Some have described Trump's mispronunciation of her name as 'racist and sexist.'

, one point of attack toward his new 2024 opponent is an old ploy: mispronouncing and mocking her name.

"It's one thing to mispronounce someone's name on the first try, right? But to do it repeatedly and deliberately, it feels purposeful. It's certainly done to make a point. It is othering, a way of saying you don't belong here," said Jean Sinzdak, the associate director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutger's University.

Karoline Leavitt, the campaign's national press secretary, went on to criticize Harris's handling of immigration and accused her of lying about Biden's cognitive abilities. "She is weak, dishonest, and dangerously liberal, and that’s why the American people will reject her on November 5th," Leavitt said.

Meanwhile, Harris appears to be flipping the script and leaning into the contrast of her name and identity versus Trump.
