Republican leaders urge party to avoid racist and sexist attacks against Harris

The GOP wants to focus on Kamala Harris's record, not her ethnicity or gender - but who will tell Trump?

Republican leaders are warning party members against using overtly racist and sexist attacks against Kamala Harris, as they and Donald Trump's campaign scramble to adjust to the reality of a new Democratic rival less than four months before election day.

At a closed-door meeting of House Republicans on Tuesday, the chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Richard Hudson, urged lawmakers to stick to criticizing Harris for her role in Biden-Harris administration policies.
