Vice President Kamala Harris and her Democratic allies are increasingly branding Donald Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, as “weird.” Democrats are applying the label with gusto in interviews and online. They have spotlighted Vance’s comments on abortion and his previous suggestion that political leaders who didn’t have biological children “don’t really have a direct stake” in the country. The “weird” message appears to have given Democrats a narrative advantage that it rarely had when President Joe Biden was still running for reelection. Trump’s campaign has spent days trying to flip the script by highlighting things about Democrats it says are weird.
