Donald Trump’s recent comments questioning Kamala Harris’s racial identity at the NABJ conference have sparked bipartisan criticism from both Republicans and Democrats. Former Republican governor Larry Hogan called the attack unacceptable, while Senator Lisa Murkowski suggested that such issues should not be brought up in campaigns.
On the Democratic side, Senator Raphael Warnock accused Trump of dividing and spreading hatred, while Illinois Governor JB Pritzker described the comments as displaying racism. Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a top VP contender, labeled Trump’s words as overtly racist and the behavior of a desperate and scared old man.
In response to Trump’s comments, Kamala Harris remained unfazed, labeling the behavior as divisiveness and disrespect. She emphasized that the American people deserve better. Her husband, Douglas Emhoff, also chimed in, stating the need to focus on defending the country against destructive forces.
As the attacks from Trump escalate, Harris is expected to announce her running mate soon. Speculation surrounds Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Arizona Senator Mark Kelly as potential top picks.
In other US political news, Harris is scheduled to deliver a eulogy for late representative Sheila Jackson Lee, Nancy Pelosi expressed concerns about Trump’s mental health in her new book, and the Supreme Court is set to address key education issues in its upcoming term.
