Almost immediately after President Biden announced Sunday that he was endorsing Harris to replace him on the ticket, Republicans began their offensive.
House Speaker Mike Johnson chats with Vice President Harris before Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida speaks during a joint meeting of Congress in Washington on April 11.
In a closed-door conference meeting on Tuesday, House GOP leaders, including Johnson and Rep. Richard Hudson , chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, told Republicans to focus on Harris’s policy record and time in the administration rather than go after her identity, according to multiple people who spoke on the condition of anonymity to freely discuss internal conversations.
“I think Vice President Harris and former president Trump is the match and let those two talk about each other,” he said.“DEI stands for diversity, equity and inclusion. That means all of us, not some of us,” said Rep. Robin Kelly , a member of the Congressional Black Caucus. “So they’re trying to just make their attacks — some sad ones, too, that we’ve seen — but we’ll get past that, and she’ll get past that.”.
