When Joe Biden endorsed Kamala Harris to become the Democratic nominee, Donald Trump confidently claimed she’d be even easier to defeat in November than Biden would have been.
In reality, the vice president’s arrival in the race on a tidal wave of support from her colleagues and party donors creates a major headache for the Republican’s campaign, which, until Sunday, had been enjoying mutinous disarray among its Democratic opponents.
Now, with Harris already claiming to have enough support to become her party’s nominee, reports suggest the Trump campaign fears her ability to unleash her party in the race. “I don’t think Joe Biden has a ton of advantages,” senior Trump campaign adviser Susie Wiles told Atlantic journalist Tim Alberta in March, Alberta reported Sunday. “But I do think Democrats do.”
