The Trump campaign has released a new attack ad targeting Kamala Harris for her support of taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners. The ad, which began airing in Wisconsin, references a 2019 questionnaire filled out by Harris during her 2020 presidential bid where she backed progressive policies, including taxpayer-funded surgeries for detained immigrants and federal prisoners.
The ad features a clip of Harris at a town hall event hosted by the Transgender Equality Action Fund, where she discusses her support for providing surgery to transgender inmates in the prison system. The ad closes with the message, “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you,” as part of a broader effort by the Trump campaign to paint Harris as a left-wing radical.
Harris has acknowledged that her stances have evolved over time but maintains that her core beliefs remain unchanged. In response to the attack ad, the Harris campaign has continued its bipartisan appeals, emphasizing Harris's commitment to her values.
This latest ad is one of several recent pro-Trump ads that have targeted Harris for her progressive positions taken during the 2020 presidential primary. The Trump campaign and its allies are working to undermine Harris's campaign by highlighting these positions and portraying her as out of touch with mainstream values.
As the election season progresses, both campaigns are ramping up their efforts to sway voters and shape public opinion. The attack ad against Harris is just one example of the intense political messaging that will continue to dominate the airwaves in the coming weeks.
