In their first major speeches since Joe Biden dropped out of the presidential race, US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have launched attacks against each other. Trump referred to Harris as a “radical left lunatic,” while Harris criticized Trump for his convictions and scandals, accusing him of offering voters “chaos, fear, and hate.”
The tone of these early campaign speeches suggests that the upcoming presidential election will be contentious, with both candidates seeking to paint the other as unfit for office. This was discussed on a recent broadcast of the program hosted by Sami Zeidan, with political analyst Eric Ham, Director of the Centre on US Politics Thomas Gift, and Associate Professor Jennifer Victor weighing in on the potential strategies and dynamics of the campaign.
Eric Ham, co-author of The GOP Civil War: Inside the Battle for the Soul of the Republican Party, provided insights into the Republican perspective on the upcoming election, while Thomas Gift, whose research focuses on comparative politics and the political economy, offered analysis on the broader implications of the campaign. Jennifer Victor, an expert in political science, shared her views on the potential impact of the candidates’ tactics on voter behavior and the overall political climate.
As the campaign season heats up, with both candidates sharpening their attacks and defining their platforms, the coming months promise to be filled with intense political action and heated exchanges. Voters will need to carefully consider the arguments put forth by each candidate as they prepare to make their decision in the upcoming election.
