Recounting her sudden flip-flops:
The first television ads to attack Ms. Harris for her past statements came not from Mr. Trump’s campaign but from Mr. McCormick, who is challenging Senator Bob Casey.
The 60-second ad, which Mr. McCormick’s campaign began airing Monday, resurfaces a laundry list of statements Ms. Harris made in 2019 and 2020.
She said then that she [1] opposed fracking; [2] would “think about” abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency; [3] called the idea of adding more police officers “wrongheaded thinking”; [4] entertained the idea of allowing felons to vote; [5] said she supported a “mandatory buyback program” for some guns; and [6] called for the elimination of private health insurance.
Fracking is a particularly tough issue for Ms. Harris. Banning it was a plank in her energy platform in the 2020 primary race. But fracking remains a key element of the economy in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most important battleground state this year.
