Republican leaders are cautioning party members against resorting to overtly racist and sexist attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris as they navigate the upcoming election. With less than four months until Election Day, the GOP is adjusting its strategy to focus on criticizing Harris for her role in the Biden-Harris administration's policies.
House Speaker Mike Johnson emphasized that the election should center on policies rather than personalities, stressing that any critique of Harris should be based on her actions and not her ethnicity or gender. The warnings come in light of the potential risks for Republicans in running against Harris, who could make history as the first woman, first Black woman, and first person of South Asian descent to win the White House.
