'They're talking about couches and cat ladies': Trump campaign warned it's floundering

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," former GOP strategist Tara Seymayer pointed out to the Donald Trump campaign that it has hit a major speed bump now that Vice President Kamala Harris will be the former president's opponent in November.

And a big part of that speed bump, she noted, is his choice of running mate, Sen. J. D. Vance (R-OH), who is being dogged by controversies both real and fake which have taken social media by storm.

Now that Vance's comments in 2021 that "childless cat ladies," were "miserable" and had no "direct stake" in the country have been dredged up, combined with a fake claim on X that Vance wrote about having sex wth a couch in his best-selling "Hillbilly Elegy," Setmayer claimed that Trump's message to voters is being drowned out.

Speaking with co-host Michael Steele, Setmayer stated, "It hasn't even been a week, people, it hasn't even been a week. In this time frame, we've got Donald Trump and MAGA and J.D. Vance playing defense. They are talking about couches and cat ladies and we are talking about Kamala Harris and record-breaking activity, whether it is fundraising, whether it is the grassroots organizing."

"I say it is a pretty great week for the Democrats. They need to maintain this, right? We talk about the it is only 100 days — it is a sprint at this point, it is not a marathon," she added. "We are in the final days of this 2024 election, which feels like it never ended, it has been going on for years."

"Women are fired up and ready to go," she later added. "The audacity of J.D. Vance to call women 'miserable cat ladies.' Women aren't miserable, they are motivated and look out," she claimed.
