Kamala Harris' presidential campaign isn't explicitly focusing on Donald Trump's repeated election denial claims, as it's already a constant presence in the news cycle due to his own actions. This allows her to focus on other key issues like immigration and the economy.
But even if the Democrats’ presidential campaign had focused on something else entirely, Trump would have inserted it into the news cycle himself.Just hours earlier, on the other side of Lake Michigan, Trump reprised his favourite lie about the 2020 election being stolen, essentially performing the political equivalent of Harris advertising how many undocumented immigrants had crossed the US-Mexico border since January 2021.
Polls show Harris with a small and stable lead over Trump in the popular vote, with all seven major swing states, including Wisconsin and Michigan, up for grabs between the two candidates with less than 40 days before election day. Every time Trump denies the results of the election, he reminds voters of one of his least popular positions.
“We did great in 2016 and a lot of people don't know that we did much better in 2020. We won. We won. We did win. It was a rigged election.”Strangely, it was Vance who started the return of election denial to the news cycle. During Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, Vance refused to say whether Trump lost the 2020 election when directly asked by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the Democratic vice presidential candidate.
Right now, between the Harris campaign and Future Forward ― their allied super PAC ― Democrats appear to be running just one television ad focused on the idea Trump is a threat to democracy, one focused on Vance’s comments on Tuesday night, while running multiple ads on topics like health care, battling inflation, Trump’s family separation on the border, and Harris’ own commitment to border security.
“It was a terrible thing that happened last time. If that didn’t happen we’d have a much different country today,” Trump said in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, describing changes to voting procedures precipitated by the pandemic and then insinuating something worse.
