Donald Trump needs to say he is a loser in the 2024 presidential election, Jeanine Pirro said on Tuesday’s “Cinco” show.
According to one Fox News pundit, Vice President Kamala Harris is “losing speed and altitude” and “that’s why she knows it’s reasonable to say she’s in danger.” The result, Pirro added in a tweet to Politico, is that “it’s like a knife fight in a phone booth.”
“At this point, if I were Trump, I would say I’m at risk, too. Because I think both of them can credibly say that,” he said. (Trump is) when you look at the path to 270 in the electoral college, he’s above the national average.”
“The seasons are going to be the same. I think it’s kind of funny since it’s Labor Day weekend; everyone was either at home or visiting wherever they were and coming back from whatever bubble they were in. And they come back and they say, ‘No one I know is going to vote for Kamala Harris,’ or ‘No one I know is going to vote for Donald Trump,’ and they think that’s a given,” Pirro said, insisting that the race between the two candidates is virtually equal.
Labor Day is traditionally considered a milestone on the road to the presidency. Pirro responded article published by Politico, which suggests Harris is leading Trump in swing states including Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Nevada, as well as Georgia, which voted for Biden in 2020. Polls also show Harris ahead in Wisconsin, a state where she typically leads. It was based on Republicanism. Meanwhile, Trump is currently ahead of Harris in North Carolina.
Pierro also took issue with the Harris campaign’s decision to travel to New Jersey, Virginia and Minnesota this week, saying he thought Trump had put the battleground states “within the realm of possibility” for Republicans to win. Perhaps, he added, the campaign had traveled to those states to “harden things up.”
The first debate between Harris and Trump is scheduled for September 10. The rules for the debate have not yet been defined by either campaign, and in late August there was a dispute over whether to mute a candidate’s microphone during the election event.
Brian Fallon, a senior communications adviser for Harris’ campaign, said in a statement: “We have told ABC and other networks looking to host a potential debate in October that we believe both candidates’ microphones should be live throughout the entire broadcast.”
“We understand that Trump users prefer a muted microphone because they don’t believe their candidate can handle 90 minutes of the presidency alone,” he said. “We suspect that Trump’s team hasn’t even told their boss about the controversy because it would be too embarrassing to admit that they don’t believe he can hold his own against Vice President Harris without the benefit of the mute button.”
