On Friday, CNN host and political commentator Michael Smerconish said that former President Trump holds a significant advantage over Vice President Harris when it comes to policy.
During the segment, Smerconish said that if Americans strictly cast their votes based on candidates policies Trump would more than likely win the 2024 election.
“So the question is one of the race going to be about personality. If it is, he loses,” Smerconish said of Trump, adding that Trump, however, “probably wins” in a battle over policy with Harris.
“When you look at the data and when you ask people whether they appreciate, I’ll say the Biden-Harris record or the Trump record, they look back favorably on the Trump years.”
The CNN host noted that Trump should try to “rein in his worst inctincts.”
“He deviates too much from that script when he looks at the audience and thinks they‘re getting bored,” he said. “Let‘s not forget, the Republicans had a great convention. I thought they were note-perfect and, so too, the Democrats.”
“So it‘s still up in the air,” Smerconish said of the election fight between Harris and Trump. “It‘s still a margin of error [race]. Who the heck knows the next twist in this road?”
Earlier in the segment, Smerconish also pressed Harris to take questions from journalists: “Now, she‘s got to sustain this momentum when she‘s questioned, because it still rankles me, the idea that on the 8th of August she was asked when she would make herself available for an interview and she said, ‘I think I‘m going to do that by the end of the month.’ By the end of the month?”
Harris has not held a press conference in over 33 days.

She did not say the end of which month!! She has refused to do a news conference or to actually answer any questions. Unfortunately the MSM has basically given her a free pass
