Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones cautioned Republicans for labeling Democratic nominee Kamala Harris as a DEI hire, warning against turning the election into an identity politics race and upsetting voters. Criticism arose from claims by Rep. Tim Burchett that Harris was chosen solely based on her race and gender following President Biden's endorsement. Jones, supported by hosts like Steve Doocy, advised conservatives to avoid fixating on this issue and concentrate on Harris' track record instead.
