Here are the ways Trump has gone after Kamala Harris' race and gender

Since President Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid and endorsed Kamala Harris to take his spot, Donald Trump has increasingly gone after her race and gender.

In the roughly two weeks since President Joe Biden dropped his re-election bid and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, to take his spot at the top of the ticket, Donald Trump has increasingly gone after his new opponent's race and gender.

Harris, whose mother was Indian and father is Jamaican, would make history if she is elected president. She'd be both the first female president and the first Asian American president.

Trump no longer has another older white man to run against. At 59, Harris is roughly 20 years younger than Trump and has already been trying to reach the younger voters, and voters of color, who were unenthusiastic about Biden.

It's a demographic Trump has also been trying to chip away at. His response to running against Harris has been to lash out with gender- and race-centered attacks — attempts to undermine her credibility with some of those groups — while questioning whether she's qualified to be president and reinforcing his base.

The strategy, however, risks alienating voters who may believe the attacks go too far.
