ANALYSIS — Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump traded new verbal barbs Thursday as both campaigns headed into Labor Day weekend largely making a case against their opponent.
If the day was a barometer of the race with just two full months of campaigning to go, there were mixed signals for both sides. Harris defended her policy stance changes and vowed to include, if elected, a Republican in her Cabinet. Trump dinged his foe on the economy before announcing what would be a costly health care proposal to “produce babies.”
Perhaps the day’s biggest stumble came from Ohio Sen. JD Vance, the GOP vice presidential nominee, who was booed by some firefighters during a stop in Boston as he called them “haters.”
