Kamala Can’t Run From Her Past
Vice President Kamala Harris is likely to face significant challenges in defending her record during her upcoming debate with former President Donald Trump, according to New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu. In a recent interview with Newsmax, Sununu expressed skepticism about Harris’s ability to effectively address her track record and suggested that her campaign’s actions indicate a lack of confidence in her debating skills.
Sununu pointed out that Harris’s campaign has been notably cautious, limiting her interactions with the media. This, he argues, reflects poorly on her preparedness and raises questions about her ability to convincingly argue her case to the American public. “If my campaign were sending out those kinds of signals, I’d be incredibly worried stepping onto that stage,” Sununu said. He emphasized that Harris’s campaign seems to be setting her up for failure by not fully preparing her for the debate.
In contrast, Sununu believes that former President Trump should focus on addressing the issues that resonate with swing voters—those crucial 8% to 12% of voters who could sway the election. He advised Trump to broaden his discussion beyond the economy to include the rising cost of living, credit card debt, and the impact of the drug crisis. Sununu also recommended that Trump address mental health and urban safety concerns, suggesting that connecting with voters on these topics could enhance his appeal.
Sununu further criticized Harris for lacking a record of significant legislative achievements. He remarked, “Her time as a senator didn’t produce any landmark legislation that stands out as a solution to America’s problems.” He anticipates that Harris will attempt to distance herself from the Biden-Harris administration’s record, but her name remains on the ticket, making it difficult for her to escape accountability.
Overall, Sununu’s analysis paints a picture of a Vice President who might struggle to defend her record against a formidable opponent like Trump, emphasizing the importance of addressing key voter concerns in a compelling manner.
