Radical or moderate? Trump paints Democratic ticket as both
By JILL COLVIN, ZEKE MILLER and JONATHAN LEMIRE Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s campaign is struggling to define Sen. Kamala Harris. Joe Biden’s decision to choose Harris as his running mate has further complicated the Trump campaign’s crude efforts to paint Biden as out of step with the country as Trump continues to lag in the polls. Less than 90 days out from Election Day, Trump’s team faces a pivotal choice in how it tries to define the Democratic ticket. Do they attempt to fire up their base and scare off moderates by painting Biden and Harris as radical socialists? Or do they aim to depress enthusiasm among Democrats by arguing Biden and Harris are opportunistic and insufficiently liberal?
