Former Trump aide explains why Trump is scared of Kamala Harris.
Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin made a thought-provoking observation on why former President Donald Trump has been relatively silent about Joe Biden’s lackluster performance in the recent presidential debate.
Speaking on ABC’s “The View,” where she now serves as a co-host, Griffin speculated that Trump’s subdued response to Biden’s debate struggles is because he believes Biden will ultimately lose to him in a potential rematch. However, Griffin pointed out that Trump appears to harbor some apprehension towards Vice President Kamala Harris, as polls suggest she may pose a more formidable challenge to him than Biden.
The conversation on the show revolved around whether Biden should consider stepping down from seeking reelection in 2024, with heightened scrutiny on his recent debate performance, characterized by confusion and stumbling over responses.
Sunny Hostin, another co-host on “The View,” noted that Biden seems to have undergone a change since his successful 2020 campaign against Trump, his time as Obama’s vice president, and his tenure as a senator. Hostin expressed concerns not about Biden’s policies but about his delivery when speaking, highlighting a noticeable difference in his performance.
Hostin emphasized Harris’s preparedness and readiness, viewing her as a formidable and presidential figure. She reiterated the saying “behind every great man is a great woman,” lauding Harris’s qualifications and hinting at the reassurance of having her in a position to succeed Biden if needed.
Despite acknowledging the potential benefit of having Harris as a successor, Hostin expressed reservations about the likelihood of Americans electing a Black woman to the presidency, citing the example of Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016. However, she recognized that Republicans seem to perceive Harris as a threat, evident in their apprehension towards her.
Griffin’s insights on Trump’s strategic silence and the dynamics within the Democratic party regarding Biden and Harris shed light on the complex political landscape as anticipation for the 2024 elections builds. As the political climate continues to evolve, the roles of key figures like Biden and Harris will undoubtedly shape the future of American politics.
