Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that Vice President Kamala Harris should not underestimate her opponent, former President Donald Trump, in a debate.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said: “Kamala Harris is running a very different campaign than she was in her 2020 campaign. She’s moving to the center on a number of issues and backtracking on previous positions, like calling for a ban on fracking. She’s getting ready to go into this must-see debate with former President Trump on Tuesday. Do you think it’s a strategic mistake that she didn’t explain some of these positions that she’s shifted on earlier in the debate? That’s because she’s obviously going to be challenged on some of them in a debate.”
Shapiro said: “Well, first of all, I think it’s a sign of strength when you play a position.”
He continued: “When it comes to the debate, look, as much as we want to criticize Donald Trump, he’s a liar, he’s all of that. I think you’ve said it before: People know Donald Trump. He’s a talented debater. He’s a man who’s willing to say anything at any time just to answer a question. And he’s a showman. He’s been on television before.”
He added: “So don’t underestimate Donald Trump. I’ve known Kamala Harris for 20 years. She’s tough as nails. She’s a prosecutor. She’ll be prepared, as has been said before. She’ll be ready to go. But this debate is going to be tough right now. I’ll also note that she’s either practicing for this debate or meeting with her team in Pittsburgh. So she might drop a ‘yinz’ during the debate. We’ll see if she has any Pittsburgh culture in her after this weekend.”
