Assessing Trump’s and Harris’s Attacks on Each Other

In the weeks since Vice President Kamala Harris ascended to the top of the Democratic ticket, she and former President Donald J. Trump have each sought to portray the other as extreme and unfit for office.

Mr. Trump has tried out a variety of attack lines on Ms. Harris, such as falsely questioning her racial identity and the sizes of her crowds. The former president has also cast Ms. Harris as a member of the “radical left” by describing her positions and record on immigration, tax policy, climate change and criminal justice — often adding spurious extrapolations to overstate her positions even more.
