Laura Coates: How Is it that the Trump Campaign Appears to Be ‘Flat Footed’ with Biden’s Decision to Step Down from Race?

EXCERPT:

COATES: “OK, so riddle me this. How is it that a campaign that spent literally months arguing that President Biden was not fit to run and should not be running, appears to now be caught flat-footed when he decides to get out of the race? You really didn't follow what that thread could possibly mean? It's not like Kamala Harris came out of nowhere, right? I mean, she is the sitting vice president. Her name, it was on the bumper stickers. And for months, candidates guessed that a vote for Biden was a vote for Harris. So, what was the Republican political strategy to perhaps combat the possibility that it might, in fact, be her? They appear to be starting from scratch, and the itch seems crudely familiar. Step one, find a nickname. But Trump hasn't even decided on one as of yet. He seems to go back and forth between insulting her as laughing Kamala and lying Kamala. Step two, define her, or at least try to define her.”
