Kamala Harris could speak, Biden said certain things that, in light of the earlier campaign promises of his own party, seemed derogating towards supporters of Trump, hence creating a controversy which required some clarification. Kamala Harris has thus been pretty cautious so far in speaking derogatorily about the Trump base and indeed insisted that, “I would never say that about the American people.”

She portrays Trump as an out-of-touch, old-money politician far removed from the struggle of the average citizen, and her policy proposals seek to focus on concrete issues: eldercare and affordable child care and skyrocketing grocery bills, even the most contentious of topics like abortion-an exercise in personal freedom and health care.

If Kamala Harrisis to win, she must galvanize her Democratic base but also reach independent and Republican voters whose main concern will be economic. A newly released survey finds that just 7% of voters say democracy is their top concern this election cycle.

Contrary to this, the previous president dug in his heels, outrightly rejecting calls for unity. Trump is aggressive and continues to demonize perceived enemies within the Democratic Party and rallies his core supporters with inflammatory rhetoric. Recently, the New York rally showed the loyalty of his supporters, powerful influencers, and even relatives.

Although Kamala Harris is keen on healing divisions, she cannot but notice what Trump has had for his party: Trump’s unfounded election fraud claims continue to haunt his die-hard followers’ communal conscience with the hope that he might be able to return to his office if they prevail.

With the Election Day drawing near, Trump had amplified his accusations against the Democrats, saying that they will attempt to “cheat” in the upcoming election. “It’s the only way they’re going to win,” he said at a rally, calling out his supporters to be careful.

 

Conclusion

 

Kamala Harris approach is an attempt to galvanize a divided nation to come together as a political majority straight at the economic agenda of the voters. The long haul requires an empathetic tone coupled with a practical touch as she attempts to coalesce into a block big enough to break the weight of Trump.
