Chris Christie Offers Debate Advice For Kamala Harris

Chris Christie

Former New Jersey governor and presidential candidate Chris Christie recently penned an op-ed in The New York Times offering advice to Kamala Harris ahead of a debate. Christie, who has debated Donald Trump multiple times and participated in numerous debate prep sessions with him, emphasized the importance of not getting caught up in personal attacks against Trump.

Christie advised Harris to focus on showcasing her ability to answer questions confidently and demonstrate a strong grasp of key issues. He cautioned against engaging in a battle of insults with Trump, noting that many have struggled against him in that arena.

Governor Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, familiar with Christie and Trump's debating styles, echoed the sentiment that Harris should avoid personal attacks and instead emphasize her competence in addressing questions on various topics. Sununu emphasized the need for Harris to highlight her role as an agent of change within her administration.

Regarding Trump, Sununu suggested that the former president should delve into specifics when discussing issues like the economy and the border. He recommended Trump connect with voters by addressing real-life concerns such as the rising cost of living, rent prices, and public safety issues like the fentanyl crisis.

In conclusion, the focus for Harris should be on demonstrating her ability to handle questions effectively, while Trump should aim to make a tangible connection with voters by addressing specific issues that impact their daily lives. By following these strategies, both candidates can make a compelling case to the American electorate during the upcoming debate.
