Basil Smikle: I Don’t Think Harris Should Do Another Debate
RUSH EXCERPT:
SMIKLE: "Well you know, I have always said that it may not move people, the narrative coming out, coming off of it. It does and the truth is, I think a lot of voters just really wanted to make sure that Kamala Harris looked presidential, was accurate on issues and wanted to be tough against Donald Trump, which she was. I think this is a good opportunity. I think you saw good balance. I also think this is a really good opportunity to actually go more local, go to ground, which she has been doing. In fact, that is why I don’t think she should do another debate. Strategically, she makes a mistake at another one closer to the election, it erases all of her wins. Frankly, Donald Trump is not a peer. I would just have a singular conversation with the vote right now. Even if she could do that, not only do I see the numbers getting better, I think she should still run, but I think the numbers will still get better, one issue is that most defined from a policy standpoint between her and Donald Trump is on the economy. I think she can make up that ground. I feel that the best way to do that is go to the ground."
