WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump's campaign released a scathing attack on Kamala Harris with their new election ad mocking the Vice President over her recent ‘The View’ interview.

The Democratic presidential candidate was asked if she would've done anything differently from President Joe Biden during the last 3.5 years in office, and Harris responded with “There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of — of the decisions that have had impact.”

“A flood of illegals, skyrocketing prices, global chaos, and Kamala wouldn’t change a thing,” a narrator says in the ad as the text appears in the video.

The clip from ABC’s daytime talk show appears and the narrator adds, “Nothing will change with Kamala. More weakness, more war, more welfare for illegals and even more taxes. Only President Trump cut middle class taxes, and only President Trump will do it again,” reported The New York Post

However, Harris backtracked from her previous comment during a recent Fox News ‘Special Report’ interview. 

“Let me be very clear, my presidency will not be a continuation of Joe Biden’s presidency,” she said on Wednesday, October 16, before adding, “[L]ike every new president that comes into office, I will bring my life experiences, my professional experiences, and fresh and new ideas.”



 

Bret Baier on interviewing Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris’ first-ever sit-down with the network, turned out to be anything but easy, and host Bret Baier made sure it wasn't.

According to Baier, Harris' team was desperately trying to get him to wrap things up. "I'm talking like four people waving their hands like it's got to stop," revealed the journalist to his panel while recounting the conclusion of their chat.

"I had to dismount there at the end," shrugged Baier, acknowledging the pressure he felt to cut things short. He added, "There are so many things and maybe she should do more of these." 

According to Medium Buying, an add-tracking organization, Donald Trump's campaign commercial is airing in battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Meanwhile, AdImpact shared that 79% of all presidential ad spending has gone to these states since Harris joined the presidential race in July.

  

Some 88% of future ad reservations, through Election Day, are also in those key states, where both candidates are going to have a close contest.
