I think they will just call her “the DEI candidate”, which is a few layers isolated from the actual N-word, so they can have some plausible deniability for the moderates, while also signaling to the radicals.

Diversity, equality equity, inclusion.

Slight correction: it’s equity not equality.

Equality is everyone being treated the same way regardless of differences.

Equity is everyone being provided with the tools they need to succeed taking individual differences into account.

This is the goal, whether or not it succeeds depends on how it’s implemented.

The current far-right boogeyman.

They use it to claim people that are not white, cishet, able-bodied, male, etc. are hired for their “diversity quota”, not their skills, while also appearing as reasonable to moderates. In my country (Hungary), similar backlashes were used to get minorities fired or not hired for some single minor mistake, and then hire a way worse non-minority. I was the victim of such thing, they asked my brother if I have “random violent meltdowns that end with destroyed equipment and bit co-workers”, when my brother said no, they decided to make me write on a table (which I suck at), where I was “too slow”, so they hired some more neurotypical guy, who had like almost zero programming knowledge, while I was described as “already having junior-level knowledge from open source projects”.

Don’t forget “whore”, they are already using that. It’s a sign that they have nothing of substance to attack her on.

They call that “white genocide.” (“White genocide” is when commercials have black people in them.)

The N word doesn’t work on her. Kamala is Jamaican/Indian and has been criticized for being too hard on blacks by some.
Also, DEI has benefited the right in their past, when their ancestors arrived in America, but they are too ignorant to understand that.

This is like that tweet where an Asian woman tells her mother that her using Cantonese instead of Laotian isn’t going to stop the racists.
