Lindsey Graham, a Republican with a complicated relationship with President Trump, is rolling out a plan that could defeat Kamala Harris. America’s News Desk says:
Over the weekend, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) stated that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would defeat Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris on the condition that he maintains his focus on compelling her to defend her calamitous policy proposals.
“She’s going to the Soviet Union playbook to lower prices, called price control. She wants to eliminate private health care. She’s for reparations. She’s against fracking. She’s for the Green New Deal. On and on and on. So I would make it about policy. A nightmare for Harris is to defend her policy choices. Every day we’re not talking about her policy choices as vice president and what she would do as president is a good day for her and a bad day for us.” Graham said during a recent interview with ‘Meet the Press’ and its host Kristen Welker.
Welker immediately defended Harris, asserting that she does not oppose fracking, despite the fact that Harris has explicitly stated her support for the prohibition of fracturing.“How can you be for the Green New Deal — wait a minute, wait a minute — how can you be for the Green New Deal and not be opposed to fracking?” Graham asked in response.
Welker declined to respond to her deceptive assertion and instead proceeded with her life.
Graham concluded by asserting that Trump should involve some of the Republican Party’s most prominent figures, such as governors Ron DeSantis and Glenn Youngkin, in his campaign.

“If you have a policy debate, he wins. Donald Trump the provocateur, the showman, may not win this election.” pic.twitter.com/LGFvjAX5AS“I’m looking for President Trump to show up in the last 80 days to define what he will do for our country to fix broken borders, to lower inflation. The numbers that Americans are living with under Harris/Biden are terrible: 50% increase in gas prices, mortgage rates going through the roof, grocery costs are really high. That’s what I would focus on. Policy. Policy is the key to the White House.” he concluded.
Lindsey Graham has shown some good and bad political instincts, but his focus on winning issues seems sound to most Republicans.
