Harris Campaign to Follow Biden Campaign Strategy of Silence
Fox News reported Vice President Kamala Harris is employing a campaign strategy similar to President Biden’s 2020 approach, which involved limited media interactions. This “Trojan horse” strategy, as one political strategist described it, aims to distract voters with non-political engagements while avoiding substantial interviews or press conferences. It’s certainly one way to hide her radically left political positions and awkwardness. It doesn’t hurt to have a vast network of media outlets to run cover for you either.
Despite the criticism, Harris has gained an edge over former President Trump in recent betting markets.
More from Fox News:
On Thursday, it was reported that Harris took the edge over Trump for the first time in the betting markets since May 1, when Biden was still in the race. On that day, Biden held a narrow 42.3% to 42.2% advantage in the Real Clear Politics betting average.
Harris has a 50.7% chance to be elected president, while former President Trump sits at a 47.9% chance to win the election, according to the Real Clear Politics betting average on Thursday.
Similar to Biden’s debate performance undermining his campaign chances, it’s a safe bet to assume the Harris campaign will follow the “silence is golden” strategy. As the proverb goes, “Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.”
