Pollster Frank Luntz said Thursday that one of Vice President Kamala Harris' responses during a CNN town hall on Wednesday was a perfect illustration of why her campaign is struggling.
when asked When CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked her if she supported building a border wall, Harris quickly pivoted to attacking former President Donald Trump instead of answering directly. On “Squawk Box,” Luntz criticized Harris for shifting her focus to Trump, saying she should have voiced support for wall funding had she been elected president in November. did.

“I think this clip shows exactly why Ms. Harris is in trouble at the moment, but I don't understand why it hasn't been featured in the campaign. “Where on the wall is it standing?” And what does she do? “She moved on to Donald Trump and immediately mentioned him twice within the first five seconds,” Luntz said. “She hasn't signed a deal yet. She hasn't told people exactly what she's going to do yet.”
“In fact, what she should have done at City Hall's opening ceremony was, 'I want to say what we're going to do for the first hour, the first day, and the first week, and it'll take five minutes. “So, Anderson, you have to sit tight.''Here's what we're going to do by 1 p.m.'' She didn't do any of that,'' he added. “She hasn’t told the public about herself step by step.”
CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin confronted Luntz about how Harris should have answered Cooper's questions.
“She's going to say, 'I'm going to introduce a pro-wall bill in the first 24 hours,' and she's going to support the DREAM Act for progressives who want immigration through no fault of their own, and more We'll fix illegal immigration so people can get into the country the right way.'' That's a very easy compromise, but she doesn't say that,'' the pollster said.
Harris previously called the border wall “stupid” and Cooper referred to Trump's “medieval vanity project” in a question to Harris. However, she currently supports bipartisan political parties. border bill It was proposed in February to spend hundreds of millions of unused public funds on building more border walls.
As the campaign drew to a close, Ms. Harris shifted her message from promoting fun to trying to paint Mr. Trump as a danger to the United States. Luntz said Tuesday that Harris will “fail” to secure an election victory if she “just bashes Donald Trump.”
Trump currently holds a narrow lead over the vice president in all seven of the top battleground states. According to RealClearPolling average.
