Conservatives are so brainrotted that they struggle to make insults that actually stick. They can't call out Kamala for being a cop, the main thing the left dislikes about her, because that would encourage the right wing democrats who worry about her being weak on crime. They can't call her a leftist DA, as not only was she was fairly standard in her time, the left would actually recognize that as a good thing.
All they have is the racist and transphobic bigotry they used on Michelle Obama, which will mostly alienate libs and reinvigorate the left. Not even Trump can find an angle that hits hard, and he's the master of that. They can't fall back on policy, as they've abandoned popular policy completely. Trump's killing of the immigration bill and his bonkers economic platform show how unserious they are about any of the issues they claim to care about.
