WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign is launching a new digital ad Tuesday slamming the Republican vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance, as “extremist” and a “danger to our democracy.”
The spot argues Vance, R-Ohio, “could be a heartbeat away” from the presidency if Donald Trump wins in November, the first time the Democratic ticket has gone after the former president’s age in paid media since she became the Democratic nominee, according to a Harris official.
The 50-second ad, which will target voters in battleground states, concludes with video of Trump appearing to slur his words at an event and then a Fox News host saying, “The former president, he’s been off his game.” It is the first time the Harris campaign has used such clips in any of its ads, the official said.
Age was a dominant campaign issue when President Joe Biden, 81, was still a candidate. Trump is 78 years old.
