Republican pollster Frank Lutz has some insight into Harris’ run.

Her next big opportunity to take a giant leap forward is during the debate with Trump. I don’t think he knows how to do anything but complain; I can’t image him wielding facts and statistics, and I really think the average person is just tired of his whining about doom and gloom.

So she really just needs to do a cromulent job touting the administration’s accomplishments and her plans for the next 4 years.

A nice zinger wouldn’t hurt, either. No pressure or anything.

I also think that there’s another opportunity for her campaign to get a jolt (albeit indirectly) when the US Fed meets in mid September. Inflation is dropping, and they’ve been dragging their feet on cutting interest rates.

If they finally do, it will heat up the economy. People will feel better about borrowing money, and it’s my hope that the voting public will be feeling the affects as they begin early voting
