The Trump campaign is keeping a close eye on the rumblings within the Democratic Party and their allies in the liberal media who are suggesting that President Joe Biden should step down following his lackluster debate performance.
In response to these whispers, the campaign wasted no time rolling out two new ads focused on Vice President Kamala Harris. The message is clear: if Biden were to exit the stage, Harris would be waiting in the wings to take over.

The ads draw attention to Biden's recent mishaps, poking fun at his struggles with stairs, bikes, jackets, and navigating his way around. The underlying message is that a Biden presidency may not last, and the country could soon find itself with Harris at the helm.

Republican National Committee co-chair Lara Trump pointed out that Harris' polling numbers are far from impressive, painting a picture of a Democratic ticket in disarray should Biden be removed for someone else.

Trump also highlighted the Democrats' questionable commitment to democracy, citing instances where candidates like Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were allegedly sidelined and silenced within the party. She argues this starkly contradicts the values of democracy that the Democrats claim to champion.
The Trump campaign's strategic focus on Harris and Biden's potential exit underscores the GOP's keen interest in exploiting weaknesses within the Democratic ranks. As the political drama unfolds, both parties are gearing up for what promises to be a contentious and unpredictable election cycle.
