The vice president has already made it known she doesn’t approve of the former president and his allies. But her latest comments are stunning.
And what Kamala Harris just said about J.D. Vance has sent the Trump campaign into a fit of rage.
In a recently released video, Vice President Kamala Harris sharply criticized former President Trump’s selection of Senator JD Vance, R-Ohio, as his vice-presidential running mate.
Harris accused Trump of choosing Vance to be a “rubber stamp” for his “extreme agenda.”
This announcement comes just ahead of Vance’s scheduled acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Wednesday. Trump, now officially the Republican nominee for president, revealed his decision to select Vance on Monday.
“Trump looked for someone he knew would be a rubber stamp for his extreme agenda,” Harris asserted in the video.
“Make no mistake: JD Vance will be loyal only to Trump, not to our country,” she added.
Following Vance’s nomination, Harris and Vance had a brief and respectful phone conversation, according to Fox News’ Alexis McAdams. Harris also left a congratulatory voicemail for Vance.
In her video, Harris criticized Vance for his earlier statements during an ABC News interview, where he mentioned that he would not have certified the 2020 election results had he been vice president at the time.
“Unlike Mike Pence, Vance said he would have carried out Trump’s plan to overturn the 2020 election,” Harris remarked.
Harris also highlighted Vance’s position on abortion, referencing his support for a national abortion ban at 15 weeks with exceptions for protecting the life of the mother during his 2022 Senate campaign.
She pointed out Vance’s recent vote against a Democrat-led bill aimed at protecting access to in vitro fertilization (IVF), which was ultimately blocked by Republicans in the Senate.
“He supports a national abortion ban and voted against protecting IVF,” Harris stated.
Additionally, Harris mentioned Project 2025, a controversial initiative by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.
The project, supported by several conservatives including former Trump administration officials, outlines right-wing policy recommendations for a potential second Trump term.
Trump has attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, dismissing components of it as “absolutely ridiculous and abysmal” and claiming to know nothing about it.
“And if elected, [Vance] will help implement the extreme Project 2025 plan for a second Trump term, which would target critical programs like Head Start and Medicare,” Harris warned. “But we are not going to let that happen.”
