Republican Activist: Kamala Harris as Democratic Nominee Makes Race 'Tighter'

This is day one of the National Democratic Convention, where we are going to speak with Charlie Kirk, who is a Republican and is an American political activist. Charlie, thank you so much for joining us. Now, of course, this is a Democratic Party convention, but what is it going to take for former President Donald Trump and his VP nominee, J.D. Vance, to win this election? Yeah, it's going to be a tough fight. The Democrats right now have a new nominee, and it's a much tighter race. I think I really like our chances, but it's going to require a focused message, talking about inflation, talking about immigration, and presenting a different agenda to the American people than what they're going to see here in Chicago. President Trump has built a once-in-a-generation movement of people of all sorts of backgrounds to be able to come together and to unite, and we're going to see that really kind of come to fruition after Labor Day. But I'm here in Chicago trying to spread the message, spread the word, and counter every way I can. And, Charlie, on that note, there is talk, you know, how Kamala Harris has added fresh blood and re-energized the Democratic base. When we look at this party, do you think she can keep up the momentum without really talking about her plans for the economy? I think that President Trump, poll after poll, is in a much better, stronger position when it comes to the economy, when it comes to lower prices, when it comes to immigration, when it comes to foreign policy. And so if we stay focused on that issue subset and we understand what this election is about, I think we'll be successful coming into November. People who voted for President Joe Biden in the primary, what happened to their vote? What do you see happening within the Democratic Party? Yeah, they were completely and totally disenfranchised. Their vote was taken away from them. They do not have a voice. They were told that their vote basically does not matter. And instead, Kamala Harris just kind of waltzed in and the delegates went behind her in a very suspicious, sneaky way. It's interesting how the party of democracy decided to get away and go away from primary elections. Charlie Kirk, thank you so much for joining us tonight. Thank you. Thank you.
