Washington Examiner’s Restoring America Editor Kaylee McGhee White criticized Harris campaign surrogates for turning to insults as their final strategy.
With Election Day on Tuesday, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are issuing their final pleas to voters. Many of the celebrities stumping for Harris across the country have made critical mistakes in personally attacking the other side. White appeared on Fox News’s Fox News at Night on Sunday to condemn the tactic.
“This is a horrible closing message from the Democratic Party. It seems pretty much unanimous across the board amongst all campaign surrogates for Kamala Harris. They just cannot stop insulting the opposing side,” White said.
President Joe Biden appeared in a virtual rally on Harris’s behalf, during which he said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” referring to Trump supporters. Biden explained on X that he had intended to refer “to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage.”
Then, the Harris campaign deployed Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban at its rallies and in television interviews. Cuban implied that Trump purposefully doesn’t surround himself with women who challenge him, which he has since had to apologize for.
Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) told anyone who votes for the Trump-Vance ticket that “you’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically, you’re anti-American.” White took issue with Hochul’s latest message, while New York has a ballot initiative to include gender identity in its constitutional protections.

“I find it insulting as a young woman to suggest I’m anti-woman if I don’t support the Democratic Party,” White said. “Don’t tell me that you support women when you could not defend our basic biological reality.”
Meanwhile, these insults haven’t deterred Trump supporters. A Real Clear Politics poll average from Monday morning showed Trump has a 0.1-point lead nationwide.
