How Lara Trump and the GOP Are Preparing for War with Kamala Harris

After years of careful planning and extensive groundwork to take on President Biden in the upcoming presidential race, the Republican Party must now redirect its formidable campaign apparatus toward a new adversary.

As the fall season approaches, the NY Post reports that Lara Trump, who serves as the Republican National Committee co-chair and is the daughter-in-law of the party’s presidential nominee, is expressing confidence in her readiness to confront Vice President Kamala Harris — a challenge she anticipated well in advance.

“This has never happened before really in US history,” Lara Trump shared with The NY Post. “But of course we’re not entirely surprised. For years we’ve had this in the back of our mind as a possibility. Clearly, the other side has as well.”

Despite the internal turbulence and reshuffling within the Democratic Party this summer, Trump and her campaign team maintain that they have a well-defined plan and are prepared to counter Harris, who now holds the title of the official Democratic nominee.

“I think the reality is and what we have to continue to focus on and drive home to the voters is that this may be a different candidate, but these are the exact same policies,” she explained to the Post. “This is the same person who sat alongside Joe Biden and made every policy decision with him. He was taking this country in the wrong direction, regardless of the fact she wants to run away from those facts.”

While Harris has shown strong initial polling numbers, Trump points out that this was something they anticipated.

“Joe Biden was a very low-energy candidate, and you definitely see a honeymoon period with new faces in any campaign. Plus, the media certainly is doing all they can to galvanize around Kamala and her wealthy supporters,” Trump mentioned in her interview with The Post.

“But there’s a ticking clock to that. They can get all the rich celebrities they want to show up for her, but that clock is going to go off. I would say it goes off the minute she steps onto a debate stage with Donald J. Trump.”

The crucial path to victory for both candidates lies in key battleground states like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Michigan. However, Lara Trump believes the GOP holds a significant advantage in these areas.

“We want to bring people back to basics,” she emphasized, according to the Post report. “This election is about people’s lives. Their income. It’s about kitchen table issues. There’s plenty of other things to talk about with her stance on fracking or social issues, and we’ll get to that, but we really just want this election to be about a comparison between two presidencies. Two administrations. Under which one were you and your family better off? If we can get people to think about that, we win.”

Trump asserts that this is an area where the Democratic Party struggles to compete effectively.

“None of us know what their real policies are to improve these kitchen table issues,” she noted. “Zero. None. The only thing we know is they say they won’t tax tips. And even that they had to rip off from us. But voters are smarter than ever now. I have faith they can see the truth.”

According to FiveThirtyEight’s national polling average, Harris holds a general favorability rating of 47.2%, compared to Trump’s 43.7%.

A recent poll focusing on 10 key swing states — Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — indicates that the former president is slightly ahead in five of these states, while the vice president leads in four. Georgia remains a deadlock.
