Vice President Kamala Harris released a new web ad featuring former President Donald Trump repeating Harris’ framing of the 2024 presidential race as “the prosecutor versus the convicted felon,” using only Trump’s own words to make her point.
In May, Trump became the first former president to be convicted of felony crimes. The jury found him guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels to illegally influence the 2016 election. His sentencing was set for July 11 but has now been delayed in the wake of a Supreme Court decision granting him sweeping immunity protections.
In Harris’ first event as a presidential candidate this week, she made the point that as San Francisco District Attorney and then California’s Attorney General, she prosecuted predators and fraudsters like Trump. The presidential race, as she framed it, was “the prosecutor versus the convicted felon.”
So when Donald Trump repeated that line verbatim at one of his rallies, Harris’ team simply clipped it and created an incredibly effective and succinct ad.
