OPINION| In a stunning turn of events, the political landscape has been shaken by the sudden withdrawal of President Joe Biden from the 2024 presidential race. As the dust settles, the spotlight has shifted to Vice President Kamala Harris, who has been thrust into the forefront of the Democratic Party’s bid for the White House. However, the Trump-aligned super PAC, MAGA Inc., has wasted no time in launching a scathing attack on Harris, signaling the beginning of what promises to be a fierce and contentious campaign.
In a new ad released just hours after Biden’s announcement, MAGA Inc. pulls no punches in its portrayal of Harris as a political opportunist who was “in on” a cover-up of Biden’s “mental decline.” The ad accuses Harris of knowing that Biden was unfit for office and suggests that she actively worked to undermine his presidency while pursuing her own political ambitions.
The ad, titled “Kamala’s Cover-Up,” paints a damning picture of Harris as a power-hungry politician who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. It features a montage of clips showing Harris speaking about Biden’s mental acuity and her own qualifications for the presidency, interspersed with ominous music and dramatic voiceovers.
The ad’s narrator intones, “Kamala Harris knew Joe Biden couldn’t do the job. She covered up his obvious mental decline and used it to her advantage. Look at what she got done: a border invasion, runaway inflation, the American Dream dead.” The ad concludes with the ominous warning, “Kamala Harris: unfit for office, unfit for America.”
Trump supporters have rallied behind the ad, viewing it as a powerful indictment of Harris’ character and a rallying cry for their cause. They argue that the ad exposes Harris as a calculating politician who will say and do anything to advance her own interests, even if it means undermining the president she serves.

Critics of the ad, however, have dismissed it as a desperate smear campaign by a Trump-aligned super PAC desperate to regain the White House. They argue that the ad relies on baseless accusations and innuendo, and that it fails to provide any concrete evidence to support its claims.
As the 2024 presidential race heats up, the battle between Trump and Harris is sure to be one of the most closely watched and fiercely contested in recent memory. With the Trump campaign already firing on all cylinders, it remains to be seen how Harris and the Democratic Party will respond to this early salvo.
One thing is certain: the 2024 election will be a referendum on the competing visions for America’s future. Trump supporters will be fighting to preserve the values and principles that they believe made this country great, while Harris and the Democrats will be pushing for a more progressive, inclusive, and equitable society. The stakes are high, and the nation is bracing itself for what promises to be one of the most consequential elections in its history.
