Trump allies propose strategies to defeat Harris in debates: "Already defeated one Democrat"

The upcoming debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump is crucial in the margin of error race with eight weeks to go until Election Day, especially since early voting is already underway in some battleground states.

According to veteran GOP strategist and Republican Jewish Coalition CEO Matt Brooks, the upcoming race will significantly influence people's perceptions and have a decisive impact, as he stated on Planet Chronicle Digital.

In the debate, a lot is at stake, as emphasized by Republican consultant and Planet Chronicle contributor Ari Fleischer.

Although Trump is widely recognized among American voters, Harris is relatively unknown to them.

Fleischer, a White House press secretary under then-President George W. Bush, argued that for the first time, people would get to see whether she could stand on her own two feet.

In a first and possibly only face-to-face meeting before the presidential election, Harris and Trump will appear on the same stage at Philadelphia's National Constitution Center during an ABC News debate.

Since replacing President Biden as the top Democrat for the 2024 ticket in July, Harris has experienced a surge in polling and fundraising. However, Republicans contend that Americans' enthusiasm for the vice president is waning.

Trump should focus on policy attacks against Harris, as he did against Biden in the first debate, to show a disciplined and tough approach, like the one he displayed in the first debate.

If we adhere to policy, the distinctions will be distinct and evident. The American people will receive this information if we remain on course. This is what they desire and what they expect to hear.

Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina stated that the former president "doesn't require my counsel. He simply needs to remain authentic."

Scott stated that "The American people have mostly made up their minds, and this debate will reveal why Donald Trump is the only viable option in 2024 for those undecided voters."

President Trump's stance is well-known to the American people, as Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, a Trump ally and surrogate, emphasized.

Cotton accused Kamala Harris of running as a blank slate.

Cotton concurred with Scott's viewpoint that "President Trump doesn't require my counsel."

Cotton stated that he hopes to end another presidential campaign through a debate, this time by exposing Kamala Harris' radical record.

Biden's poor showing in the June debate against Trump sparked doubts about his ability to continue serving as president for another four years, prompting a growing number of Democrats to urge him to abandon his campaign. Biden ultimately made the decision to end his bid for re-election and endorse his vice president in a major announcement on July 21.

Trump and Harris are adopting contrasting strategies for the upcoming confrontation on Tuesday.

Harris spent the last four days in a downtown Pittsburgh hotel participating in an intensive "debate camp," featuring multiple mock debate sessions.

On Saturday, Trump left his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, to travel to Wisconsin for a campaign rally.

"Fleischer stressed the importance of Donald Trump being familiar with Kamala Harris' positions on gun confiscation, likening the border patrol to the KKK, ending fracking, and offshore oil drilling. He emphasized that Trump must study ahead of time to understand these positions."

In a Planet Chronicle interview, Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign national press secretary, stated that President Trump is fully prepared.

Biden's stilted speech and inconsistent replies during the first debate allowed Trump to present his argument with minimal interruption.

It is unlikely that the 78-year-old Trump will have the same level of freedom against the 59-year-old Harris, a seasoned prosecutor who served as San Francisco district attorney and California attorney general before being elected to the Senate in 2016.

The major concern for Tuesday's debate is how Trump will respond if Harris challenges him, by attacking back and exposing his probable insults and falsehoods.

"President Trump's unpredictability is what makes him authentic and real, but it also comes with risks. Fleischer hopes that Trump will maintain his disciplined demeanor in the upcoming debate against Joe Biden, as he has already defeated one Democrat."
