Pence pounces on new Dem foe

- Ebony Bowden

Vice President Mike Pence tore into his new 2020 opponent, telling supporters that Sen. Kamala Harris represents the “radical left” with promises of “socialized medicine and abortion on demand.”

“Joe Biden and the Democratic Party have been overtaken by the radical left,” Pence told a Latterday Saints for Trump event in Arizona.

“So given their promises of higher taxes, open borders, socialized medicine and abortion on demand, it’s no surprise that he chose Senator Harris,” Pence said Tuesday.

Harris, a former California attorney general whose presidenti­al bid last year is best remembered for slamming Biden on interracia­l school busing, appeared in Delaware with Biden for the first time Wednesday.

President Trump, meanwhile, again tore into Harris, noting her failed 2020 presidenti­al run.

“@KamalaHarr­is started strong in the Democrat Primaries, and finished weak . . . That’s the kind of opponent everyone dreams of!” Trump tweeted.

The president also warned a Biden administra­tion would spoil the suburbs with the reinstatem­ent of fair-housing regulation­s.

“The ‘suburban housewife’ will be voting for me. They want safety & are thrilled that I ended the long running program where low income housing would invade their neighborho­od,” he tweeted.

Last month, Trump scrapped the Affirmativ­ely Furthering Fair Housing provision of the 1968 Fair Housing Act, a move that he claimed would protect property values in the suburbs.
