Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich criticized Donald Trump's attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting that such a strategy mirrors Trump's unsuccessful 2020 campaign approach and risks another defeat. Kasich praised Harris for addressing economic issues, a critical concern for many Americans, but noted that Democrats could struggle to defend their economic record given their tenure in the White House. Trump's recent rally in Asheville highlighted his continued focus on personal attacks against Harris and critiques of the Biden administration's economic and immigration policies, despite advisers urging a policy-focused campaign. Harris has faced significant political challenges due to her role in addressing immigration issues, particularly focusing on long-term solutions for the Northern Triangle, which have had mixed results and left her vulnerable to Republican criticism. The nuanced nature of her immigration efforts contrasts with the simplified narratives often presented by her critics.
