In a Monday call with reporters, Trump spokesman Jason Miller revealed some of Trump's strategy for Tuesday's debate. As might be expected, the key strategy is: lie.
According to Miller, Trump’s big pitch isn’t just to tie Democratic nominee Kamala Harris to the policies implemented under President Joe Biden. It’s not even to suggest that Harris has been advising Biden on those policies. Instead, Trump intends to push the idea that Harris has been secretly running the government all along; that this is actually the “Harris/Biden administration.”
It’s a strategy that may appeal to Trump’s base, who are already big believers in secret governments, and is the focus of at least one new Trump ad. But it’s likely to leave most Americans scratching their heads.
And if Trump wants to fight on this ground, expect Harris to be very prepared.
