New Trump ad paints Harris as face of 'Bidenomics'

A new advertisement for former President Trump’s campaign tries to paint Vice President Harris as the face of “Bidenomics.”

The nearly minute-long ad, which Trump posted on his Truth Social account Friday, features clips of Harris mentioning “Bidenomics” and ends with text stating “HARRIS OWNS ‘BIDENOMICS’ SHE MADE IT HAPPEN.” 

“‘KAMALA HARRIS OWNS BIDENOMICS,’” Trump captioned the Truth Social post with the ad.

President Biden has used the “Bidenomics” slogan to shine a light on the efforts of his administration to turn the economy around.

“Here’s the simple truth about trickle-down economics, it didn’t represent the best of American capitalism, let alone America,” Biden said last June. “It represented a moment where we walked away … from how this country was built, how this city was built. Bidenomics is about the future.”

Harris became the likely presidential nominee for the Democratic Party after Biden dropped out of the presidential race last weekend. She quickly snapped up key endorsements from those in her party and large amounts in fundraising in the days after her boss dropped out. 

According to a national average of polls from The Hill/Decision Desk HQ, Harris is behind Trump by 2.1 points, at 45.7 percent support to the former president’s 45.8 percent. 

Harris revealed her first presidential campaign video Thursday titled “We Choose Freedom,” with Beyoncé’s song “Freedom” as background music.

“The freedom not just to get by, but to get ahead. The freedom to be safe from gun violence. The freedom to make decisions about your own body. We choose a future when no child lives in poverty, where we can all afford health care,” Harris says.
