The former president tried to continue the thread of pointing to Harris&rsquo;s inconsistency on policy to her alleged playing up different aspects of her biracial identity. He accused Harris of &ldquo;becoming a black person&rdquo; later in her career when it was advantageous for her after emphasizing her Indian heritage earlier.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Harris is of Jamaican and Indian descent and, as David wrote, &ldquo;has identified as black in both her formative years and throughout her career. She attended a black sorority at Howard University and was a member of the Congressional Black Caucus during her time in the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title> Senate<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The racial attack was spurned by most congressional Republicans, who said they preferred to attack Harris on her record. They weren&rsquo;t picky about whether they preferred to slam the candidate on the policies she said she supported at one time and has decided are no longer important, or the programs she has been the face of as a member of the Biden-Harris administration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s those programs, primarily her role as Biden&rsquo;s &ldquo;border czar&rdquo; and the face of his administration&rsquo;s propping up of abortion rights, that are giving Trump ample opportunity to keep up his stream of attacks on Biden even while he fades into the background.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Running against Harris isn&rsquo;t the fight Trump picked when he waited and watched the GOP primary field fall apart with him barely lifting a finger. The plan was always to position himself as the alternative to an aged, low-energy Biden who was sapping the excitement from voters. Instead, he is locked in a fight with a significantly younger Harris, who has injected new life into the electorate, raising hundreds of millions of dollars and signing up hundreds of thousands of new volunteers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trump wasn&rsquo;t able to pick his opponent, but he&rsquo;s capable of picking his battles. Each of those is likely to include Biden &mdash;&nbsp;and the ways Harris can&rsquo;t escape being tied to her boss.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3110182\/trump-lingers-on-biden-despite-pivot-to-radical-harris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>  to read more about Trump&rsquo;s campaign tactics.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Michigan madness<\/h2>\n<p>Primary season is drawing to a close. There are a handful of contests that need to wrap up before voters know who their candidates are going to be in November.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of the most important contests is happening on Tuesday night in Michigan, where Democrats are all but assured to send Rep. <strong>Elissa Slotkin <\/strong>(D-MI) to face off against former Republican Rep. <strong>Mike Rogers<\/strong> in one of a handful of pivotal Senate contests that will determine control of the chamber next year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rogers and Slotkin still need to win their respective primaries, though the results appear to be a foregone conclusion, as Senate Reporter <strong>Ramsey Touchberry <\/strong>wrote this morning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Democratic front-runner, Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), faces off against actor and small business owner <strong>Hill Harper<\/strong>,&rdquo; Ramsey wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Republican front-runner, former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, is up against physician <strong>Sherry O&rsquo;Donnell<\/strong> and Republican-turned-libertarian former Rep. <strong>Justin Amash<\/strong>.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rogers or another Republican faces an uphill fight, though one significantly easier with Sen. <strong>Debbie Stabenow <\/strong>(D-MI) not on the ticket. Michigan hasn&rsquo;t sent a Republican to the Senate in two decades, and Sen. <strong>Gary Peters <\/strong>(D-MI), the chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, told Ramsey it wasn&rsquo;t going to this year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no way we&rsquo;re losing Michigan on my watch,&rdquo; Peters said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Peters has some reason to be confident. Harris overtaking Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket has breathed new life into down-ballot feelings as voters are getting inspired to turn up on Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>Biden frustrated the Arab- and Muslim-American communities in Dearborn, Michigan, with his vocal support for Israel in its war with Hamas. Their frustration meant a sizable &ldquo;uncommitted&rdquo; movement would send delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Chicago later this month. A delegation that likely prefers Harris&rsquo;s approach to Israel than Biden&rsquo;s &mdash;&nbsp;and one that is not going to be a short-term factor as Harris locked up the roll call nomination last week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While Republicans were worried about having to face Stabenow, they are feeling bullish about their chances of defeating Slotkin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You can probably get almost every Republican who is either in the field or ran in the field to admit that they wouldn&rsquo;t have run against Debbie [Stabenow],&rdquo; a source close to the Rogers campaign told Ramsey. &ldquo;I think going against Slotkin, who we haven&rsquo;t really seen run statewide, we don&rsquo;t really know her vulnerabilities.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have slowly been improving their standing in Michigan, running a candidate who lost to Peters by fewer than 2 points in 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The nonpartisan <em>Cook Political Report <\/em>shifted the Senate race there from &ldquo;lean Democrat&rdquo; to &ldquo;toss-up,&rdquo; though that was when Biden was spooking Slotkin from appearing with him on the trail, and the rating hasn&rsquo;t been revisited since the president dropped out of the contest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3109602\/michigan-primary-election-tuesday-senate-majority\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>  to read more about what you need to know before Michigan&rsquo;s primary tomorrow night.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Supreme Court story as old as time<\/h2>\n<p>Republicans are furious with Biden&rsquo;s latest attempt to interfere with the Supreme Court. His move in the twilight hours of his presidency to push through term limits and an enforceable code of conduct on the justices smacks of executive overreach and partisan point-scoring &mdash; an attempt to run up the score with a Democratic base that has jolted to life with Harris taking over standard-bearer duties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Efforts to overhaul the court have primarily been from the Left, though Republicans were involved in some of the earliest moves to influence the court, Breaking News Reporter <strong>Jack Birle <\/strong>reminded us this morning in a short history lesson.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;While the Supreme Court has largely stayed the same structurally until 1869, there have been several attempts to change the status quo in the more than 150 years since,&rdquo; Jack wrote, about three failed attempts to overhaul the makeup and authority of the court.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The most famous foiled plan was President <strong>Franklin D. Roosevelt&rsquo;s <\/strong>attempt to &ldquo;pack&rdquo; the court in 1937 after it struck down several New Deal programs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Roosevelt claimed his proposal to add up to six more justices, or one for each justice that was over 70 years old, was to lighten the workload for the justices, but it was widely viewed as an attempt to tip the court in his favor,&rdquo; Jack wrote.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Democratic field in 2020 nearly all ran on some promise to consider a plan to pump up the number of justices on the court after Trump appointed three justices, reshaping the ideological tilt for what will likely be a generation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Democratic attempts at meddling are well documented, but Republicans have gotten in on the action, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Idaho Sen. William Borah tried to dilute the authority of the court in 1923 when he proposed a piece of legislation that would have required a 7-2 majority to kill a law passed by Congress. The bill went nowhere, and 5-4 decisions have riled up Democrats and Republicans for decades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/supreme-court\/3108993\/past-attempts-reform-supreme-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>  to read more about the failed attempts to overhaul the Supreme Court over the years.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New from us<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/editorials\/3108762\/where-does-kamala-harris-stand-on-permitting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Where does Kamala Harris stand on permitting?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/healthcare\/3109336\/house-republicans-military-health-agency-parents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>House Republicans slam military health agency for blocking parents&rsquo; access to children&rsquo;s health records<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/congressional\/3109300\/jon-tester-stance-kamala-harris-montana\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Jon Tester&rsquo;s delicate dance with the top of the Democratic ticket<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/investigations\/3108910\/democratic-dark-money-fuels-nonpartisan-climate-group-behind-swing-state-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democratic dark money fuels &lsquo;nonpartisan&rsquo; climate group behind swing state ads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3109389\/milwaukees-mayor-wisconsin-voters-their-vote-counts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Milwaukee&rsquo;s mayor is making sure Wisconsin voters know how much their vote counts: &lsquo;The swingiest of states&rsquo;<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In case you missed it<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3110380\/rfk-jr-left-dead-bear-central-park-prank\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>RFK Jr. thinks he&rsquo;s a bit of a prankster&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3110238\/concerns-mount-over-one-of-harriss-top-choices-for-vice-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Democrats have serious problems with the odds-on favorite to be Harris&rsquo;s VP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3110243\/pelosi-biden-face-added-mount-rushmore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln, and &hellip; Joe Biden?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For your radar<\/h2>\n<p>Biden has no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-is-illegal-republicans-question-biden-administrations-ban-of-drones-at-epicenter-of-border-crisis\/\" title=\"\u2018This is Illegal\u2019: Republicans Question Biden Administration\u2019s Ban of Drones at Epicenter of Border Crisis\">public events scheduled<\/a> on Monday.

His recent debate against President Joe Biden was so overwhelmingly in his favor that Democrats replaced their leader with his second-in-command. The June 27 debate has been one of the most significant televised debates in history. With Biden out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris stepping in, Trump has redirected his attacks towards what he describes as a &#8220;dangerously liberal&#8221; Democratic alternative. He has ample material for his speeches, including Harris\u2019s shift on various positions she previously held during her campaign against Biden four years ago.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are certain habits Trump seems unable to break; attacking Biden appears to be instinctual for him at this point. As Congress and Campaigns Editor David Sivak noted today, \u201cTrump has aligned with Republicans in branding Harris as a \u2018San Francisco radical\u2019 who failed as Biden\u2019s \u2018border czar.\u2019 His campaign\u2019s initial ad against her highlighted the immigration crisis under Biden while labeling her \u2018dangerously liberal.\u2019\u201d Despite this focus on Harris, Trump continues to incorporate jabs at Biden into his rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>The transition from targeting an established opponent like Biden to facing a relatively unknown figure like Harris poses challenges for Republicans just months before Election Day. While they have spent years preparing to run against an aging president they deem unfit for office\u2014despite unsuccessful impeachment efforts\u2014the sudden shift towards campaigning against Harris complicates their strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, The Washington Examiner examined how both parties are attempting to define Harris ahead of November&#8217;s elections. Trump&#8217;s latest criticisms have not resonated well among elected officials; he attempted to highlight inconsistencies in her policies by questioning her racial identity claims throughout her career\u2014a move that many congressional Republicans dismissed in favor of focusing on her record instead.<\/p>\n<p>As Trump navigates this new landscape where he must contend with a younger opponent who is energizing voters and raising substantial funds, he remains adept at choosing battles that still allow him to target both Biden and tie Harris closely to him.<\/p>\n<p>**Michigan Primary Excitement**<br \/>\nAs primary season nears its conclusion, several key contests remain before voters finalize their choices for November elections. One crucial event is taking place Tuesday night in Michigan where Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) is expected to face former Republican Rep.
