Vice President Kamala Harris Takes on Trump in Second Presidential Debate

In a surprising turn of events at Tuesday night’s second presidential debate, Vice President Kamala Harris took a page out of Donald Trump’s playbook and engaged in a heated exchange with the former president. Known for his name-calling and spreading of misinformation, Trump has set a precedent for engaging in aggressive and often inflammatory rhetoric.

During the debate, Harris didn’t hold back, accusing Trump of being a liar and even going as far as to suggest that people leave his campaign rallies out of “exhaustion and boredom.” She also didn’t hesitate to call him a “disgrace” according to military leaders. This shift in strategy marks a departure from the usual Democratic approach of taking the high road, as famously advocated by Michelle Obama.

This move by Harris is just one example of the Democratic Party’s new tactic of meeting Republicans on their level. From Barack Obama’s mocking of Trump at the Democratic National Convention to Michelle Obama’s direct criticism of his history of racism, Democrats are no longer shying away from confrontation.

In addition to their verbal jabs, the Harris-Walz campaign has also taken to social media to throw shade at their opponents. Their sarcastic “birthday message” to JD Vance serves as a prime example of their new aggressive approach.

As the November election approaches, it remains to be seen whether this shift in strategy will help Democrats secure the White House once again. By fighting fire with fire, they are hoping to keep the political upper hand and emerge victorious in the upcoming election.
