Former President Donald Trump’s son Eric echoed Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy that the Democratic Party is guilty of “gaslighting” voters about Vice President Kamala Harris.
With less than three weeks until Election Day, Harris is hurriedly campaigning for voters’ support on her brief campaign. She announced her candidacy in July after President Joe Biden announced he would not be running for reelection but struggled to distinguish herself from her former running mate.
Portnoy posted a video Sunday on X that included a compilation of Harris speaking on television. He pointed out that her campaign slogan, “It’s time to turn the page,” seems to clash with her position as sitting vice president for the last three years.
“Dave Portnoy was 100% right. That’s all she does, ‘Let’s turn the page, let’s turn the page.’ Well Kamala, Democrats have occupied the White House 12 out of the last 16 years, what and what page are you turning?” Trump said on Hannity on Tuesday. “What proposal, what policy have you put in place? What quantitative measure have you put in place in the last four years that’s done a single thing to further this country? And the answer is it’s absolutely none.”
Trump referenced an opinion editorial by Kathleen Parker of the Washington Post editorial board that called on Harris to resign from her position in order to give Biden a better chance at reelection. Similar opinion editorials followed.
“He’s absolutely right in terms of the gaslighting. You literally see that the greatest rebranding of any person in the history of the world with the media and Kamala over the last nine weeks,” Trump said.

At the time of the Washington Post editorial, only 37% of those surveyed by FiveThirtyEight said they approved of Harris, an especially low approval rate for a vice president. Even at the end of then-Vice President Mike Pence’s term, his approval rating was only a 7-point drop from its beginning at 41%, according to a Gallup poll.
Now, Harris is tied with Trump across swing states.
