As CNN reported, for the first time since 1984, more Americans now identify as Republicans because Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party’s dangerously liberal policies have failed the hardworking men and women of America.”
The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.
