Former President Donald Trump's remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris during the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) conference have sparked backlash, even from some Republicans. Trump controversially suggested that Harris has only recently identified as Black, dismissing her long-standing acknowledgment of her heritage, which includes Indian ancestry. Conservative pundit Scott Jennings criticized Trump's performance, saying he 'did crap the bed' and should focus on policy attacks instead. Republican responses ranged from concern over Trump's ability to engage with the new Democratic ticket to outright condemnation of his comments about racial identity. Additionally, some GOP figures expressed worry that Trump's behavior might alienate undecided voters. The incident has raised questions about Trump's campaign strategy as he seeks to reassert his presence in the political conversation following the shift in focus towards Harris.
