尽管一个新的民主党对手加入了竞选大约三周前美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)似乎仍在关注已经退出竞选的人——美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)。
从那时到现在副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯获得了民主党的头名特朗普竞选团队和他的盟友试图将注意力转向新的民主党对手——但在迄今为止的竞选活动中，特朗普一直在攻击现任总统，因为他努力定义哈里斯.
在竞选集会和采访中，特朗普将拜登退出竞选形容为“政变”，尽管民主党人团结在新创造的选票周围，基本上没有对总统候选人的突然变化进行反击。最近，他在与的谈话中提到了这个问题周一晚上，科技巨头埃隆·马斯克在X.

他还错误地声称，如果拜登不愿意下台，民主党人会援引第25修正案。第25修正案规定，如果总统在任期内去世或辞职，或者如果总统内阁成员认为总统无法履行职责，副总统将代替总统。特朗普自己的内阁和他的盟友的一些成员讨论援引第25修正案2021年1月6日美国国会大厦遇袭后。
即使他说他发现哈里斯是一个更容易的对手，特朗普也一再推动关于哈里斯被取代的可能性的毫无根据的说法，称拜登可能会“卷土重来”，或者民主党可能会用另一名候选人取代哈里斯。
到目前为止，在竞选活动中，特朗普对哈里斯的许多攻击都集中在他对拜登的老攻击上，并将她描绘成比现任总统“更糟糕”，包括称她比拜登“更激进”。
在攻击拜登和哈里斯的同时，特朗普坚称，他没有重新调整自己的竞选活动，只专注于哈里斯，他说，“政策是一样的:开放边境，打击犯罪不力。”
在对哈里斯的直接攻击中，特朗普重复了哈里斯被任命为“边境沙皇”的错误说法，自拜登让她领导外交谈判以解决萨尔瓦多、洪都拉斯和危地马拉移民的根本原因以来，这一标签一直伴随着副总统。
特朗普还攻击她支持禁止水力压裂、单一支付者医疗保健，如“全民医保”、通货膨胀和经济。
除了她作为副总统的记录，特朗普竞选团队还试图将自己与哈里斯区分开来，仔细审查她自成为被提名人以来缺乏媒体露面的情况。
“卡玛拉拒绝接受采访，因为她的团队意识到她无法回答问题，就像拜登无法回答问题一样，但出于不同的原因，”特朗普在一篇社交媒体帖子中写道。
特朗普竞选团队强调，在哈里斯成为提名人后的20多天里，她还没有接受媒体采访。
相比之下，在过去的一周，特朗普在佛罗里达州的棕榈滩举行了新闻发布会，他的竞选伙伴万斯(JD Vance)每天都在战场闪电战中向媒体发表讲话，反映了哈里斯和她的竞选伙伴明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹(Tim Walz)的行程。
Trump is running against Harris, but he can't seem to stop attacking Biden
Despite a new Democratic opponent who entered the racesome three weeks ago, former President Donald Trump appears to be still focused on the man no longer in the race -- President Joe Biden.
Ever sinceVice President Kamala Harris took over the top of the Democratic ticket, the Trump campaign and his allies have attempted to turn their focus toward the new Democratic rival -- but on the campaign trail so far, Trump has kept up attacks on the current president as hestruggles to define Harris.
At campaign rallies and during interviews, Trump has characterized Biden exiting the race as a "coup" even though Democrats rallied around the newly minted ticket and largely haven't pushed back on the sudden change in presidential candidates. Most recently, he brought it up during his conversation withtech mogul Elon Musk on X Monday night.
"We have somebody that hasn't received one vote for president and she's running," Trump said during anews conference in Mar-a-Lago last week.
He also falsely claimed that Democrats would have invoked the 25th Amendment if Biden didn't step down willingly. The 25th Amendment says that the vice president replaces the president if they die in office or resign, or if members of the president's Cabinet decide the president is unable to fulfill the duties of the office. Some members of Trump's own Cabinet and his alliesdiscussed invoking the 25th Amendmentafter the attacks at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
And even as he says he finds Harris to be an easier rival, Trump has repeatedly pushed baseless claims about the possibility of Harris being replaced, saying that Biden could make a "comeback" or that the Democratic Party could replace Harris with another candidate.
So far on the campaign trail, many of Trump's attacks on Harris have centered on his old lines of attack against Biden and painting her as "worse" than the sitting president, including calling her "more radical" than Biden.
As he attacks both Biden and Harris, Trump insists that he hasn't recalibrated his campaign to focus solely on Harris, saying, "It's the same policies: open borders, weak on crime."
In a direct attack against Harris, Trump has repeated the false claim that Harris was appointed "border czar," a label that has stuck with the vice president since Biden tasked her with leading diplomatic talks to address the root causes of migration from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.
Trump has also attacked her for supporting a ban on fracking, single-payer healthcare such as "Medicare for All," inflation and the economy.
In addition to her record as vice president, the Trump campaign has tried to differentiate themselves from Harris, scrutinizing her over the lack of media appearances since becoming the nominee.
"Kamala refuses to do interviews because her team realizes she is unable to answer questions, much like Biden was not able to answer questions, but for different reasons," Trump wrote in a social media post.
The Trump campaign stresses that in the more than 20 days since Harris has become the nominee, she has not yet had media availability.
By contrast, in the past week, Trump held the news conference in Palm Beach, Florida, and his running mate Sen. JD Vance spoke to the press daily during a battleground blitz mirroring Harris' trip with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
