Lara Trump stresses need to inform voters of ‘completely phony’ Harris ticket – Washington Examiner

Republican National Committee Co-Chairwoman Lara Trump underscored the need for voters to know who Vice President Kamala Harris really is, arguing this is the RNC’s job for the next three months.

Trump argued Harris said “absolutely nothing” during her first appearance at the Democratic National Convention on Monday. She then said voters are realizing that the Harris-Walz presidential ticket is “very phony” and “very inauthentic” compared to former President Donald Trump, citing how he speaks directly to voters, even after surviving an assassination attempt.

“This is a man who sometimes is transparent, some might say to a fault, but you never have to wonder who Donald Trump is, where he stands on anything, or what he is thinking because he will tell you,” Lara Trump said on Fox News’s Hannity. “On the other side of things, you have a completely phony party and completely phony candidates in Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.”

Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law deeming the Democratic ticket “phony” could be a new strategy for the Trump campaign, as the former president’s running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), called the Harris-Walz campaign “fake” during a stop in Michigan last week. 

Lara Trump also argued the Democratic Party lied for months about President Joe Biden’s mental fitness to continue serving as president and that “we all see what was going on there.” Biden bowed out of his reelection bid last month, giving his endorsement to Harris.

The RNC co-chairwoman then rebuked the idea that Harris and Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) would be any different from the Biden-Harris administration, as Harris has been vice president since 2021. She warned that a Harris-Walz administration would be the equivalent to “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris on steroids.”

“It is frightening, but the fact that we are there and we just heard for, I guess it was two minutes, from Kamala with absolutely no substance, nothing on policy,” she said. “The only policy she has, of course, she ripped off from Donald Trump, or straight out of a communist playbook, is terrifying and crazy. But we’re going to make sure the American people know exactly who this woman is come Nov. 5.”

Polling data released Sunday stated that 83% of respondents believe Harris’s policies will be entirely or mostly the same as Biden’s. Last week, Lara Trump argued the spark Harris has received in the 2024 race will “wear off” before the next presidential debate, which is set for Sept. 10.
