The Republican presidential candidate’s attacks on the vice president are renewing questions about gender in the 2024 campaign
Republican presidential candidate and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley speaks at the Iowa Faith & Freedom Coalition's fall banquet, Saturday, Sept. 16, 2023, in Des Moines, Iowa.
Vice President Kamala Harris laughs as she speaks at Hampton University on Thursday, Sept. 14, 2023, in Hampton, Va. “In some ways it’s fascinating and almost amusing, like, ‘Oh, wow, we’ve basically never been represented on the national stage, and now we could get to the point in the near future where it’s like desi vs. desi,’” he said, using a term that refers to people from the Indian subcontinent.
“They feel the need to attack because they’re scared that we will win based on the merit of the work that Joe Biden and I, and our administration, has done,” Harris said on CBS News’s “Face the Nation.” “Seventy-five percent of the voters in this country don’t want a rematch between Trump and Biden, and what she’s trying to do is insinuate herself into a contest with Kamala Harris,” Kochel said. “It’s good politics.”
Jennifer Lawless, a political science professor at the University of Virginia who has studied women in politics, said that as a woman of color Haley may be able to lob stronger critiques of Harris without alienating independent female voters who would be put off by a White male candidate doing the same thing.“It’s easier to make the case that this has nothing to do with race, this has nothing to do with sex, this is just one presidential candidate bashing the vice president,” Lawless said.
