SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Donald Trump barely mentioned Tim Kaine when he was the Democratic vice presidential nominee in 2016.
But four years later, the president has plenty to say about Kamala Harris.Trump said this week that “nobody likes” Harris, feeding into a standard of likability that is applied to women in leadership far more often than men.
He told voters in North Carolina it would be “an insult to our country” if Harris became the first female president. And Trump and his allies repeatedly mispronounce Harris' first name, a pattern her supporters say amounts to a deliberate effort to portray the daughter of immigrants as someone who does not belong at the top ranks of politics.Trump is focusing on Harris as he has sometimes struggled.
