CNN Host Asks Harris Spox Point-Blank Why There Are So Many Undecided Voters Weeks Out From Election

CNN host John Berman asked Harris-Walz campaign senior national spokesperson Ian Sams point-blank Monday why there are currently a large number of undecided voters just weeks ahead of the 2024 election.

Berman questioned why there is a chunk of voters who remain undecided despite Sams’ argument that Republican nominee Donald Trump is spewing “dangerous and divisive rhetoric.” The Harris campaign spokesperson responded that much of the American public does not have the time to pay as close of attention to the election, and thus may be unaware of Trump’s alleged rhetoric.

“Why do you think there are still undecided voters, then? If what you say is true, if how you see it is so clear, why are there still people out there who do not see it as you clearly as you do, who do not hear the Arnold Palmer comments as disqualifying?” Berman asked, referencing Trump bringing up late golf star Arnold Palmer’s penis during a Saturday rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

“Look, people are still trying to make up their mind,” Sams said. “We live in a very divided country, it’s going to be an extremely close election, both candidates have consolidated their party’s support behind them, we’re competing for a very small sliver of voters who are still trying to make up their mind. People are living their lives, people are busy, people are taking care of their kids, they’re going to work, they may not be paying as close attention to 🏛️Politics as you and I are, John, but when they do pay attention it’s in the final few weeks before the election.”

The CNN host further asked if the voters are hearing Harris’ policy proposals if they are consistently hearing the campaign’s criticisms of Trump. Sams replied that the voters have and will continue to hear the vice president talk about her plans for the future.
