CNN Panelist Says Harris Pivoting Away From Far-Left Policies Is Creating Messaging ‘Problem’ For Trump Campaign

CNN panelist Michael Warren said on Friday Vice President Kamala Harris pivoting away from her past far-left policies is creating a messaging problem for Republican nominee Donald Trump’s campaign.

Warren, a senior editor for The Dispatch, argued on “Inside Politics with Dana Bash” that the Trump campaign is struggling to decide whether it is most effective to attack Harris as a “flip-flopper” or as a radical left-winger as she is pivoting to a centrist position on many issues. Harris notably has a far-left policy record throughout her political career, even being named the second most liberal senator next to independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders in the 116th Congress, which ran from Jan. 3, 2019 to Jan. 3, 2021.

“As a political matter, though, again I think it’s causing a problem for the Trump campaign to attack her on these things because are they trying to make the point that she’s a communist [or] a radical or that she’s a flip-flopper? Because what she is flip-flopping to, is a more centrist, general election oriented, almost Trumpian position on these things. That makes it really hard for them to sustain an actual attack,”  Warren said.
