‘They Don’t Have A Lot Of Time’: Victor Davis Hanson Warns How GOP Could Lose To Harris

Hoover Institute senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson warned Friday on Fox Business how the Republican Party could potentially lose to Vice President Kamala Harris this November.

Hanson appeared on “The Bottom Line” to discuss Harris’ policies and if former President Donald Trump has the ability to beat her as the race draws closer. The senior fellow stated that while Harris‘ “radical” policy beliefs can benefit Trump, their team needs to focus on them warning they can’t be sidetracked by “ethnic background or cackling.”

Fox Business co-host Dagen McDowell began by asking Hanson if he believed the former president would be able to “Dukakis” Harris, referring to the 1988 election where former President George W. Bush ended up winning despite his opponent, former Democratic presidential nominee Mike Dukakis being ahead in the polls.

“That’s going to be the central issue of the campaign. Because on the one hand, they don’t have one or two years, they only have 90 days and she’s not going to be allowed, as was Biden not allowed in 2022, to do anything other than teleprompted set speeches in front of receptive audiences,” Hanson said. “They don’t have time to go down all of these cul-de-sacs about ethnic background or cackling, all that. They got to get right to the point and that’s to draw out on all these things they said.”

“The good news she’s never in her life spoke to an oppositional audience. She ran for state office in California, she ran for office in the Bay Area, she had aborted a brief primary candidacy in front of left-wing audiences. In all of those cases, her aim was to be the furthest left on the stage in a left-wing environment,” Hanson continued. “It’s not that she said all these things, she emphatically said them, she doubled down on them she stressed that she was a radical. They’re all over the last 20 years in the record.”
