We've already seen people questioning, and it was not just lisping, who's also slurring. We've already seen that. Moreover, you can see a contrast between the two campaigns and the candidates behind them. As your guests have been talking about in the last couple of weeks, the Harris campaign has vetted, chosen, rolled out their VP candidate, successfully, I should say, and has done seven campaign swing states, tours. Through the seven campaign swing states, Trump has only shown up in Montana so far. He's done a couple interviews. And as we've just been talking about, those interviews have been disastrous. And if anything, just painting a greater contrast between the two visions and the character of the two different candidates."

Tim Walz does have that experience, and he could provide information to the campaign about his experience with that.

This is happening on both sides. There's multimillion dollar ad spending campaigns in swing states. Trump's video goes on offense. He's attacking. Harris is weak on immigration issues.
