Vice President Kamala Harris seems to be ignoring voter demands for substance on policies in final campaign stretch and has fallen back to rhetoric reminiscent of President Joe Biden’s harsh anti-Trump rhetoric. But with polling data showing voters still know little about her plans in the final days of the campaign, her approach — switching from “vibes of joy” and “brat summer” to fear mongering — risks turning off engaged voters near the finish line.
While Republicans have long attacked Harris for ducking tough interviews and refusing to engage with the media on substance, her recent CNN town hall has even Democrats joining the chorus chastising her lack of substance.
