According to data from AdImpact, the Trump campaign and its affiliated super PACS shelled out 57 percent of the their television spending to anti-Harris campaigns, compared to the 8 percent dedicated to anti-Trump ads by the Democratic ticket, from Aug. 23 to Aug. 29.

“This is a moment in the message arc of us seeking to define her, she’s seeking to define herself,” a Trump adviser told The Washington Post.

“We have a defined candidate—everyone knows everything about the person. There’s lots of new information about Kamala Harris that people just don’t know.”

“Our focus every day is on ensuring the American people know Kamala’s dangerously liberal record and see her for who she is,” said the former president’s campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt. “A phony, radical, San Francisco liberal who would further spiral our once great nation into a sanctuary for illegal immigrants and a nightmare for law-abiding Americans.”

If that plan fails, “then you define her as a liar who you can’t trust,” Republican strategist Jeff Roe told Puck.
