Kamala Harris is scrambling to get her Presidential campaign up and running.
But Harris found out something bad.
And Donald Trump has one secret weapon that will doom Kamala Harris.
Trump holds massive edge in TV ad war
For much of the campaign, Joe Biden ran up a huge lead on fundraising.
Biden spent $138 million on TV ads only to see his campaign end because he had no path to victory thanks to his disastrous debate performance.
But now the tables have turned.
Following the conviction in the rigged Manhattan show trial and the assassination attempt, Trump’s campaign is raising record money.
Now that Biden is out of the race and Kamala Harris is in, Trump and his allies are outspending Democrats on TV ads by a massive margin.
“Trump and his allies are outspending Kamala Harris’ team 25-to-1 on TV advertising this summer,” the Associated Press’ Steve Peoples wrote on social media.
“The stunning disparity reflects reservations that will almost certainly change in the coming days. But for now, the numbers highlight a dangerous imbalance for Democrats at the very moment that millions of voters are re-shaping their opinions of the vice president, who has spent much of the last four years in Biden’s shadow,” Peoples added.
Harris supporters are worried because, while Harris is unpopular, she’s not well defined, which means the early negative ads can cement the perception of Harris as unacceptable.
“Public opinion is like cement. It’s soft at first and then it hardens,” liberal anti-Trump activist Sarah Longwell told the Associated Press.
“The next three weeks are definitive. She needs to define herself before Trump defines her,” Longwell added.
The focus of the attacks on Harris
Trump allies ads attacking Harris focus on her radical Left record.
A pro-Trump Super PAC ad hammers Harris for lying to the American people about Joe Biden’s mental decline.
Kamala was in on it. She covered up Joe’s obvious mental decline. Kamala knew Joe couldn’t do the job, so she did it. Look what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead. pic.twitter.com/H3Oyew0ug9

Even more devastating was an ad from Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dave McCormick’s campaign, which ran through the litany of loony Left positions Harris took when she ran for President in 2020.
Harris wanted to decriminalize illegal immigration, ban fracking, give terrorists and murderers the right to vote, restrict the ability to eat red meat, impose the Green New Deal and ban private health insurance.

If the Trump campaign and its allies can hammer home in the minds of voters that Harris is a dangerous radical, it will keep her approval numbers low and maintain Trump’s lead in the polls.
