JUST IN: Lara Trump EXPOSES Kamala Harris’s ‘Illegal’ Scheme to Recruit High School Students for Campaign!
Lara Trump, co-chair of the Republican National Committee and wife of Eric Trump, is slamming Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly setting up a “highly illegal” campaign scheme targeting parents and teachers in North Carolina.
In a fiery Instagram post, Lara warned parents that left-wing teachers in Gaston, N.C., were reaching out to their students, pushing them to sign up and volunteer for the Harris campaign. Lara shared a screenshot of an email from Reed Breunig, a Regional Organizer for the Harris campaign, sent to teachers in the area. In the email, Breunig offers an “exciting opportunity” for students to get involved with a local political campaign. According to him, he was helping the Harris campaign coordinate voter outreach with other Democratic candidates on the ballot.
“The North Carolina Democratic Party is looking for high school students interested in getting involved with the campaign and learning a bit more about local, state, and national politics,” Breunig wrote. The email promised a “fellowship” with a commitment of “roughly 5-10 hours a week,” where students would engage in activities like “talking with voters, helping to run the office, and the day-to-day business of the campaign.” While the position didn’t come with a paycheck, Breunig assured students they could receive volunteer hours and school credit for their work.

The controversy arises because North Carolina state law prohibits public employees from engaging in political activity, like managing a campaign, while on duty or using state resources for political purposes. If Breunig’s email was sent to teachers’ official work accounts, and they passed it on to their students, it could be a violation of state regulations. Lara Trump pointed out in her post that “The Gaston County School Board has reportedly shut this down and is currently investigating the matter.”
As the race between Trump and Harris remains razor-thin in North Carolina, with recent polls showing Trump leading Harris 46.5% to 46%, this scandal could influence voters. According to FiveThirtyEight, most polls in the last month show Trump holding a slight lead of 1-3%.
The Trump campaign and the RNC are laser-focused on ensuring election integrity ahead of November 5th. A large team of lawyers has been deployed across battleground states, ready to tackle any issues related to potential voter fraud. Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has been pushing for legislation requiring voter ID nationwide to safeguard the election process. Since 2020, Trump has remained adamant that the last election was rigged, pointing fingers at election officials in states like Arizona and Georgia, alleging they didn’t count all the ballots. Though Trump’s lawsuits were dismissed, he and his allies are not backing down in their fight to restore election fairness.
