Donald Trump’s campaign and some of his allies have launched a pre-emptive political strike on vice president Kamala Harris, moving swiftly to try to discredit her amid talk among some of her fellow Democrats that she might replace president Joe Biden atop the party’s presidential ticket.
On social media and in a flurry of statements over the past 48 hours, Mr Trump’s campaign and his Republican allies appear to be laying the groundwork for an all-out assault on Ms Harris should the 81-year-old Mr Biden decide to end his re-election bid following his feeble debate performance last week.
