“One thing about the vice president is that when you study her career, including her time in California as a senator and her career as a presidential candidate in 2019, what people focus on is her lack of decisiveness. That's her Achilles heel to me. That's what bothers her,” Halperin said. “Because when it comes to public speaking, she's not a stupid person.” And I don't want to embarrass anyone or upset anyone or make a political mistake.''
“And I said this about her thinking, her lack of determination in where she ultimately wants to end up and how she expresses it.” “I've said it before, and I quote, the Vice President, I won't quote you, but this is her issue,” he continued. “And it's also an issue with elected Democrats in Congress and governors who fervently support her, and they know it's her issue. I'm gritting my teeth and holding my breath because most of them think, “Well, I could probably answer that question better than she could.” . I support her. I want her to win, but it's her lack of determination. ”
During an interview on “The View” on Tuesday, Harris said she was different from President Joe Biden when asked by co-host Sunny Hostin if she had broken up with him “in the last four years.” He swore he wouldn't have done anything.
“I have participated in most of the decisions that have impacted the initiatives we have taken, such as capping the cost of insulin at $35 per month, and I don’t think it goes without saying that our seniors ,” the vice president said.
Halperin said later in the livestream that Harris “reacted to a clearly anticipated question as if someone had woken me up in the middle of the night and said, 'What is the temperature on Mars?' '' he said. It's like trying to figure out and understand her position. ”
“Okay, if that's the answer you want to give, you might be a little more decisive than standing still. There's been a lot of talk about this on Twitter…but today I received from the Democrats “It was also the subject of a lot of emails and texts, that if she loses, that could be the epitome of everything,” he added. “She had to walk a tightrope between supporting the Biden-Harris administration and distancing herself. She said she's not Joe Biden, but they're different people. That's obviously true, but that answer doesn't make sense to anyone I've asked, including her supporters.”
Trump and Harris are currently locked in a close race in the top seven battleground states. According to RealClearPolling average. Mr. Halperin said early Tuesday that the vice president is on a bad trajectory in winning those states, based on the latest private polls he has observed.
The journalist also claimed that both Democrats and Trump supporters he spoke to agree that the former president is gaining momentum in battleground states.
