Former President Bill Clinton gave a lengthy defense of Vice President Kamala Harris during a campaign stop in Durham, North Carolina, on the first day of early voting in the battleground state.
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) introduced Clinton as “the comeback kid” who “knows a little something about being an underdog and being underestimated” — a nod to the Harris campaign’s recent polling woes.
But once onstage, Clinton used his trademark charm and long-winded delivery to explain why he thinks voters should choose Harris over former President Donald Trump.
“I know both the candidates pretty well,” said Clinton, who was a friend of Trump in the 1990s. “I think Kamala Harris is the only candidate in this race with the vision, the experience, the temperament, and yes, the will to [do what’s best for the country] on good and on bad days.”
Trump is narrowly leading Harris in North Carolina and every other swing state, per the RealClearPolitics polling average.
