As the election approaches, a super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris has reportedly urged her campaign to tread carefully when criticizing former President Donald Trump, the Republican candidate.
On Sunday, The New York Times reported that super PAC Future Forward sent an email to the Democratic Party, cautioning that attacking Trump’s character and labeling him a fascist could be a misstep ahead of the election.
Future Forward stated, “Attacking Trump as a fascist is not that persuasive,” adding, “Criticizing Trump for being tired is also failing to resonate with voters.”
Instead, Future Forward suggested that the Harris campaign should focus on differentiating itself from Trump by emphasizing economic plans and restoration of abortion rights.
The New York Times noted that Future Forward’s warning reflects internal divisions within the Democratic Party regarding strategies for criticizing Trump.
General John F. Kelly, who served as White House Chief of Staff during the Trump administration, criticized Trump as a fascist, which the Harris campaign has quickly cited.
While the Harris campaign is investing over $10 million in 30- —to 60-second ads, Future Forward claims that, according to the New York Times, TrumtTrump’sgcism of Trump’Trump’sior has proven less effective in swaying voter opinion.
