Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said he sees a “gaping, wide-open opportunity to go harder” at Vice President Harris on her policy record.
Ramaswamy pointed to instances of Harris backing away from some policy positions she held while running for president in 2019 within the Democratic primary, seeing that as an opportunity for the Republican ticket, led by former President Trump, to use as a way to persuade voters.
“I think the reality is most people do like their private health insurance, who have it. She has favored taking it away,” Ramaswamy, a Trump surrogate, said during his Thursday morning appearance on CNN. “Most people do like fracking and drilling and the effects on energy prices that that has; she’s opposed fracking. She’s opposed to even offshore drilling.”
“These are issues we should be hitting hard on,” he said. “Take that tax on unrealized capital gains. That means most farmers and most small business owners will have to pay taxes with cash they literally do not have, that is a formula for a Great Depression. So my assessment is we have not been going hard enough at her for that policy record.”
The entrepreneur said the fixation on policy is a “winning” strategy and it would provide a contrast against the Democrats who, he says, have been “leveling” personal insults at Republicans.
