With Vice President Kamala Harris leading the charge, Democrats have rallied en masse around labeling former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, R-Ohio, as "weird" — a move that's appeared to have sent the Republican candidate and his allies scrambling for an adroit counter.
Democrats have brandished the label in interviews and online, notes the Associated Press, highlighting Vance's comments on abortion and attacks on political leaders who don't have children. They've also used the "weird" attack to reframe concerns around right-wing policy ideas that threaten civil rights and other basic freedoms, such as book bans and anti-LGBTQ legislation.
