Byron Donalds critiques Kamala Harris ahead of presidential debate

Ahead of the presidential debate scheduled for Tuesday night, Rep. Byron Donalds criticized Vice President Kamala Harris, asserting that her portrayal by the media as a 'Hollywood starlet' has not altered the fundamental issues facing voters. He emphasized that the Biden-Harris administration has negatively impacted the economy, border security, and foreign policy. Donalds predicted that the debate would highlight the stark contrast between Donald Trump's administration and the current administration, suggesting that Trump should question Harris on her record and her role in addressing key issues like inflation and border security. Donalds expressed skepticism about Harris's debate performance, stating that she lacks a strong track record in such settings and that there is 'no margin of error' for her. He believes that this debate could signify a turning point for her campaign, potentially marking 'the beginning of the end' for her presidential aspirations. He urged Trump to challenge Harris on her past actions and decisions, particularly regarding President Biden's cognitive decline and the administration's handling of pressing issues. Senator Ted Cruz echoed Donalds's sentiments, arguing that Harris cannot effectively campaign on the current administration's record, which he described as a 'train wreck.' Cruz hopes that Trump will draw comparisons between his own presidential achievements and Harris's record, allowing voters to make informed decisions based on the candidates' policies and past performances. Overall, the upcoming debate is seen as a critical moment for Harris, with significant pressure on her to perform well and address the criticisms levied against her and the Biden administration.
