Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump shared a lewd comment on social media about Vice-President Kamala Harris on Wednesday, continuing the trend of demeaning rhetoric from Republicans towards Trump's Democratic opponent.

The offensive remark, initially made by another Truth Social user, disparaged both Harris and former Democratic contender Hillary Clinton, remarking crudely on how 'blowjobs' influenced their careers. This alludes to Harris's past relationship with ex-San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown and Bill Clinton's infamous affair with Monica Lewinsky.

The Trump camp, along with representatives for Harris and the Clintons, did not respond for comment. The post amplifies ongoing racist and sexist offensives against Harris, America's first female, Black, and South Asian vice president, who has recently surged ahead of Trump in national polls. Trump's continued personal attacks, including calling Harris 'crazy' and 'dumb as a rock,' have raised concerns among some of his supporters about potential fallout with Black voters.
