Trump leans into ‘Comrade Kamala’ label as Harris pivots left

Vice President Kamala Harris is making an appeal to her progressive base with a series of campaign moves that are equally tantalizing to her GOP rival, former President Donald Trump.

Trump has sought to define Harris as a “California radical” by pointing to her embrace of far-left policies during her 2020 run for president. She has, to some extent, attempted to insulate herself from that line of attack since taking over the Democratic ticket, disavowing her previous support for a ban on fracking and single-payer healthcare. But Harris has simultaneously given Trump fodder that he is crystalizing with a new nickname: “Comrade Kamala.”
