The Trump campaign slammed reports that Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign told Arab American leaders in Detroit that if she’s elected on Nov. 5, she would likely name left-wing Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison as the U.S.’ top cop.
"Keith Ellison would be a natural fit in a Kamala Harris administration. Both are radical liberals who support ending cash bail and releasing violent criminals into American neighborhoods. The good news for the American people is that it’s never going to happen, because President Trump is going to win on November 5," Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News Digital.
Over the weekend, reports surfaced that the Harris campaign allegedly told Arab American community leaders in Detroit that Ellison is on Harris' short list of potential attorneys general. Ellison has since denied the report.
"Arab American leaders in Detroit have been told by the Kamala campaign that @keithellison is on the short list to be Attorney General if she should win," former acting director of National Intelligence under the Trump administration, Richard Grenell, posted to X on Saturday.
