There are more areas, other than social issues, that he is being attacked in.

Some people are still scared of the socialism/communism attack angle, which is a higher likelihood if they are from an older generation that was heavily exposed to that propaganda.

Kamala provides an 'establishment' backing that makes Abdul's platform more acceptable/safer to people who do hold those views.
