Harris Borrowing from the ‘Republican Playbook’

GOP strategist Frank Luntz told CNBC that Kamala Harris is embracing some of the Republican Party’s old standbys as her own as she gains ground on Donald Trump.

He noted Harris “is taking pages out of the Republican playbook” and credited her “important use of language,” pointing to her focus on small business issues and describing herself as a capitalist.

He also noted her emphasis on freedom during the Democratic convention.

Said Luntz: “If you just listen to these general statements, she actually sounds like a moderate Republican. So the challenge for the Trump campaign is to just stop with these incessant character attacks, and challenge her on the specific issues and her claims.”
