In a closed door briefing for MPs, Labor’s national secretary outlined how the party would avoid the pitfalls of the Democrats’ celebrity-heavy campaign.
Labor’s national secretary has vowed the party will not repeat the mistakes of Kamala Harris’ US election campaign and will instead focus on the economy in his first closed-door briefing to MPs since the failed Indigenous Voice referendum.
“You have to have a policy offering that is about the future, and we think that in the US, for example, Kamala Harris just campaigned against Trump – ‘Vote for me as I’m not him’ – and didn’t put forward enough of an alternative plan for the next four years,” one source recalled Erickson saying. “That’s not a mistake we will make.”
Harris’ campaign made extensive use of celebrity endorsements, including from rappers Cardi B and Eminem.US voters approved of Trump’s economic record in his first term, Erickson said, “particularly on the pre-Covid economy, and that is not the case when people think back to the Morrison government or Dutton’s record as a minister”.
