Folks, let’s break down what’s been happening on the campaign trail as we gear up for the 2024 election. Alina Habba, a lawyer for Donald Trump and now a senior adviser to his campaign, just made a big splash with her first official remarks at a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. And let me tell you, she didn’t hold back.
Habba is stepping into the role of an attack dog for Trump, and her target? Vice President Kamala Harris, who is now the presumed Democratic nominee. In her speech, Habba went after Harris with everything she had, even going so far as to mispronounce her name—a tactic that certainly got a reaction from the crowd.
She accused Harris of being "worse than a socialist" and even suggested that she’s involved in covering up President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. This isn’t just typical campaign rhetoric; Habba’s remarks are designed to stir up strong emotions among Trump’s base.
The crowd in Harrisburg, packed into the Farm Show Complex, ate it up. They cheered as Habba accused Harris of lying about Biden’s fitness for office and slammed the policies of the Biden-Harris administration.
According to Habba, these policies have been disastrous, and she made it clear that she believes Harris is leading the country down the wrong path. She even drew comparisons to Bernie Sanders, suggesting that Harris would lose just like Sanders did, despite having strong backing.
Alina Habba @AlinaHabba takes down Kamala Harris. Beautiful. 👍🏻

Pennsylvania is a crucial state in this election, and it’s not surprising that Trump and his team are putting in extra effort here. It’s a state that Trump narrowly won in 2016 but lost in 2020. With the state’s governor, Democrat Josh Shapiro, already campaigning for Harris, it’s clear that both sides see Pennsylvania as a key battleground.
Habba also brought some personal history into her speech, mentioning her connection to Harrisburg and her excitement about having another chance to speak after the Republican National Convention. She seemed particularly eager to address Harris directly now that the vice president has taken over Biden’s campaign. Habba made it clear that she’s ready to take the fight to Harris, emphasizing her own identity as a strong woman, a mother, and a lawyer who stands by the Constitution.
In her closing remarks, Habba defended Trump passionately, saying that the only "crime" he’s guilty of is loving his country. This kind of fiery rhetoric is exactly what you’d expect as we head into the heat of the 2024 campaign, and it’s clear that Habba is going to be a major player in Trump’s strategy moving forward.
