Ex-Aide Predicts Donald Trump Tactic Against Kamala Harris That Will Backfire
Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin on Monday predicted how Republican nominee Donald Trump and his campaign team will go after his potential 2024 election rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
Griffin also envisioned how the tactics deployed by Trump and his team would backfire on the former president.
“The Trump campaign is going to overplay its hand,” Griffin said on Monday’s broadcast of “The View,” which she co-hosts.
“They’re going to lean too hard into sexist, misogynistic attacks and too hard on race and it’s going to make independent moderates, call them ‘Nikki Haley swing voters,’ be like, ‘I can’t be with this guy,’” she added.
“I really think they’re going to go way too far with her and alienate a lot of voters,” Griffin concluded.
Earlier, Griffin, who is now critical of her former boss Trump, summed up the pros and cons of Harris taking over the presidential nomination from President Joe Biden, who announced the end of his reelection campaign on Sunday.
Harris is vetted on a national stage, has name recognition and “flips the narrative” on age because she would be the younger candidate, Griffin noted. Republicans have long attacked Biden over his age, despite him being only three years older than Trump.
The 2024 election will be decided by first- or second-time voters and Harris will energize them and have momentum to carry her forward, Griffin added.

On CNN, meanwhile, Griffin said “Trump world is very nervous” about taking on Harris and that “this is going to get ugly very, very quickly.”
