GOP strategist Stuart Stevens urged in a latest interview that Vice President Harris is working what appears to be “the best presidential campaign ever.”
“I think the Harris campaign is running what we’re probably going to look back at as the best presidential campaign ever run,” Stevens, a former adviser for Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), advised Self-importance Honest’s Joe Hagan.
“Harris is going to win fairly comfortably. I think Harris is gonna win by a larger margin than 2020. [Republicans are] gonna say this election was rigged, and the Republican Party is going to fail again. And it’s going to be very, very ugly,” Stevens added later.
Stevens additionally praised the Democratic marketing campaign’s dealing with of various points this election cycle.
“The Harris campaign has done a balance of dealing with these issues you would deal with in a normal race—economy, border—while reminding people that this isn’t remotely a normal race,” he stated.
In the meantime, former President Trump’s plan, Stevens famous, is centered round “voter intimidation.”
“There is no plan except voter intimidation,” the strategist stated, including later that “it’s a very chaotic campaign that has no focus.”
When requested about any potential future plans of senior Trump marketing campaign adviser Chris LaCivita — identified for his swiftboating of former Secretary of State John Kerry (D) throughout his presidential run in 2004 — Stevens cited LaCivita’s prior assaults in opposition to the LGBTQ neighborhood.
“Well, the closest would be the trans policy attacks. But that’s a policy that was put in place when Trump was president by his own Bureau of Prisons,” he stated, referring to 2018 coverage adjustments by the Justice Division that rolled again protections for transgender inmates in federal prisons.
“And there’s two ways to look at it: One, you can say, well, they’re doing it because it’s working; two, they’re doing it because they don’t know what else to do. I think it’s more the latter than the former,” Stevens added.
With the election lower than two weeks away, Harris and Trump are neck and neck. The Hill/Determination Desk HQ’s polling index exhibits the vice chairman with a slight edge over her GOP rival nationally — 48.7 p.c to 47.7 p.c.
