00:00We could potentially see a Trump-Harris debate,

00:05which would be drastically different, I believe,

00:08than what we saw just a couple of weeks ago.

00:11But what do you think voters will maybe be looking at

00:15at that debate?

00:15What do you think will be maybe brought up?

00:18I think one of the things that I heard most

00:20from people discussing after the last debate

00:22was that none of the moderators' questions

00:24were properly answered.

00:27Do you think that it'll be more traditional debate

00:30than what we've seen the last couple of times?

00:33I think Harris will give you a more traditional debate

00:36than what we've seen.

00:37And I think she'll do a fantastic job.

00:39If you think back to her vice presidential debate

00:42against Mike Pence and some of the debates

00:45that she was in as a primary caucus candidate in 2019,

00:49she did a fantastic job.

00:50She's a strong speaker.

00:52She can make an argument.

00:53She's got that lawyer-prosecutor background

00:55to make her case.

00:58So I would expect her to do a better job answering questions

01:00and a better job making a case against Donald Trump.

01:03The other thing I think that will be important

01:06in the next presidential debate

01:07is the focus can shift back to Trump

01:11on some issues related to age and ethics, morals,

01:16whatever that might be.

01:18People were so caught up on Biden after the last debate,

01:22I think because people didn't expect him

01:25to perform that poorly.

01:27So there was a lot of talk about that.

01:28And so a lot of talk about how he wasn't making sense

01:31in some of his answers.

01:33I think the general public is so used to Donald Trump

01:36not making sense in his answers

01:38that he kind of got a pass in that debate.

01:41And Biden didn't take the opportunity to point that out

01:45as the debate was happening.

01:46And I think Harris will do a much better job of that.

01:48I'll be curious to see if Trump decides

01:50to debate her or not.

01:52I think he should be a little nervous debating her,

01:55but I also think his ego is so big

01:57that he will want to try to go head to head against her.

02:00He'll probably be able to rally his supporters against her,

02:04but he may, if he's not careful in what he says,

02:08may end up further isolating himself,

02:11particularly among women voters and people of color.
