Trump aide says Harris was killed on ‘The View’

Trump aide says Harris was killed on ‘The View’

Trump adviser Jason Miller said the interview with Sunny Hostin on View possibly “killed” Kamala Harrischances of winning the White House.

Speaking on the Playbook Deep Dive podcast, Miller said the vice president’s decision to change his strategy and launch a series of media appearances “backfired.”

“Who would have thought that Sunny Hostin from View really killed the candidacy of Kamala Harris?” Miller said. “But you can prove that Sunny did it.”

The veteran aide was referring to a “simple” question from the daytime show co-host asking Harris if she would do anything differently than President Joe Biden over the past four years.

The Democratic candidate responded: “Nothing comes to mind. I was involved in most of the decisions that had an impact.”

She returned to the issue later in the show, saying, “You asked me what the difference is between Joe Biden and me. This will be one of the differences. There will be a Republican in my cabinet.”

The Oct. 8 interview was supported by MAGA supporters who argued that Harris would get four more years of “the same failed policies” if she won the election.

Miller told podcast host Rachel Blade, Playbook co-author Politicianthat Hostin wasn’t asking a “trick question.”

“She still can’t answer that question,” he said, “and I think voters are a lot smarter than a lot of people in the media think. Voters can relate to this: Wait, you can’t think of one thing you would do differently than Joe Biden?

“We haven’t been able to answer this single question for almost three weeks now. I think that’s pretty damning.”

He continued: “I don’t know what’s going on in Harris’ world. I don’t know if it’s the Obama people fighting the Biden people, fighting the Harris people, fighting the British Labor they imported.”

At the CNN town hallHarris has insisted that her administration will not be Biden 2.0. “My administration will not be a continuation of the Biden administration,” she said. “I bring my own ideas and my own experience to this role. I represent a new generation of leaders on a number of issues and I think we really need to take new approaches.”

Miller insisted that the GOP campaign strategy of allowing Donald Trump expressing his personality through a relentless schedule of mainstream and sometimes offbeat media appearances has paid off.

He added that it was “really telling” that Harris didn’t hold a “real press conference.”
