The Trump you know and the Harris you don’t

Vice President Kamala Harris’s supporters see a double standard in how her performance is evaluated compared to her Republican opponent, former President Donald Trump.

Harris was panned for her CNN town hall performance, with former President Barack Obama alumnus David Axelrod handing her the key to “word salad city” for some of her answers. 

Trump, by contrast, does freewheeling rallies where he veers off script with reckless abandon. Democratic attempts to call attention to his alleged gaffes often fall on deaf ears outside the progressive base.
