Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) said Thursday on CNN's “The Lead” that Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris should hold more town hall meetings to engage with voters. said.
Host Jake Tapper said, “Do you think she should do more rallies?” I covered Obama in 2008. You may remember that when I was covering that campaign, I used to interview you a lot. And at the moment, she has two rallies today. But generally speaking, if you compare her gathering schedule in October with his gathering schedule in October 2008, he did more. We may now be entering a new era. In 2024, that may not be necessary. I don't know. Sure, Donald Trump hasn't held as many rallies as he did in 2016, but what would you think if you told her, I mean, she's a young, energetic woman? I mean, she has energy. She may be comparing it to her own younger days. Do you think she should do more? ”
“You know, my theory on this is that she should have more meetings like town halls where she's interacting with voters, asking voters questions, giving voters answers,” Clyburn said. There's no filtering between candidates and people that often happens in one-on-one interviews, but I have nothing against them. , if she wants to be her best self, it's always when she's engaging with voters and engaging with them one-on-one, unfiltered by any commentator, so she's actually who she is. We're going to do more than what we're doing, and that's what I'm proposing.”
