The senior adviser for Harris 2024 campaign previews the upcoming vice presidential debate, highlighting the contrasting visions of the two candidates.
The CBS News Vice Presidential Debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz is analyzed by Ian Sams.
A senior adviser to the 2024 Harris campaign stated that Tim Walz is eagerly anticipating debating JD Vance on Tuesday at the CBS News Vice Presidential Debate in New York City, which could be their only encounter before the November election.
On "The Story" with Planet Chronicle anchor Martha MacCallum, Ian Sams, the former White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, discussed a CNN report that claims Harris' running mate is anxious before the upcoming debate.
According to sources close to Walz and his campaign team, the Minnesota governor is concerned about disappointing Harris and reportedly stated during his running mate interview that he is not a strong debater.
Sams stated that voters will have the opportunity to observe two candidates promoting contrasting views for the nation.
"In the first debate, Donald Trump announced a plan for healthcare, stating that he has a "concept of a plan." Following that, JD Vance, his running mate, clarified the plan by emphasizing that they will reopen high-risk pools for people with preexisting conditions."
The senior adviser's question about Walz's reported nerves and how he's feeling ahead of the debate was interrupted by MacCallum, who returned to the topic.
"Sams stated that Walz is eagerly anticipating the upcoming debate, particularly as he will be facing off against JD Vance, who continues to advocate for reinstating high-risk pools that would once again place individuals with pre-existing conditions at financial risk and potentially remove their insurance coverage."
In mid-September, Vance gave an interview on NBC's "Meet the Press" where he tried to elaborate on the specifics of former President Trump's proposed health care plan, which served as an alternative to the Affordable Care Act.
Vance stated that it is important to ensure that preexisting coverage and conditions are included, people have access to necessary doctors, and a deregulatory agenda is implemented to allow individuals to choose a health care plan that suits them.
"To ensure everyone is covered, we should promote more choice in our healthcare system rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach that places people into the same insurance and risk pools, which can limit their ability to make informed decisions for their families."
The Harris-Walz campaign released a 43-page report criticizing the Republican opponents' health care plan and emphasized four key concepts that the Trump-Vance campaign aims to abolish.
Sams stated that he believes the November election will be very close, and it will be the voters who will ultimately decide which issues are most important to them when they cast their ballots.
The candidates will need to campaign intensely as there are only 36 days left until the election, which is a 50-50 race, according to him.
"When considering states like Michigan, Wisconsin, or Pennsylvania, where President Trump held a rally in Erie over the weekend, voters want to know what he will do for them."
