On Trump calling Harris 'comrade,' top Democrat surrogates argue 'that boat doesn’t float'
CHICAGO - Former President Trump has repeatedly argued that Kamala Harris is an ultra-liberal and has insulted the vice president as "comrade Kamala" in the month since she replaced President Biden atop the Democrats' 2024 ticket.
But top Harris surrogates argue that the attacks from the former president won't fly with American voters.
"That boat doesn’t float. It just doesn’t float," Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., told Fox News Digital on Thursday, hours ahead of the vice president's nomination acceptance speech on the final evening of the Democratic National Convention, which is being held in Chicago.
Booker, a leading ally of Harris in the Senate, pointed to legislation he has co-authored with the vice president that they have successfully ushered through Congress and into law.

"I know the things we’ve worked on together. And it’s not sexy stuff. It’s how you clean up the environment, so less people are dying of cancer. It’s how you help farmers out. . . . There’s so many pragmatic things that she’s worked on, and a lot of it is bipartisan," Booker said.

Booker also charged that Trump "is the barrier to pragmatic problem-solving. Kamala Harris is the antedote."
First-term Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, a rising star in the Democratic Party, was also asked about Trump's efforts to paint Harris as a far-left politician.
Video"I have learned not to spend much time listening to Donald Trump’s foolishness," Moore said.
Moore predicted that "what we’re going to hear from the vice president tonight, is actually a real vision of how we’re impacting everyday working families."
