Report: Kamala Harris to Prioritize Attacks on Trump Rather than ‘Substance’ During DebateNick Gilbertson 2 Sep 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris will apparently favor attacks on former President Donald Trump rather than “substance” at the September 10 ABC News presidential debate, according to a report.
NBC News reported late Thursday on Harris’s plan, which centers around trying to agitate Trump:
A source told NBC News that while Harris’ team is preparing to talk about a variety of topics, the campaign very much views the optics of the debate as critically important. To that end, the source said, Harris and her team are focusing on homing in on how to needle Trump to rattle him.
In that sense, the source said, it’s going to be less about substance and more about showcasing Harris as a woman who isn’t scared and isn’t going to cower and who is standing up to Trump and holding him accountable.
Harris will likely try to attack Trump over the so-called “bipartisan” pro-migration border bill that failed to make it out of the Senate, per the outlet. The legislation was put forth by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Krysten Sinema (I-AZ), and Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Harris and other Democrats have falsely claimed Trump’s opposition to the bill stopped it from passing Congress.
Harris did so during her first interview Thursday — more than a month after becoming the Democrat nominee — with CNN’s Dana Bash, as Breitbart News reported in a fact check.
