Vice President Kamala Harris’s poll numbers have continued to go up since beginning her campaign, catching up to former President Donald Trump, even surpassing, in some swing states. How has her campaign been able to gain so much steam and can it continue? What will each candidate need to do to gain the majority of Americans’ favor?
Tusk Venture Partners Founder And CEO Bradley Tusk joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss the upcoming presidential election, why the Harris campaign has seen so much positive buzz compared to President Biden’s, and how it can continue to perform well.
On Harris’s popularity, especially compared to Biden, Tusk states: "It was very hard to get excited about an 81-year-old guy who, especially in the world of tech, didn’t know anything, right? Like he couldn’t tell you what AI stood for or anything else like that. Look, I don’t know if Harris is going to be incredible on tech or not, but she at least she’s not 81. She comes from California, Northern California, has familiarity with Silicon Valley. Will be better suited to understand issues that we care about. And some of her appointments will have to be better."
He explains why he is leaning more towards Harris: "I have been very publicly for Harris, and it’s simply because I don’t know which president I’ll make more money or less money under. But I know that it was just really stressful for me when Trump was president. It was just chaos all the time. I don’t like living in that… And I don’t think that’s good for the economy either. "
In terms of how either candidate will perform moving forward in the election, Tusk says: "The fact that we’re ten weeks out and we really have no idea means we’re not talking big margins in either direction, which means getting anything through Congress, whether you’re Trump or Harris, is going to be virtually impossible. So, I wouldn’t take anything they’re telling you they’re going to do that requires an act of Congress at face value, because the likelihood of them passing it on either end is really low."
