Republicans have launched a nefarious smear campaign against Kamala Harris, insinuating that the Democratic candidate is somehow politically tied to Joe Biden.

“[JD] Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally”, Politico observed. That Harris is currently Biden’s vice president, and has been for nearly four years, is neither here nor there.

Harris, meanwhile, has been distancing herself from the administration. She recently flipped on the border issue, pledging to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the project the current administration has actively opposed. She also came out against electric vehicle mandates this week, a policy the White House has pushed. Will she come out against Biden himself?
